This place is fantastic. It is on a historical street of Florence, a very short walk to the river and train station and a short stroll to the city centre and all the main attractions. The place is spacious, comfortable, quiet and very beautifully decorated. The local recommendations in the email were excellent. We met Stefano, Paolo's brother, at check in and he was incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. We followed all of his local recommendations and had a wonderful time and eat some delicious food. There are two additions we would add to the gelati recommendations when you are around The Duomo - Gelateria Edoardo (served in freshly made waffle cones!!) and La Strega Nocciola. YUM! If you want a delicious, cheap meal to eat in, we found an excellent fresh pasta and pasta sauce place just around the corner- Pastificio Morioni.
Overall a wonderful visit and we would highly recommend this place.
