Outstanding gem in Florence. Short cab ride from the train station, but you will need to go up 4 flights of stairs with your luggage. We were met with a wonderful bottle of Italian wine and ground coffee. The views from here are amazing and worth the climb. The home is beautifully decorated and you feel at home right away. It is in a very quiet neighborhood and nice to sit out on the balcony and take in the views with a nice wine. The kitchen has everything you could need to prepare a meal or just some anti pasta in the afternoon. Rosy goes above and beyond to make you feel like family and offers great advice on restaurants and things to do and see. We are a family of 4 (all adults) and the place worked great for us. If you are travelling for several days and have large suitcases, be prepared as you may not have a lot of room to spread all of your stuff out, most places in Europe don’t offer large spaces. It was very hot during our visit and it was great to come home to air conditioning that worked most excellent. The master bedroom has private toilet and sink and the other main bathroom was very good and we had no trouble sharing with 4 people. The building has great history that Rosy will share with you. There is a washing machine if needed and you can hang clothes to dry. You cannot run the washing machine and 3 air conditioners and all the lights on at the same time, other wise the breaker will pop. The WiFi worked very well and handled all of our devices. We cannot wait to return and stay here again. Casa Colonna is BELLISSIMA, GRAZIA for sharing your Firenze with our family.
