I stayed at Claudia’s place for one month and it was GREAT! Very comfortable and cozy, spacious and quiet. I love the furnishings, antiques, artwork, stone arches and beamed ceilings — true loft living. I love that it is on “piano terra” without stairs to contend with. I love that Claudia’s place is close to the Arno — such lovely walks. The neighborhood is fabulous—a 15 minute walk to the Ponte Vecchio and Duomo, but away from the crowds. There is a laundromat about a block away, two supermarkets within a 5 minute walk, a pharmacy down the block and a cafe across the street. The Oltrarno (the other side of the Arno) is where Florentines live. The restaurants on this side of the Arno are amazing and less expensive. This is also where many artisans live and the shops reflect that. Be sure to eat at Brindellone just around the corner, and be sure to make reservations as it is small. Go to nearby Carraia for gelato and enjoy it on the Carraia bridge. Go to Panificio S.Forno for your bread and focaccia. S. Forno also makes delicious sweet baked goods. Claudia is warm, gracious, helpful and friendly — and readily available should you need her. Grazie mille Claudia! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
