Pietro's attic is THE place to stay in Firenze! Highly recommended!
It's a very cosy and unique apartement of your own to relax and gain new strenght after the culture- and architecture-overdose that Firenze provides.
As it's in the very center of the historic area (few steps form the Medici palace and the Duomo is just down the road!) it's perfect to rest a little and maybe grab a bite in between museum-visits or city-explorations.
Now you would expect quite some noise at night being in the center. But unlike other places i've stayed at in Firenze it is very peaceful and quiet in the evening and night!
That's partly due to it being on the top level (in many ways..). It's charme comes from the visible roof-construction: Wooden beams and bricks and some small preserved details, niches and the few steps up an down make for a special atmosphere in the apartement with great sattisfaction for folks with an affinity for architecture. That's very well done!
Even though it was even freezing at our stay the apartement was well heated - and for summer there's AC (which we didn't test :D).
There's a good amount of daylight coming in through the roof-windows and from the bed you could watch the fullmoon above you - and if you don't like it's silver shine you can shade all windows in both rooms and sleep in total darkness. And if it rains in Firenze you might be the only one's who are happy about it - you hear the gentle drops on the roof surface - good sleep guaranteed! (The beds and
Getting up to the apartement after an exhausting day isn't a problem since there's an elevator so do not fear the height - though I would not recommend it for immobile people since there'll always be few steps.
The kitchen, bathroom and beds are more than fully equipped and a supermarket is just across the road - easy! If you prefer eating out there's plenty of restaurants around the corner and as well recommendations are to find a nice info-folder the hosts provide.
It has been absolutely clean and tidy upon arrival! Flawless!
Your hosts Pietro and Alessandra are very kind, caring, responsive and give you a warm welcome to the city you would't find in any hotel! I was so stupid to mistake the time of arrival to Florence by 1,5 hour and still Alessandra was waiting for us in the apartement - incredibly engaged hosts! Also if there's anything out of place you can text them and there'll be help right away! A very pleasant experience with the two.
Well what more to say? Bottomline is: That's a perfect place to start your venture into the Renaissance! Be it as a family, couple or as friends - this place suits all! There might be a load of AirBnb's out there but this one stands out through it's rustic, cosy atmosphere and it's incredible hosts!
