I can genuinely recommend a stay at Ilaria’s apartment when visiting Florence.
If walking, it’s a pleasant walk along the river through the park to the centre of Florence.
If taking public transport, it is immediately situated outside of the public transport services.
If driving, having a parking spot for the apartment is unique and especially important if you are not using the car everyday and require somewhere safe and secure to keep your car. The apartment provides excellent access to the autostrade for quick exit from the city for day trips.
We spent 5 nights at Ilaria’s and had a combination of days spent in Florence as well as day trips to Siena, Lucca, Pisa, San Gimignano, and the location was perfect for all.
The local tips for supermarkets, restaurants, and public transport were extremely helpful, and we actually tried each of Ilaria’s various suggested restaurants every night and found them all to be of great value and quality, and we could walk to each of them.
The apartment itself is well appointed with everything you could need, as well as many very thoughtful little extras everything from a sewing kit, to condiments, toiletries, and a mobile wifi unit that you can take with you each day.
Ilaria and her family were fantastic hosts, greeting us on arrival and providing a very thorough and helpful overview of the apartment and Florence and the surrounding areas. I would not hesitate in recommending that you stay at Ilaria’s for your next visit to Florence, and we sure will be staying there again on our next trip to Italy.
Thank you for a wonderful stay.
