I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place to call home during my two weeks in Florence! The room is cosy, comfortable and private and the location is excellent, with lots of great local places to check out (the little wine bar along the street was my favourite) but still only 10 minutes from the centre of the city. Raffaele was the perfect host, kind and sociable but never intrusive. He invited me to join him and his family for lunch the day I arrived, which was lovely and such a great way to spend my first afternoon. He is also a great cook and often shared things he’d made with me. I was in Florence to practice my Italian and he helped me so much, we had lots of great conversations! I felt right at home straight away and I would love to stay with Raffaele again. Wholeheartedly recommended!
