If you're looking for a spacious, centrally located apartment with the best view in Firenze - this is the place.
Claudio & Rossella are wonderful hosts - quick to answer questions and happy to help with anything you may need to make your stay a memorable one.
The pictures online just do not convey how spacious and airy it is. I felt immediately released and at home when I walked through the door. There are large windows opening in virtually every direction that keep the large living/dining room well lit and sets up a refreshing cross flow ventilation. It was always cool indoors, but the air-conditioning is fast and effective, if needed (I took it for a test drive).
Via die Benci 10 is a perfectly situated for easy access to restaurants, bars, museums and historic sights. I'm sure you will have done your homework before arriving, but if you haven't Claudio & Rossella have put together a helpful local area guide. I tried a few of the recommended dining spots, gelato stands and watering holes - great info!
The pièce de résistance is without question the rooftop patio. The views are simply spectacular. There's even a second, smaller patio that other residents would die for.
One caveat. If you have trouble going up or down stairs, this is NOT the place for you. The charm of this property lies partly in its history - if you're coming from the USA, the building is older than our country. There is an elevator from the fourth to the sixth floor, but by then it's too late if stairs aren't for you.
This is the place to stay in Firenze.
