It was a long discussion with our 65+ year old parents to stay at this place. We appreciated the warning about the long climb to the top. The stairs are well lit and mostly gradual. They were our biggest concern until we got to the top and saw the views. There are views from 4 directions, it is amazing and you'll never forget that you're in Italy. I recommend everyone having the experience of drinking their morning coffee overlooking the tiled rooves of Florence. The location was so central and convenient and saved us so much walking. The pictures really don't do it justice, it is such a one-of-kind place to stay. The host thought of everything and more, we had a warm welcome and wonderful little touches. We felt especially cared for.
