We’ve just stayed for 4 weeks. First thing is location, location, location! The tourist numbers on the other side of the river were overwhelming and Santa Spirito was like an oasis. It is so close to river and the square is a unique and lively microcosm with plenty of action - restaurants, night time concerts, markets, dog walkers, locals chatting and trees. The streets are magic because there is always a different roller door open revealing another jewel - art spaces, antiques, upholsterers, interior decorators, fashion boutiques. The hill behind up to Fort Belvedere and beyond Pitti Palace were great to explore. Lucky enough to get tickets to see frescoes under restoration in Brancacci Chapel - a real highlight. We walked and walked all over Florence and when Museum overload hit always glad to come home to the lift and air conditioner! Shop keepers, neighbours, waiters were all super friendly, helpful and entertaining. The unit is very comfortable, attractively decorated with all mod cons and large enough if two couples were sharing. One small hitch with electricity was quickly attended to by Benedetta. Plenty of choices for eating out but as a long term stay made good use of the kitchen and Conad supermarket. Should note there is no oven. Feel like we have only scratched the surface, so much on offer. I miss the bells of Santa Spirito church already - highly recommend a holiday here!
