between Ponte Vecchio and Ponte Santa Trinita is a third floor apartment overlooking the Arno River. this is where we found one of the most beautiful views in Firenze. within walking distance to almost every popular sight, Matteo’s place was ideal for our holiday. our check-in was at 17:00, but when we arrived earlier, we were allowed to store our luggage inside until he finished cleaning. we didn’t have any trouble occupying ourselves for an hour - walked over the santa trinita bridge, window shopped, and stopped by the gelateria of the same name [one that Matteo will also recommend if you don’t find it first!]. we were then given a full tour of the apartment furnished with all of the amenities needed for a comfortable visit. additionally, Matteo gave us so many recommendations on what to do and where to eat [listen to him, he knows what he’s talking about!].
three flights of stairs is nothing compared to the location and quality of the apartment, the views from all three windows downstairs, and the host’s hospitality. we are definitely going to book here again with Matteo on our next trip to Firenze!
