We had a great stay in the Novella House in Florence. It is an easy 5 minute walk from the train station and just 2 minutes from the plaza Santa Maria Novella. There are great restaurants close by and we also enjoyed breakfast in our kitchen. How thoughtful that there was a basket of fruit, cookies, crackers, etc on our arrival, milk in the refrigerator, even coffee in the cabinet. The two bedrooms are separated by a hall so there was complete privacy between the rooms and yet it was easy to spend time together in the living room and the sitting room. We appreciated having the washing machine and a great dry rack so we had clean laundry for the next portion of our trip. Thank you to Francesco and his mother for a great Florence experience!
