Dear Future travelers, Duccio's apartment was perfectly located in Florence and sparkling clean with very comfortable mattresses, and a well appointed kitchen and family area. Duccio went out of his way to accommodate my husband, daughter and 6 additional family friends to enjoy a wonderful afternoon/evening cooking class at the apartment. Duccio coordinated with us and his father - a magnificent Italian chef - to prepare a lovely dinner at the apartment. (2 appetizers, 2 pasta dishes, and home made pear/chocolate pie.) . ALL HAND MADE while we enjoyed tasty tuscan wine. We so much enjoyed the special evening together and are very appreciative to Duccio and his family for choosing to spend time with us.
