We wanted a local experience. A place that was away from the touristy areas yet accessible easily by foot. Casa Pinti was perfect. The place had Florentine style and charm, and Sant Ambrogio has a great vibe with restaurants and shops that locals frequent. We felt like we were living in Florence, not visiting. Carlo is the perfect host - attentive, gracious, and personal. He had maps and a bottle of Chianti for us. He even had a USB stick loaded with kids movies. He stayed in touch throughout our stay.
