Ilaria’s place is a perfect stay when visiting Florence and seeing all the city… especially the historic district … has to offer. Being next to Ufizzi and a stroll away from Ponte Vecchio bridge allowed for re-visits and we walked everywhere. The apartment is very large, has high ceilings and although in an old building (of course!), the place was spotless, quiet, air conditioned and very comfortable. Italian flavor decor throughout! Amanda was sweet to meet us and answer questions. Both she and Ilaria communicated well and helped with parking very nearby. Help with ordering a taxi for 4am airport run was very appreciated. Roberto’s next door is a superior restaurant, small and quaint with outstanding service. We went for dinner twice during our three days in Florence. The Veal Scaloppini, Shrimp, Ravioli and all pasta dishes for that matter were mind-blowing delicious; My daughter said her seafood appetizers and entrees were excellent; you can’t go wrong! The house wines paired perfectly with dinner. Our attentive server, Alessandro, shared local information and family stories; he became a friend. Actually, all of the local spots recommended by Ilaria were wonderful. She is a responsive, friendly host, and her place is a must-stay when visiting this beautiful city. Highly recommended!!
