Quiet, private, well-appointed. The central and west area of Florence is _heaving_ with tourists in September. This eastern neighborhood is a great walking distance, but devoid of the huge hotels and attractions that draw crowds. This also allows you to strike out east and north for local dining options. The place itself is newly renovated with a loft sleeping area and very well-appointed and accessed via an interior courtyard. We stayed in Venice, Ponzano, Montalcino on this trip... only the Montalcino location was close to the quality of this location.

G&G are very responsive hosts, and harken back to the true spirit of B&B stays--they are part innkeepers, part concierges, and provide both a place to stay and a window/gateway into the Florentine culture and people.
