Mario and Paolo are excellent hosts! We enjoyed our visit to Florence immensely! This was by far the best apartment that we stayed in during our trip to Italy. The apartment has been beautifully decorated and is extremely comfortable. Awaiting us in the large kitchen on arrival was a table set with wine, fruit, and lots of other goodies. Everything that you need is there as well as the extras like soft fluffy towels and bathrobes. The location is very central and the apartment is filled with books and magazines to guide you and keep you informed about Florence. We walked everywhere and appreciated being in the midst of history in this gorgeous old palazzo!
