I cannot speak highly enough of Silvia and this beautiful property! From the moment we arrived Silvia greeted us like an old friend. She was incredibly informative about things to see and places to eat around Florence and even took the time to sit with us and show us good places on a map. The apartments (Marte and Venere) are just gorgeous, Silvia has impeccable taste in decor and my friends and I loved getting pastries from the little bakery downstairs (Forno) and eating them in the sun drenched kitchen. The location is fabulous - moments walk from the Duomo, Uffizi Gallery and all the other sights you would want in Florence. We didn't need to use a cab once - it only takes about 8 minutes to walk from Santa Maria Novella Station to the apartment and there are loads of great bars, restaurants and gelatetias close by. There is also a couple of great little supermarkets close to the apartment so if you are staying longer there are good places to stock up on groceries to keep in the unit. AC and WiFi works perfectly and there is everything you could possibly need in the kitchen! All in all, I can't wait to come back and to see Silvia again - she is a wonderful owner with the perfect apartment!!!!
