PEPI HOME, the apartment in the very centre of the 'citta' made our stay very special in Florence. We felt like coming home to this bright, welcoming, warm and comfortable apartment. Everything was exactly like described and shown on the pictures. Antonella gave us proper information beforehand and sent us text messages checking if we were all right during our 5 day stay in Florence. We were very lucky since the weather was warm and sunny in spite of the beginning of November. There were maps and books of Florence on the shelf, helping us to orientate. There was a print-out in a file with everything in the apartment explained in detail. (fuses, outside light, waste containers around the corner etc.) The apartment is on the 3rd floor of an ancient building, therefore it is very quiet that is a great advantage after walking all day. It is good to have two bathrooms even though the smaller has a toilet and a wash basin and no shower that means you have to walk through the bedroom to take a shower. For a loving family it is not a problem though. As for restaurants, there are two really great places nearby. Teatro del Sale (club and restaurant) on Via dei Macci offers a many course tasteful dinner, each meal loudly announced by the chef. You pay 7 Euros yearly membership fee and 30 Euros for a tasteful dinner that is followed by a different show every night. We really loved being seated to a table of a Spanish-French family and had a friendly chat during dinner. La Maremma is also close by on via Verdi with a great 10 Euro lunch of 2 courses. There were two nights when we cooked dinner and the dishwasher was a real gift for us. The wonderful sights of Florence like Santa Croce or the Duomo are very close to Pepi Home that was very nice.

We felt the Central Italy earthquake Sunday morning, our beds were shaking and the lamp was swinging above the table. But this just took a couple of seconds and nothing serious happened.

Florence is one of the most beautiful cities of Italy and the world and we would be glad to go back and stay at Pepi Home again. Thank you, Antonella.
