I cannot speak highly enough of Monica and Turtle House, a 5 star rating is just not enough! Monica is such a welcoming, thoughtful and kind host, you will be well looked after from the minute you book. This is in fact our second stay at Turtle House, and wont be our last. Monica keeps in contact with you via Air BnB to confirm everything, and to ask if there is anything you need, from advice on reaching the appartment by public transport in Florence to offering to book a taxi to the airport for you. The flat itself is beautiful - neat, comfortable and clean with lots of extra touches such as nibbles and maps/guides for the local area. And then there's the stunning garden! Like a gorgeous oasis - so peaceful, secluded and full of beautiful plants & flowers. The jasmine was in full bloom during our visit and the gorgeous scent was so lovely we left the patio doors open almost constantly to let the scent in. In our opinion its the best location in the city - walking distsnce from the town, shops and all the main attractions while being a peaceful and quiet retreat to come back to. Thank you for a wonderful stay Monica, until next time! :) xx
