The Buti apartment is definitely a treasure my husband and I were so fortunate to have found for our stay in Firenze! It is centrally located and within walking distance to almost every place you’d want to visit during your stay—including the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Basilica di Santa Croce, Galleria dell’Academia, Giardino Barbini, Giardino del Boboli and so much more! Nothing was more than a 20 minute walk, which is a perfect way to take in all there is to see and truly emerse yourself in the culture of the city. The hospitality provided by Massimo and staff was top notch, and access to the garden terrace and bakery was definitely a added bonus (the Buti apartment also has a private balcony terrace overlooking the garden—best place to enjoy your morning café). Upon our arrival, we were personally greeted, escorted to our room and given a tour of the Buti apartment to make sure we had everything we needed and knew where we could find any essentials necessary. There were even delicious, very beautifully wrapped baked goods, bottles of water and café waiting for us to enjoy! Access to the washer and dryer is very easy— just across the garden, which made it very pleasant to launder our clothes before heading to Venice. Also, if you have the opportunity to schedule a cooking class on the premises, do so!! Chef Filippo created such a fun, personable experience for my husband and I, and we felt as if he were family as the conversation was easy and enjoyable while learning how to make ravioli, chicken cacciatore and tiramisu! Honestly, do not hesitate booking your reservation— I can’t imagine there’d be a better overall experience in all of Firenze!
