My daughter and I had a wonderful stay a Casa Lily. Chiara and Mauro were unusually flexible, and welcoming hosts from the start of the reservation process through check-out. We were greeted by Mauro at check-in and he was very helpful and friendly as we settled in.
Casa Lily is a sweet, cozy, but spacious enough, apartment in a lovely location. There was plenty of room for my daughter and me to relax and not be in each other's way. The apartment is walking distance to most everything...(You really can see the top of Duomo from one of the bedroom windows!) Casa Lily is clean and well cared for, with an efficient and well equipped kitchen. The sofa bed, where my daughter slept, was very comfortable. (Be sure to request linens for this ahead of time.. We did not realize we had to do so because we assumed they would be available. Mauro brought some by the next day. We were very grateful as my daughter is a bit of a night owl and her mother is not!)
There are a number of good restaurants and shops in the area. We loved our dinner at La Cucina del Ghianda (Santa Croce) and would have definitely returned had it not been our last night in Firenze. There is a nice little bakery called Leonardo practically across the street from the apartment, a lovely gourmet shop called C.BIO, about three blocks away and, a laundromat about a block away (the dryers work very well!) The building is quiet and the street noise was minimal.
Over all, we had an extremely pleasant stay and, YES!, we would definitely return to Casa Lily and, as well, recommend it to our traveling friends. We loved our home away from home. Olivia and I so appreciate your hospitality and attention to detail.
Grazie, Chiara and Mauro!
