Luca’s apartment is just as magical as you see depicted in the photos above. Impeccably put together with antique and modern touches, (that opulent mirror in the main bedroom alone is stunning) the apartment was everything i had always wanted... Modern comforts in a historical building.
The terrace is an incredible and indispensable advantage, especially in the cool mornings, as is the closed in balcony. With its windows open, it funnels the breeze coming in from the river, perfect for a hot summer day.
Ideally located across the Arno, it’s a hop and a skip away from each and every destination in the city center. The street on which the apt is located is lined with wonderful shops for antiques and great trattorias from Trattoria Camillo to il santo bentivore, la carraira gelateria, and one of my favorite pizzas at Gusta pizzeria etc as proximity to great restaurants is very important to me... (I’m not trying to make this a food review but after all, this is italy!)
I was very pleased with the layout of the apt— Despite being a solo traveler, It could be very comfortable for two couples or four friends. I loved Luca’s thoughtfulness with his nice touches of Nespresso machine and pods, teas, as that alone helps you relish your time in the apt and on the terrace. He also has several endearing Florence travel guides to help you put together your time in the city.
Going to bed at night and waking up in the morning underneath that beautiful ceiling was impressive and was the perfect finishing touch!
Thank you again luca, I look forward to staying here again soon!
