Francesca's place is huge! It was perfect for us and our 3 kids aged 8-12 as we had plenty of space. It is also in a quiet location away from the madness around the duomo but easy walking distance from there (5-8 mins). We were warmly welcomed and got a number of recommendations about restaurants, best gelato and activities for the kids. It is up a couple of flights of stairs, but this was not an issue for us. We would certainly stay here again.
