Vittoria was the consummate hostess. She was engaged and communicative every step of the way, and she went beyond hosting expectations in every way.
Her apartment was lovely and comfortable, and we cooked dinner there each night for our family of 5 since the kitchen was so well appointed and the grocery store was such easy access. We walked everywhere and felt quite safe.
We asked Vittoria to find us a private guide to take us through Uffizi and Accademia and she found someone PERFECT! Tickets included (No waiting in lines!) it was well worth doing.
Vittoria helped us with maps, gave tips on how to get to the car rental at the end of our stay, and when we had a snafu with a taxi strike - her amazingly intelligent housekeeper helped walk me and my kids, carrying one of our bags, to a taxi stop, calling the company until one arrived and got us safely to our destination.
Beyond the call of duty, we felt well cared for!
We WILL definitely return!
