Saverio was the perfect host. He communicated with me early and often and waited for me when my flight was delayed by four hours. He gave me a tour of the house and we spend some time chatting on the terrace with the most breathtaking view of the city. My first experience of that view is something I will never forget. The house is simply amazing. It is in a perfect location giving you a sense of neighbourhood life in Florence while still being in walking distance of all the key locations. Lots of great shops and restaurants on the street. From the stunning entry into the house you really get a sense of stepping into Florentine history. The house is beautifully maintained with a great balance of historic features with modern comfort. The absolute jewel of this house is the 360 degree view over the city - to sit on that terrace whether night or day and hear the bells of the surrounding churches is an experience not to be missed. Saverio was super helpful and gave some great recommendations for restaurants, sightseeing and day trips. I cannot imagine a better place to stay in Florence!
