This apartment is amazing. Although in the heart of Florence, it's location just across the river from all the hustle and bustle of the tourist centers is perfect for those looking for a quiet, comfortable stay. The old tower itself is amazing, and we were proud to be staying in a building with so much history itself. The interior the apartment has been very tastefully renovated and decorated, with a sophisticated eye, just as the pictures suggest. We are a small family (my husband, our 10-year-old son, and myself), and this space was perfect for all of us. It was easy to return home from wherever we were to rest, if needed, and each of us could claim our own little spot to read or relax without being in each other's way. The kitchen was just big enough to make breakfast and light meals, perfect for our needs. Our host was always accessible and an excellent communicator, which made us feel really secure. We went to several of his suggested restaurants and found them all to be terrific... some real local finds! We would return here in a heartbeat.
