We loved our stay here and would highly recommend it.
Marzia was VERY helpful. We got lost finding the place and she found us easily. She talked us through everything we would need including area information and even left us exceptional guides she had written and maps/info she had collected. We used a few restaraunt reccommendations and ALL her walking itineraries. Great for first timers to Florence. We felt like we saw everything! Nothing was too much trouble - she apologises far too much about things like tourist tax! - and she is a lovely kind lady. The perfect host.
The location in the quiet yet lively area of Santo Spirito was absolutely perfect.
The house was bigger than it looks on the pictures and yes it is up a lot of stairs but that's why you get so much room! It was quirky but cosy. It was exceptionally well equipped ... we cooked a meal easily with all the little extras Marzia left. And she left a lovely bottle of white wine too!! The bed (we chose to sleep in the red room with the sky light) was comfy and there are lots of chargers and lights and storage.
Our tips? Check out Passaguaia just round the corner for special Italian food with a twist and exceptional service.... and La Carraia Gelateria 5 minutes walk away near the bridge... it was our favourite gelato in Florence!
Grazie Mille Marzia! !
