We loved...loved...loved this place! Anna and Isabella are the most wonderful hostesses. They made us feel so welcome in their beautiful home! They gave us a map with some of their favorite restaurants as well as helpful phone numbers. My husband and I were in Florence with our two older children and were happy to find that the place was exactly as described. Everyone had enough space and the beds were very comfortable. The place is big enough for 6 people. We had breakfast outside in the garden every morning.
We enjoyed taking a break from Florence and coming back to our restful "home". We often had a salad in the early evening in the garden. There is a nice little grocery store just down the street. Then we would head back into Florence for a late dinner. We could have made dinner at the house if we wanted. The kitchen was very nice. The house is only a few minutes walk to the heart of the city but very quiet at night.
We were going to Cinque Terre for a few days and Anna and Isabella were very kind and allowed my daughter to leave a couple of her very large suitcases with them until we came back. She is studying in Florence for the fall semester and had too much luggage to take with us to Cinque Terre.
We would highly recommend Horti Annalenae to anyone visiting Florence. If we ever have the opportunity to come back to Florence we would want to stay here!
