The room and view is just how it looks in the pictures and more. The view of the duomo is outstanding and the terrace was great. Donatella and her family were extremely gracious and welcoming. Her son Paolo was kind enough to find us a restaurant to make reservations and we liked it so much we went back the second night. We strongly recommend anyone going to Florence to stay at donatella's. They were great hosts and the view/location can't be beat. We hope to stay there avian if we go back to Florence!
