Staying in Federico's place was simply one of the most romantic experiences I've ever had. The location is perfect, a loft looking west over the Piazza Santa Croce and south over rooftops to the Basilica Santa Croce. There are captivating views from even the tiniest window. The interior is decorated in beautiful Tuscan style. The kitchen is small but well appointed and the bathroom is elegantly designed and comfortable, as is the bedroom. Federico is the perfect host, providing excellent tips on places to eat and places to see, and he even greets you with local chocolates and a bottle of Tuscan wine to help you settle in. Before you book, keep in mind that the place is up seven flights of stairs in an historic building with no lift. For those for whom the climb isn't an issue I can assure you it is more than worth it! Couldn't recommend Federico's any more highly.
