Giovanna's place was the most perfect place that we could have found in Florence. First of all the apartment was modern, new and beautifully decorated with phenomenal furnishings and glorious works of art. She had everything that we needed right through from a completely stocked modern kitchenette, a bathroom that did not miss a beat as far as the offerings to make your stay most comfortable. Let me not forget to mention the beautiful terrace overlooking the gardens across the way directly in front of the condo. We loved being able to lie on the chaise lounge and enjoy the view of the mountains off in the distance.
The fact that we had all of this plus a few steps away from the condo we found great restaurants and nightlife. After we dined in the evenings Giovanna and Pietro, had a great video library filled with DVDs that were current and up to date with English as one of the language offerings.
We also loved the fact that on the condo grounds parking was available to guests without charge. At night
after we dined at some of the restaurants nearby we were able to enjoy English speaking films.
To top all of this off transportation was a dream. In our approach to Giovanna's we got off of the autostrade
and within 10 minutes time connected with our hosts.
When we went to the Uffizi Museum to see some of the greatest works of art ever; the condo was the final stop. Then we got on the bus which had taken us to the Uffizi which was it's final stop at the other end of the line.
All and all a stay at Giovanna's was one of the highlights of being a guest anywhere. Best of all were the hosts themselves who were most gracious!
