This place is in the heart of Florence and so close to everything we wanted to see! It was so great to be on the first floor and have access to the courtyard and giant window that we could open to feel the breeze and relax in the afternoon. The beds were clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was a welcome size- much larger than most we saw! The amenities were perfect- a full sized hairdryer, iron and ironing board, plenty of TP (a hot commodity for us Americans traveling in Italy, we found), and a kitchen stocked with our needs for a comfortable stay.
Our hosts were so hospitable. They helped us celebrate our mom's birthday with small touches like a bottle of champagne and after-dinner wine that was sweet and delicious! We arrived very early, and we were able to drop our things, get many details and suggestions on how to best experience the highlights of Florence, and be on our way to discover the city!
Fancy Food Suggestions for Florence:
La Giostra (get reservations way in advance)
La Terrazza Continentale (rooftop views with expensive but delicious drinks and complimentary appetizers)
L'Osteria Di Giovanni (another one you should get reservations in advance for!)
Unexpected Finds:
Osteria della Condotta (didn't get great reviews but I personally LOVED their trio of pasta dish)
Trattoria L'Oriuolo (their cheese plate and wine was a perfect precursor to La Giostra!)
