Chiara’s place is truly amazing. First, it’s basically in a renaissance palace built in the mid 1500s, so if you’re interested in history, it’s something special. It’s also located in the Piazza della Signoria which is arguably the best place to stay in the city. Incredible history and artwork, including the Loggia dei Lanzi and the Neptune Fountain. So if you want a centrally located place to stay where you can visit all the important sites, this is it. It was very comfortable with a big bed and good A/C, which really saved us in the hot summer weather. And Chiara is a fantastic host, recommending things to do, how to get around and even responding to my photo of a parking sign to let me know if I’d get a ticket or not (truly above and beyond and I can’t thank her enough). If you want to experience all that Firenze has to offer, look no further. Just book it. You won’t regret it.
