Francesco's flat is incredible and was even much more lovely than I had expected! We have traveled extensively, but were so impressed by our experience. Francesco's attention to detail and wanting to please his guests was beyond any other experience that we have had traveling. He went out of his way to provide suggestions for places to eat and things to do, while he provided several ways to make our stay in Florence both easier on our family and also very special. The flat is beyond equal- original frescoes on the loft ceiling with a lovely balance of modern and respect of the old, with a keen eye for design and detail. The large windows also had 2 layers of black-out curtains which was lovely! The flat was quiet even though we were right in the middle of the city. We can't wait to return!
