Francesca and Claudio were the best possible hosts you could hope for. They were around to greet and show us in, perfectly supportive of any request, helpful with suggestions and directions, but also unobtrusive and truly allowed us to feel that the house was ours.
On top of that they welcomed us as if we were old friends of the family and allowed us to see Florence through their eyes.
The property itself was beyond compare, both rich in history and full of modern comfort and conveniences.
Close enough to all the major sites, within a short walk to the Duomo, to make you feel you were living in the heart of the city, but removed enough that you felt the calm of a residential neighbourhood and that you were with real Florentines, and not the herd of tourists chasing the lady with the umbrella in the air.
I would recommend this in the highest possible terms and hope to go back soon.
