Marc’s house is perfectly positioned to walk to all the main museums and other attractions of central Florence, and it is also a spacious and well appointed place to which to retreat at the end of the day, with a very good range of all the basics provided. It’s surrounded by excellent trattorias, and its parking space meant we could easily head out to Fiesole and up to San Miniato al Monte for the view at sunset when we felt we’d walked far enough. Marc met us at the beginning and end of our stay and provided some wonderful recommendations — as well as a personalised map of the city: we left well fed and cultured. Oh, and the bottle of wine he provided was excellent too. He couldn’t have been more helpful. We will definitely try to return here on our next visit.
