We stayed 4 weeks in Stefano’s lovely apartment while we explored Florence and the region. It had everything we needed for a long stay; it was spotlessly clean and bright in a quiet residential road just outside the old town Porta Romano. The beds were very comfortable and Stefano and his parents looked after us extremely well with extra bed linen and towels when we needed them and always reacted very promptly on the very few occasions we needed advice. Everything was handy, local eateries, baker, ice cream shop, with the Ponte Vecchio only a fifteen minute walk away and 20 minutes to the Duomo and the heart of the old town. For those less mobile there were plenty of bus routes into the centre and a taxi rank only 5 minutes away.
We couldn’t have wished for a better place to stay to experience Florence and its way of life for an extended stay. Stefano and his parents were excellent hosts and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who wants a place to stay in Florence. Thank you Stefano, we hope to be back!
