Overall we had a very nice stay at Casa Dante. The location is fantastic, the apartment incredibly spacious and the roof terrace gives you on of the most breath takings views of the Duomo I have ever seen. Giampiero who checked us in was very helpful and polite and also responded quickly to our requests.
Slights drawbacks 1. The apartment is on the top floor of a 4 floor building so moving luggage and groceries up the stairs was a workout as there is no lift.
2. It took about 24 hours for the flat to heat up but this issue hopefully will be dealt with for future guests.
3. The amenities were meagre for a flat of that size for a group of 5. We had to ask for a bread knife and bread board. There were no cooking utensils, very few pots etc. For the price we paid we would have also expected a teakettle and a properly equipped kitchen. There were no trash bags for example.
4. Only one bathroom is ensuite and has a working shower. The other bathroom is shared by two bedrooms and has a jacuzzi. The shower in the third bathroom did not work.
5. Not an issue for us as we had our own internet hot spots and did not use the tv. But no remote control for the tv and the wifi was not really sufficient for more then 1 person.
6. Finally and this was the biggest negative for me was that when we left our bags after we checked out and came back to pick them up. The cleaning person was going through my wife's suitcase which I found unacceptable. Apparently this had never happened before but i found this disconcerting.
Again, I want to make it clear that the apartment is beautiful and we very much enjoyed our stay but I did want to highlights issues for both the host and future guests.
