The location was wonderful and we loved being so central - such a short walk to everywhere and the house is in such a lovely residential area.
We visited the Uffizi (wonderful), and Boboli Gardens, Basilica of Santa Croce (such a beautiful square) and I made a visit to the farmaceutica Santa Maria Novella where I bought lots of presents. We also went to a really interesting exhibition in the Palazzo Strozzi (great restaurant for lunch).
We loved the local gellataria and bought two pairs of shoes from Canto de Ricci just near Porte de Romana (5 mins from the house).
We are a family of 5 so cooked in the evenings which worked very well and there was everything we needed for cooking. Daniele and Laura were so kind and had arranged a friend to welcome us when we arrived with delicious Chianti and antipasto.
