Where to begin? My mother and I stayed 5 days at Sibilla's beautiful apartment in the heart of Florence and were just enchanted. Our windows opened to the Piazza San Lorenzo and the Basilica which dates to 393, designed by Brunelleschi, a very quiet plaza, and central to walking to Duomo, San Marco, Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria and Galleria dell'Accademia! It was important for us to have space (2 proper bedrooms) and be centrally located for walking to historic sites. There is a lift! Quiet at night was also a must and it was. Renovated apartment in a historic building with a mix of antiques and modern touches. All was just perfect for my mom's first ever trip to Italy. We are both artists and were swept away by the incredible city, the art, history, food and charm. Sibilla is a fabulous host and wonderful person attending to every question we had and guiding us to the best restaurants and gelato as well as some of her favorite places not to miss. Medici Chapel adjacent to the Basilica di San Lorenzo was one of those amazing places filled with Michelangelo's sculptures! We were able to walk to most major sites only taking a taxi to the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens.. from there it's a short walk to Santo Spirito and then we walked back to the apartment! Truly this was a dream trip and experience in large part because of this beautiful, comfortable apartment and meeting Sibilla. Marriott Sheldon and Marriott Little
