We spent 4 nights at Alessandra's lovely home and we loved it! She's such a welcoming and lovely host and made us feel like home. Upon our arrival, she took the time to explain everything to us and also gave us lots of tips on restaurant options and places that are not as touristy and more unique and special. She recommended a great winery in Chianti which is very special and nontouristy and even made reservation for us. Overall, we highly recommend Alessandra's place if you plan on visiting Florence. We'd definitely come back in the future!
