Perfect retreat from the hectic pace of Florence. While slightly off the main track for tourist, it is definitely not under served by nice restaurants, grocery stores and other shopping. And the rest of the main attractions are right across the Arno, so you get to cross it all the time, which is great too.
Overall, we loved Silvia's place, and we are feel that Silvia is such a gracious and warm host. Though we never met her in person, she was always in close communication. If anything, I'm the one who was a little to busy to respond at times. Silva allowed us to keep our bags in the room for the afternoon after we checked out. This allowed us baggage-free roaming that day before heading off. It made a huge difference.
The place is perfect for two. The amenities are very upscale, and the design is enviable. Highly recommend this for anyone who wants a retreat in Florence. And for folks who care about a/c, this one was great!
