Walking through the giant front doors immediately takes you to another time in history. This is an awesome place to stay in Florence. Great location. The mansion itself is spectacular, the apt we stayed in was so authentic, you could imagine yourself in the space hundreds of years ago. The garden is magical, complete with baby tortoise. By far my most interesting air bnb stay I have had. Franchesca and her husband are very welcoming answering all our questions and always there to help if we needed it. I hope to come back to Florence and stay in this mansion again
