We absolutely loved our time in Florence. All in all our stay in Beatrice’s place was good. However, there were a couple of kinks. I will list both the negatives and positives as some things may be more or less important to others.
Negatives:
-The bed was not really all that comfortable. The mattress is very soft and you tend to sink down into it. Mind you, my husband and I are not really large people. Also, the mattress is placed on a very old platform style frame that bows in the middle horizontally, which leaves you feeling like you are collapsing a bit in the middle. Plus the platform is extremely low to the ground, which wasn’t an issue for us, but could be for someone with joint issues.
-There seemed to be an issue with the hot water when we were there. We each took really quick showers (less than 5 minutes) and each time we ran out of warm water. The housekeeper assigned to helping us with our stay was very kind about this issue and offered to come troubleshoot it with us, but wanted us to meet her there during the middle of the day which just wasn’t convenient to our planned vacation itinerary. However, I do believe that they will get this fixed.
Positives:
-The garden terrace (stunning, relaxing, just a real treat)
-The elevator
-The kitchen (well stocked)
-The decor (art, full-sized table, large sofa)
-The location (can’t be beat, so close to everything)
