Wow! If it were possible to give more than five stars, we absolutely would. Starting with the obvious, the historical value of the tower is only further appreciated in person. What a rare find and the perfect balance of history and modernism - it did not disappoint!
We were fortunate enough to work with Maurizio who was ready and waiting for us early in the day. Communication was excellent, guidebook was the perfect introduction, and there was even a bottle of wine waiting. Couldn’t ask for more, as he went truly above and beyond.
The view from the balcony is breathtaking and gives a great look into the square. Many people stopped to take pictures of the building.
The location was exception for visiting all of Florence on foot and separated enough for the plazas packed with tourists. Staying on the South side of the river allowed us to experience a quieter local scene while we were still able to walk to all of our excursions in the center of the city.
Lastly, a special note of hospitality to Maurizio for showing up to check us out before 7am and even calling us a taxi. Would recommend to anyone and will likely stay again! Thank you!
