Arianna’s apartment was a wonderful choice for our first stay in Florence. My husband and I spent 5 nights and loved our time in the city. The apartment itself was very clean, offered lots of space, a nice bedroom with a big mirror (great for getting ready!), the kitchen had all your basic necessities if you want to cook a meal. You will just need to buy your own butter or oil if you choose to use the pans. There is a grocery store within walking distance that has everything you need. The area itself was perfect for us. It was far enough away from the busy city center but still close enough to walk everywhere. At night time I used ear plugs as I am a light sleeper but that is just personal preference. Not much noise other than what is to be expected in an apartment. Here are some suggestions about location:
- Go to Pitti Express (only a few doors down from the flat). The owner is so nice. We went for espresso every morning, make sure to try the paninis, lasagna, and $2 glasses of wine!
- Small store with water and snacks a few doors down
- Steps away from Pitti Palace (the Boboli Gardens were our favourite)
- If you like to walk - we walked to Fort Belvedere (stunning panoramic views of the city)
- If you like adventure - look up “Tuscany Bike Tours”. Amazing company and one of our favourite moments.
Arianna and her partner Margherita were so friendly, answered quickly, and provided great suggestions for the city. Do yourself a favour and book this apartment!
