What can we say about Margherita’s place. Firstly the photo’s do not do it justice. The rooms are large and cool, full of character and simply beautiful. Margherita is such a generous host, there is not anything she would not do to make your stay better.
But more specifically, although this is listed as a private room, you actually have the whole apartment to yourself. Which is brilliant! The reason being is that there is no access to the rest of the apartment, only the bedroom and the bathroom. Complex local laws mean that Margherita cannot let you use the kitchen.
The area is perfect for visiting the centre of Florence as everywhere is no more than 10 minute walk away. The train station is 20 mins away if your taking a leisurely walk or carrying a heavy suitcase. There is a fantastic Pizzeria over the road, a cafe next door, 2 local bars down the other end of the street and an amazing Gelateria (Gelato ice cream) that make the most AMAZING hot chocolate. Don’t let the proximity of the bars put you off, as soon as you close the doors to the apartment the rest of the world is completely shut out. You have access to the courtyard garden which as a cool little oasis in the heat.
I cannot emphasise enough how lovely this place is to stay. Margherita deserves to have her place booked out all year round and if your staying in Florence for any length of time, you deserve to stay here to.
