Cristina is a most beautiful host, very welcoming, with a big friendly smile and no doubt a big heart to match. She always comes after work to greet any new guests and is always happy to help. When I arrived I was greeted by Roshini, a very sweet, lovely housekeeper, who showed me around and into my room. The room was beautiful, very spacious, elegant and super clean. The Florentine villas are something very special, and I really think, if you want to experience Florence from a local perspective, you should stay in one. Cristina's B&B is superb. Better in real life than in photos and description. It is very elegant and it has a soul. The area is very nice, very safe and not very far from the centre. Again, you feel more like a local living in this sumptuous villa in a quieter street, yet approx. 10min. from the Duomo by bus. I loved every minute of my stay at Cristina's and would highly recommend it to anyone who is coming to florence. Thank you Cristina and Roshini.
