I can't imagine a more beautiful place. It's hard not to spend the whole day on the balcony watching the scullers on the Arno, the arches of Ponte Santa Trinita, the dome of Santo Spirito, the semi-circle of hills. The apartment has everything one needs without excess clutter. Guido was an ideal host with a philosophical streak. When I missed my plane out (who wants to leave Florence?) he promptly set me up with another room for the night. I'm ready to go back.
