We had a wonderful stay at Anna Rita's lovely home. It is an oasis of serenity in a beautiful, vibrant part of Florence. The home itself is an amazing space, thoughtfully designed, full of light, with a beautiful garden to relax, share a glass of wine and soak up the sounds of nature. There is a beautiful, large master suite with shutters that open onto the garden from the 2nd floor, a library, a downstairs guest room with on-suite shower / powder room.
If you shut your eyes, you wouldn't know you're in a bustling city. The home is a mix of modern and traditional touches, with Venetian glass light fixtures and gorgeous marble throughout. Shutters throughout the house open to allow light and air to flow through the space which feels cool and comforting. There is a fully equipped kitchen and dining room with anything you could possibly need to prepare meals at home. There are so many restaurants within steps of the front door including a new restaurant next door with lovely, welcoming management.
All of the bathrooms have been updated with amazing showers and all the modern conveniences you'd hope for. We were given restaurant ideas, a map of the area and had constant access to a very knowledgeable hostess.
