This apartment was excellent! We have loved staying in other European apartments for their local authenticity. This one was quite different. Rocco and Paola have created a very modern Florentine hideaway, secure and beautiful, in a wonderful, quiet area, a few hundred metres from the Ponte Vecchio! Paola was very helpful, both when we arrived and when we had questions about the area. We shared a love of music and she directed us to some excellent recitals. Rocco was also very prompt and helpful with emailing. Very happy to recommend. Lorraine & Brian Melbourne, Australia
