Excellent location within walking distance to all major sites, shops and restaurants. The cafe right when you walk out of the building has the sweetest owner. We loved sipping our coffee and eating our pastries at the outdoor cafe tables. Massimilano gave us a wonderful recommendation for dinner. His place was beautiful and had plenty of room for the 5 of us. It can easily accommodate at least 3 more people. I loved that he had a portable fan for our use. Yes, there were a lot of stairs but we were aware when we booked and it was not an issue for us. Florence is absolutely gorgeous and we would love to return one day.
