What a wonderful place to stay when visiting Firenze! Alessandro made us feel more than welcome. He proudly showed us his lovely historical home and gave some nice addresses to visit downtown. The room is so spacious, light and vibrant, gorgeously decorated with frescos dating from the time this place was the chapel of a monastery. Honestly, the photos you see only do a little justice to the room. Busline 1A/B (stop is <1min walking distance) makes it supereasy to travel to the main railway station Santa Maria Novella and vice versa; at San Marco you can visit the amazing monastery and/or transfer to busline 7 which only needs aprox 15min uphill to bring you to inspiring Fiesole. PLEASE!! Don’t miss the breathtaking Fiesolian view! It really is even more magnificent than Piazzale Michelangelo and San Miniato al Monte! P.s. Alessandro has equipment for all those non-Italians who love filter coffee. He doesn’t really understand why one would drink coffee that way (and how to make it), haha quite right, but it shows his hospitality!
