Staying in Alfonso’s beautiful home for the week was an absolute pleasure.
The home itself is really unique and tastefully decorated with an artists touch, perfectly clean and comfortable and the rooftop terrace is a must have. You’d struggle to find another place like this. We watched Mars pass over the Picturesque panoramic Florence skyline with a glass of wine on several nights from the roof.
Located right in the middle of Santo Spirito it’s the perfect place for those that want to get involved with what Florence has to offer, with traditional pizzeria, gellateria, cool relaxed bars and trattoria mere minutes walk in every direction. Not to mention most landmarks, galleries and historical monuments can be reached on foot within minutes.
We were there during the hottest time of the year, some days reaching 37C outside but we slept comfortably every night thanks to the aircon and spacious layout.
Be prepared to climb stairs if you are staying here as it’s on the top floor but with all that pizza and ice cream on offer a bit of exercise was welcome! Though if you are in a wheelchair I’m afraid you’re a bit out of luck.
I’d happily stay here again next time I’m in Florence and I’d recommend this place to anyone. It really helped make our holiday special.
