What better recommendation can I offer than to say this is the second time that we have booked Roberta’s apartment for our trip to Florence. Roberta is a delightful, warm, thoughtful and gracious host, Her apartment affords one of the most magnificient views of the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio and centro storico of Florence and is well-appointed with all that a guest needs. She goes out of her way to make guests feel at home. In fact, we call it “la nostra casa lontano da casa” – our home away from home.
On a hill overlooking the city to the north, it is quiet, yet only a 5-10 minute walk to everything one might want to see and do in Florence. Fabulous local restaurants, wine bars, and shopping are close at hand without the hordes that one finds near the Piazza della Reppublica or the Piazza Signoria. You feel like a resident here and get to see life as Florentines live it.
Roberta personally greets her guests and checks in during the stay to see how things are going. She responds quickly to any questions one might have as we did when we needed to find a place to print off tickets for a concert we ordered during our stay. It is simply the best place that we have ever booked and we look forward to staying here again.
