When we arrived Francesco met us at the door and even carried one of our bags up the stairs to this third floor apartment. He also gave us a list of recommendations: bars, restaurants, places to see, which we tried out!
We chose this apartment for the ‘sky’ terrace, and are so glad that we did. It is beautifully decorated, spacious, and comfortable, and had a much needed washing machine and drying rack (we were a little nervous of the Italian-style clothes lines out the window! :-) )
Naturally we walked all around Florence, but started each day with the 10-minute walk to the Duomo piazza for coffee and cornetto at Scudiere. Top tip from Francesco: order at the bar, not at the table - it’s significantly cheaper and definitely the Italian way.
Two of our nights we ate on the terrace with a bottle of local wine and watched the sun set and the Duomo dome light up. Something to always remember…
Thanks Francesco for your hospitality!
