Charming family. I spent a month @ Antonella's house to follow a Italian course for foreign student. I had a lovely stay. The family is welcoming, very nice. There is a cute little dog that welcome you when you arrive as well. They are polite and respectful. The city of Florence is absolutely beautiful! Lot of things to see and do in the city. I had some strong allergies to pollen (plants) because it was spring time and Antonella was very kind and help me with medication to take. Alessandro is also very nice and I enjoyed chating with him and practicing my Italian language.
