I stayed in Florence for about 4 days with Mario and could not have asked for a better host. An absolutely amazing person with a charming home. His gracious smile every morning at breakfast made us feel at home. Our room was a beautiful private room with a little balcony. The room also had its own little charm just like the rest of his home. One morning he even made us chocolate cake! Mario even helped us contact our next host since we didn't have Italian cell phones, and helped make arrangements for us to get to San Gimigano. Next time we visit we will surely stay with Mario again.
