Giovanni’s room is located in possibly the most convenient area for tourists in Firenze. (Note that the St. Regis is just 2 minutes away.) It is a quick walk to all the sites you’d want to see, particularly if you want to explore the less-touristy areas across the Arno River.
Giovanni will go out of his way to make your stay comfortable. Restaurant recommendations, help carrying luggage upstairs and downstairs. He also has lots of Firenze travel guides (Rick Steves among them) in the room.
