This is my second time at ‘Bea’ and I absolutely love my stays with Paola & Roberto. The apartment is in the Oltrarno which is on the other side of the bridge from the center of Florence and is just such an excellent neighborhood. It’s only a 15-minute walk to the center so you can get the best of both worlds. Excellent bistros and grocery stores only minutes away. I highly recommend staying with Paola & Roberto. They are the loveliest and most gracious hosts.
