If you are looking for a home away from home, this is the destination for you. After a flight from Malta through Rome where, inevitably some items of luggage went on a jaunt, arriving in Florence was a well-deserved respite. The house was warm and inviting and the hosts had taken out all the stops to make our 'dead-of-night' arrival a pleasure. Roberta, our Florentine guardian angel, was available to assist us with trying to negotiate the opening of the door, which proved a challenged to weary-eyed travelers at 00:00. There was water in the fridge to quench our thirst and a beautiful bottle of local wine to uplift our spirits. Rested and refreshed, in the morning we discovered a bowl filled with maps, pamphlets and information to orientate ourselves and plan our activities. Always available and friendly, Roberta went the extra mile when we could not get through to the airport to track your lost luggage. The First Aid Kit came in handy with the 'accident prone' and the beautifully organised bathrooms with impeccable amenities were a godsend to warm tired limbs after a day of exploration. To give this host 10/10 would be understating the experience. Courtyard, terrance, typical Italian view of terracotta roofs from the kitchen, brought us back home. Grazie Roberta&Rossella! Siete state la nostra colonna di appoggio. La vostra casa, un asilo di pace, amore e luce ci rimarrà sempre nel cuore.
