Allegra (and sister, Margerita) were absolutely amazing. They weren't just hosts, but helpful friends while stayingin their home. They were on call for anything we needed and even sat down for coffee to give me all the local tips and places to go. The 16th century palazzo was something out of a history nerd's dream! It was like staying in a museum and castle all at the same time. All the modern ammenities were there, bed super comfortable, and location ideal. The ONLY less than perfect thing was the local late night noise from the local bar goers. Now I'm pretty sure you will get this ANYWHERE in florence, but just bring ear plugs! Italians stay up late I guess lol Coffee bar 10 steps from front door, duomo is an 8 min walk, and the local history is all within a 20 min walk. Will absolutely stay here again! Thanks again Allegra!
