Adriano's Nest is just that - a safe, cosy and comfortable space in the middle of the vibrant Oltrarno area of Florence. The property is just West of the Arno river and an easy 10 minute walk from SMN rail station. Whilst the location is in the middle of a bustling community of small homes, restaurants, grocers, antiques and artisans - it is also a quiet retreat.
Andrea is a friendly and considerate host who met me at the property and explained the local attractions and where to find practical things like supermarkets and banks. The basket of fresh fruit and bottle of wine made me feel very welcome.
I especially liked Andrea's recommendations for local restaurants where I could find authentic, handy and well priced meals. Any queries were always answered promptly and Andrea's genuine warmth and friendliness was much appreciated. There is much to see and do in beautiful Firenze! Adriano's Nest makes a great base to explore the city and also a central spot for day trips in Tuscany. Highly recommended!
