If you’re interested in being right at the heart of Florence (and, believe me, you SHOULD be interested) then the tower house is the perfect place to stay.
Swing the shutters open wide and let the sounds of the city drift through your windows - people making merry, making a living, bells tolling all around. The apartment is warm and inviting, with everything you’ll need to feel comfortable. Bedrooms and bathrooms are well appointed, and the kitchen gave us everything we needed - granted, we didn’t cook in it once, as there were too many tempting options right outside the door!
The only thing to be aware of - when your hosts say the stairs are no joke, believe them! As is the case in all of Europe, the stairs are old, narrow and daunting to look at. BUT - I am a below knee amputee, my dad has some pretty solid hip mobility issues (and both my parents are in their sixties) and we got up and down them fine. Carefully, but fine! Luca and my teenage son managed the luggage on arrival and departure, thankfully - Luca the host is very happy to help you.
And lastly, the hosts - we met Luca, who was kind and helpful at every turn. He even personally organised a taxi to the airport at the end of our stay. Thank you so much for having us in your beautiful space, Luca!
