This is a fantastic property located centrally, but still not in a noisy area. It is in a 7-800 year old building built on an old colosseum from Roman times (hence the shape of the building - this we learnt from the people at the restaurant downstairs). It is an apartment on two floors, with a large beautiful living room, a very nice outdoor private patio, a rooftop patio with views of the Duomo (of you´re tall) and very nice five-six bedrooms plus three bathrooms. The kitchen is also well fitted out. We were well received by Renata, the mother of Michele and everything was explained very clearly. - An added bonus is the restaurant downstairs, Francesco Vini, a great 40 year old restaurant with private rooms, a wine vault and some of the best food I´ve had in Florence (try beef cooked in chianti with truffle mash potato). The chef we got one night to our apartment, Michele (not the owner) was great, a former chef at Francesco Vini, very knowledgeable, pleasant, a good teacher who cooked healthy food and taught us a lot about Italian cuisine, healthy eating, good wine and the pleasure of life. A true master, well read, humble yet confident in what he knows - which is all things food wise.
