Violante and Nadia’s place served wonderfully to set the stage for our exploration of Florence. The pictures really do not do justice to the classic Tuscan feel the place provides. Super high ceilings with classic furniture and large old style windows and a terrace to boot help it feel like you truly in another world. You can expect some of the downsides of this type of stay i.e. relatively low water pressure but all the appliances were up to date and functional.
The location could not be beat- situated right between Santa Maria del Fiore and Palazzo Vecchio on the same medieval block Dante was born. This does bring a lot of foot traffic during the day but in the evening it keeps the feel of a tucked away quiet street.
The hosts were very responsive and also had all the spices needed to cook if so desired (we didn’t). The even left a half sized bottle of wine as a welcome gift (we did).
Overall an amazing, special place from which to experience this wonderful city. Would highly recommend!!
