We felt such a sense of peace while visiting this beautiful oasis in the olive trees, high above Firenze, and above the famous Piazzele Michelangelo. You have private gated parking, and a beautiful yard, resplendent with olives, sweet lawn furniture for dining al fresco, and a quiet neighborhood. Everywhere we looked in this beautiful apartment - which is actually part of a larger building with tons of historic character - there was something of simple beauty to give us joy and ease. We have never felt so at home when traveling or experienced any place so thoughtfully equipped.
Francesca deserves her “super host” status and much more! Understanding that many visitors will arrive after local markets are closed (as we did), she went above and beyond to provide the BnB portion of AirBnB! There were many choices of snacks, breakfast foods, and even the local olive oil and wine. Most importantly, milk for coffee! (We have a caffeine problem.) Francesca will give you a very detailed orientation on how to use the coffee maker, gate-opener, and much more.
The downstairs bed was the most comfy we’ve experienced in Italy. The bedding is excellent and there is plenty of closet and dresser space. There is an air conditioner.
The loft is perfect for an older child (and plenty big for at least two - or even two adults, although the ceiling is low, as “loft” implies). That bed is equally comfortable as the master and the space is utterly charming.
The kitchen has literally everything you can possibly need.
We cherished our time here with our little boy, and we know you will, too.
