My family met Guliano and his wife Catherine when we arrived at their son Mauro's apartment. They were incredibly helpful in explaining how everything in the apartment worked and gave us great suggestions on restaurants and other areas to see during our visit in Florence. A bowl of fruit and lovely Chianti were also given to us as gifts. The apartment is in a fantastic location near Santa Croce making it easy to walk anywhere in Florence. The apartment exudes charm, including some original artwork by Catherine. We would absolutely return to the Leoni apartment on our next visit to Florence. It is a unique, comfortable, spacious and tasteful place to stay!
