We loved everything about the Tuscan penthouse and felt fortunate to find it. My husband and I and our 20-year-old son stayed here for five nights while visiting Florence in the midst of a scorching heat wave. The penthouse provided a welcome retreat — the AC kept us cool and comfortable — and the private terrace was a great place to hang out in the morning and evenings. We got used to the five story climb up the stairs within a day and there are landings on each level, so it’s easy to stop and catch your breath if necessary. I considered it a great way to work off some of the Florentine pasta and pastry we enjoyed every day. Dani is a terrific host and responded very quickly to all communication before and during the trip. Some of the ceiling clearances are a bit low, but not a worry if you keep it in mind. It’s part of the charm because the Tuscan Penthouse lives up to the pictures. It really is as close to the Duomo as it looks, with gorgeous skylights to provide unforgettable views, and a location that is second to none. I would certainly stay here again and have already recommended it to friends.
