Aldas place was perfect. We met Cecilia, Alda's niece at the property and she immediately made us feel very welcome as she showed us around the appartment. Everywhere was spotlessly clean, and every eventuality had been thought of and offered to us for our convenience...from ironing water for the iron to postcards to send to friends and family. A large basket laden with fruit was available to us, along with heaps of tomatoes, onions, spaghetti so that we were able to cook our first evening meal at home. Enough bread rolls, jam and butter were there for breakfast along with some very fine ground coffee.
The property itself is situated on the first floor, so a few stairs to climb. Each room had fans, the main bedroom an air conditioning unit. It was so well situated, being 5 minutes walk to the main train and bus station in Florence so we were able to travel to Siena and Pisa without hitch. The proximity of the property for the city of Florence was excellent too, with all the main attractions being with easy access. The neighbourhood is littered with excellent eateries, cafés and bars along with an excellent supermarket Conad a couple of streets away. Cecilia very kindly recommended to us a couple of very good restaurants in the city, one of which we ate at three times...it was superb.
Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Alda's appartment and thank her and Cecilia for making our holiday in the wonderful Tuscany so perfect. Thank you ladies.
