In short Cristina made our stay in Italy! Her warmth, hospitality and incredible knowledge of not only Florence but Tuscany in general meant that we were really able to see this part of Italy from a local perspective. She recommended great restaurants in Florence, Sienna and beyond and I can honestly say every single one was a winner. Her place is beautiful, fully equipped and feels like a real home. The apartment in a really nice local suburb of Florence, only a short stroll from the centre of town, but far enough away to avoid the herds of tourists. I really can't recommend Florence and specifically Cristina's hospitality enough.

Thanks again to you Cristina, I hope we can repay your warmth & generosity one day, Nic & James xx
