Mario is a perfect gentleman, educated and sincere. Corilla’s palace is a unique beautiful stay located in the heart of Florence, literally a few steps from the Duomo. As other reviewers have said-he met with us at the train station and walked us to to palace. During our walk he he gave is many tips and tricks on our stay, where to shop and eat, and surprise (!) you turn the corner and there is the magnificent Duomo right on the corner of the Palace. Take a look out of your window and you can see the Medici architecture. The interior is superbly decorated, right out of a novel from the 1700’s.. but Better! Corilla was an extraordinary woman, who accomplished many feats in her time. If you love history, love being within STEPS of every historical monument in this beautiful city of Firenze, this is your stay! Don’t miss out on this one in a lifetime stay, that is very fairly priced. Thank you Mario!
