My month stay at Casa Colonna was such a delightful experience! The apartment is spacious, well equipped and boasts a magnificent view from the balcony - great place for morning coffee - and there is a filter coffee pot that makes 12 cups which is a rarity in Italy. It is within easy walking distance to most of the major attractions such as the Duomo, Galleria Accademia, the Uffizi, the Ponte Vecchio and both the Sant Ambrogio (my favourite) and San Lorenzo (don't miss the second level) Markets. It is very quiet and close to the bus lines and the SMN train station where you can easily do day trips to Lucca or Pisa or take the train to Rome. The beds are so comfy and you wake in the morning to songbirds. The linens are all dried outside and smell like sunlight and fresh air - they brought back memories of my childhood. Rosy was the most warm and welcoming host who went out of her way to make sure I enjoyed my stay. Emails were answered promptly and she made me feel like nothing was too much to ask for. I loved coming back to Casa Colonna after wandering the city - it felt like I was coming home. The place was perfect in so many ways so don't hesitate to book it because you won't be disappointed - I would go back in a heartbeat!
