What can I say to possibly put into words my stay at Vanessa’s artistic studio?! It is exactly that, the second you walk in you will be in awe of the art that Vanessa herself has created. Every detail of the home is intriguing, from the pillows, candles, art.. there is not one empty space in that home. Everywhere you look it captures your attention. Vanessa is an amazing host, when the heater wasn’t working, she brought me her own personal heater AND bought me another one to keep me warm!! She goes above and beyond for her guests, I cannot thank her enough. The studio is right across the Arno river very close to the bridge. There’s an amazing bakery right around the corner and up the street is a fabulous gelato place you MUST try. The kitchen is fully equipped and she stocked the fridge with waters, juices and delicious breakfast items. You will be very happy with your stay at Vanessa’s!! PS. I had a chance to meet her dog which is a rescue, just goes to show you the type of human she is, with a huge heart and very generous spirit!! Gratzi milli Vanessa and best of luck on your travels!! :) <3
