Stefano and his brother Paolo are friendly and gracious hosts with a shared encyclopaedic knowledge of their city.
Casa San Giovanni is on a lively street but once inside, feels so private and tranquil you almost forget you are in central Florence. The location couldn't be better for access to the historical center, the river, nearby Cascine park, the opera house, all the museums and the central station.
The two brothers have designed their own map of Florence and a brilliant small guide of “Floretine Tips” helping you find great restaurants, cafes and special places to visit.
Highly, highly recommended
