Don’t book it for the space (which is good), but book it for the host.
Lorenzo is incredibly helpful, informative, and accommodating. He gave us local tips, food recommendations, sightseeing ideas, and more. Lorenzo is very responsive and friendly, he goes out of his way to make sure you’re taken care of. He lives around the corner, far enough away to maintain privacy and close enough should you need something. We had tickets to a show, realizing last minute we’d need to print them out. I shot a message to Lorenzo and by the end of the day the tickets were on our doorstep in an envelope. Amazing!
- Beyond this, the space was stylish, with great reading on an extensive library if you’re waiting for your friends to shower or need to kick back for a few moments.
- Wi-Fi worked well (Rare in Italy)!
- Kitchen was small but has all necessary amenities. However, with so much good food just a 15-20 minute walk or short bus ride away, you won’t find this to be a problem!
- Note for taller folks: The space itself is a bit cramped for taller people, being an old cottage. This is to be expected as it was built long ago, but note that some doorframes are easy to run your head into.
All in all I couldn’t recommend this place more to anyone who would like to visit Florence and have a very helpful guide and friend in Lorenzo!
