We loved our stay in Florence at Conte/Ascanio place. The views from the living/bedroom, bathroom and the rooftop were amazing! It's as good as the photos in the write-up, maybe even better! It was in a great location on the river in a safe place. It was clean and we used the lift (there are stairs before the lift) and the washer. Appreciated the A/C after the hot Florence weather/humidity. Conte and Ascanio were very responsive. We had been to Florence before so didn't need a lot of direction. It's on a busy street but when the windows and shutters are closed you can sleep well. The bed was very comfortable after a long day of walking Florence! The couch was nice to relax on. Even though we didn't cook (as we love to eat the local florentine cuisine) the kitchen was very modern. The shower had great water pressure and quick to get to temperature. It was nice to rinse off after the heat of the Florence summer and walking. Conte let us know of a parade and the fireworks happening on our last day/night. So glad as it was something special to experience! Met some really nice people while staying here as well. We would definitely recommend this place. Grazie!
