After a missed connection in Paris and a detour through Zurich, we arrived in Florence, but our luggage did not. All was lost…almost. When we arrived at the Apartment Signoria, Lorenzo was waiting with a smile and the keys to our beautiful home for the next week. He allowed us to relax and begin to enjoy Firenze from this amazing location while he began tracking down our bags. After two days of phone calls, a trip back to the airport (for the first 2 bags) and coordinating the delivery of the final 2 bags, Lorenzo (not us) saved the day. All of this carried out with the generosity of spirit that reflects the true warmth of the Italian people.

The apartment was fantastic for us. We walked everywhere with ease; the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens, the Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo, Porcellino, the Accademia, the Uffizi, Teatro Verdi (for a Christmas Eve concert to remember for a lifetime). All of this at your doorstep and a sanctuary to return to after a day of exploring. Beautiful views from the apartment, modern bathrooms with great water pressure, firm beds, temperature controls for each room, frescos and our hero Lorenzo!!

What could have been a disastrous start to our family trip became a minor inconvenience smoothed out by our new friend in Firenze. Our experience at the Apartment Signoria and Lorenzo exceeded our expectations.

Torneremo a Firenze e L'Appartamento Signoria.
Buon Anno Lorenzo!!
