10/10 stay at Lorella’s Casa Amelie. Outstanding value in a city where you would be paying 3x as much in a hotel for 1/3 of the space. The location is perfect-5 mins from Ponte Vecchio and 15 mins from almost anything you want to see in the city but still on a quiet street. The apartment is HUGE and has a coffeemaker and full kitchen as well as a super comfortable bed. We appreciated that Lorella left us snacks and coffee as well as a bottle of wine, and she’s incredibly accessible if you have any questions. She was also nice enough to let us keep our luggage at the apartment for a few extra hours while we waited for our train-Lorella is a host who goes above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable. I highly recommend going to Piazza de Michelangelo to watch the sunset, getting the pear peccorino pasta at La Giostra (call ahead for a reservation) and Il Latini (sp?) for their traditional Florentine Steak meal. Our stay at Casa Amelie was a highlight of our trip and we will be back.
