Beautiful home away from home that gave us a taste of living in Italy for the week. Mauro’s parents, Guiliano and Caterina, met us at check-in and gave us a lovely and comprehensive introduction to the apartment and neighborhood. They even taught us how to make proper Italian coffee! The apartment was well supplied with everything we needed & the hosts were very responsive to any questions we had, including recommendations on buying Easter chocolates for our kids! Our kids, by the way, enjoyed the loft sleeping areas, though the low ceiling height of the lofted area was challenging for our tall (6’2”) son. We loved being centrally located within walking distance of the Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, and Il Duomo. It was also a real treat to shop the many nearby local markets. The only drawback, which the hosts were upfront about, was that it’s a lot of steps to get to the apartment. But (1) you gotta work off that pasta somehow ;-) and (2) it’s a real, immersive Italian experience. All in all, a wonderful place with lovely hosts, and I’d stay there again in a heartbeat.
