It was a great staying there. The hosts, Fabio, Maria, Cristina, made us feel very welcome, and very comfortable.

The apartment itself was extremely nice. It was cool, quiet, very relaxing. We were very busy going around, a couple of times we ended up back at the apartment taking an hour long nap, waking up feeling great, then getting back out there to see the sights.

The location is amazing. Everything we wanted to see was easily within a twenty minute walk, usually less. Lunch, we walked over to the Trattoria Mario, family style eating, menu changes every day. Afternoon we walked over to the Piazza dei Pitti for a classic car show. Across the street we sat and drank wine at the Enoteca Pitti Gola. At night we walked over to the Gelateria La Carraia for gelato.

Hit all the museums. Cathedrals. Climbed some crazy stairs for great views.

Walked over to the Florence National Central Library to meet our sommelier for a Chianti wine tour, also amazing.

That apartment worked so well for us, we were nowhere ready to leave.

Unfortunately, we did have to return. Cristina arranged for a very early morning cab ride to the Peretola Airport. Couldn't have done that without her.

It was the best.
