This was definitely one of the most beautiful places I have stayed in and I had a wonderful experience. The photos will show you just how stunning the place looks. Valentina was also extremely helpful in helping me plan not just my time in Florence but also my travel plans around Tuscany and we are most grateful for her kindness and hospitality. The only problem I had was the fact that the bedroom is right next to the lift shaft so you can actually hear the lift being operated when you are trying to sleep. This will only be a problem if you are a light sleeper like me and if you can sleep through all kinds of noises then this shouldn't be a problem. Such is the nature of older buildings and if you are a light sleeper I would recommend using earplugs. Ironically the sound of the trains from the station nearby didn't bother me as much as the sound of the lift being operated.
