We have just spent a wonderful 2 weeks in Serena's apartment. It was a perfect place to explore Florence and some of the rest of Tuscany from.
The apartment is a wonderful, charming place. Perfect for anyone who loves history and old buildings. We are a family of 5 and had enough space for us all. We cooked in the apartment, made use of the washing machine and well, felt right at home.
The local area is wonderful for a young family. There were parks, supermarkets, a small shopping centre and a wonderful bookshop all within walking distance (walking distance for a 4 and 6 year old...our 14 month old tried too, lol). We also enjoyed local pizzerias and gelaterias. My children were so taken with the area that they want to move there!!
The tram in and out of the centre of Florence is wonderfully easy. So we were able to explore the sights too and take some day trips further afield.
Serena and Federico were amazing hosts, from the bottle of wine they greated us with on arrival to absolute diligence over a small issue with the wifi. They also provided us with lots of useful information and tips for our stay.
I am not one to praise overly but I really cannot recmoment this place enough. We hope to be back one day!
