The stay at Maison Orange was wonderful. Really at the hearth of the historic centre, it was the perfect location for a 5 night visit. We saw so much because we didn't have to travel back and fort to a hotel far away. On the first night there was some noise on the street which was unsettling but for the next 4 nights it was more calm and I could sleep without earplugs. Breakfast was self provided but the use of kitchen facilities was a plus, since we could some days prepare our own lunch/dinner. The hosts were extremely nice and helpful with lots of good tips to see, eat and shop. There are wonderful places to eat just around the corner. It is not everyday you can sleep so close to the Palazzo Vecchio, Uffizi and the rest of historic Firenze.
