Camilla and Renaud have made a beautiful home out of this space in Oltrarno, Florence. It made our first visit to Florence outstanding. The location is perfect for walking everywhere and we felt part of the local neighborhood, as we hung out at the nearby piazza Santo Spirito. This area is not in a touristy part of town so you are immersed in the daily community life. Our host's suggestion lists and emails were so helpful and their mother, who met us initially, was also very kind, friendly and helpful too. And she is just a phone call away. The apt. was artistically furnished (actually we got some great ideas from their place). It was clean, light and airy, comfortable and well equipped. We were welcomed with a bowl of fresh fruit and useful maps. It was one of our favorite places that we stayed at during our trip to Italy. We hope to return again and it is lovely that this couple is trusting and generous in spirit with their unique home. Thank you for a very special stay- it made an everlasting memory for us!
