Walking into Elisabbetta and Eloisa’s charming flat was like walking into a Florence dream. The apartment was immaculate and every possible accommodation was available. The decorations , the layout and the location provided the dreamlike state of mind. The hospitality of the hosts was remarkable. Wine, fruit and pastries ready for us as we arrived and climbed the marble staircase. The beds allowed for great sleep and the great room gave us an area to gather our family in Florentine style with windows open to the cobblestone streets and listen to the bells of the nearby churches. Eloisa was so kind to bring our laundry in off the line and shut the windows for us as we were adventuring the city and an unexpected rainstorm blew in. This flat coupled with its location and hosts proved to create some of our favorite Italian memories. We will return to this exact location one day.
