Maurizio was the perfect host from our arrival to departure. We were welcomed with fresh fruit and cold water as well as a brief history of some of the top spots to visit in Florence. Maurizio also provided us with a map for our sightseeing. Despite not speaking perfect English (and we could not speak Italian) we got on very well with our host and managed to communicate as best we could. Maurizio is kind and thoughtful, for example taking note of what you enjoy to eat at breakfast and catering to this (the breakfast is fantastic by the way)! One morning we ate out in the garden with Maurizio which was a lovely experience. We also found our host to be very intelligent in terms of his knowledge of Florence - his passion for the city is also inspiring. The neighbourhood seemed very safe and quiet which was nice for the evenings. Thank you for a truly wonderful stay Maurizio! Our experience of Florence was a special one and we are keen to return already!
