The owner, Massimo, was very helpful and worked around our schedule. He was terrific to work with and provided many helpful hints concerning points of interest in Florence.
The property was VERY nice and the location could not have been better. We plan to contact Massimo should we stay in Florence again.
The neighborhood was 500 years old. Cobblestone streets, little quaint businesses, and no more than 100 feet from the Duomo, the center of everything in Florence.
We had a car. Massimo told of a public parking facility close by at €30 a night. Yikes, 5 nights, €150. No bueno. We found a great place to park. As you approach Florence on the A1 highway from Rome, there is an exit just for parking at Villa Costanza. €20 a week. Even better is a light rail station right there that goes into town. Perfect. The T1 line. Get off at Santa Maria Novella - Alamanni. Walk towards the Duomo and call/text Massimo. Couldn’t be easier.
