An exceptional and splendid holiday experience! Thank you!

David is a very welcoming, generous and hospitable host. It was lovely to meet him and his wife Britta! We felt that if we had a question, that he would be easily accessible. He took every effort to make our stay enjoyable, and as a Florentine man, to introduce us to the riches of his city. His hot tips re restaurants were spot on!

The flat was inviting, spacious, quiet and clean. It was thoughtfully designed and decorated with Britta’s engaging paintings. It is reached from Santa Maria Novella train station by a level and pleasant walk of 15 minutes across the Arno. It is sited just across from the atmospheric piazza of San Spirito, where there was a market of fresh fruit and vegetables and goods every day and there was a delicious bakery next door, and a small supermarket a street away.

The beautiful churches of San Spirito and San Felice are close by, also Casa Guido where Elisabeth Barrett-Browning lived. The Brancacchi Chapel is a block away. The spectacular Boboli gardens (with a wonderful view of Florence) are close by.

The artisan area is quiet, friendly, non-commercial and comparatively inexpensive. We found a number of very interesting artisans’ workshops.

We had such a good time! We will certainly return!

Thank you very much David and Britta!

Warmest best wishes
