The view from this place is no exaggeration! It was lovely to wake up to. The location for Matilde's apartment is across the Arno river, but you are still steps away from the Palazzo Pitti, La Specola, and the Boboli gardens, plus the rest of Florence is a short walk over the bridge. It is the 5th floor, so a bit of a hike, but not impossible. Also the loft has a low ceiling, so you have to crouch a little bit - so I suppose the tall and those with bad knees should take note. There's a washer, a well-equipped kitchen, and a fold out bed if you want to sleep separately. Matilde was super friendly and available if we needed her.

We stayed here for 6 days, and it was a lovely home base to explore Florence from. Thank you again!
