We loved our 5 days in the center of Florence! I cannot recommend staying here highly enough. Both Barbara and Liza went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Liza was there to welcome us with a map that and shared her local knowledge and thoughtful tips. The restaurant she recommended in Piazza Torquato had the best Florentine steak we had the whole trip, and it was so easy to explore on foot from such a central location. When staying in such a central location street noise at night cannot be avoided - I stayed in the middle bedroom which was the quietest. The place has recently been redone and has a lovely light airey feel. Barbara also assisted to book us a private winery tour in Tuscany which was great - tailored just for us, and not much more per person than a group bus tour with 65 people! (When shared by 4, smaller groups might struggle). Loved our stay here and will certainly recommend it to all our friends. Thanks so much for having us, and for all your help.
