I couldn't think of a nicer place to stay in Florence. The neighborhood was accessible to everything - train station, duomo, Boboli gardens, hills, restaurants, etc. There were several small markets, artisans, a great cafe and brewery on the same street and it was just enough off the beaten track to give a taste of true life in Florence.

The apartment was a great place to come back to after a long day. The large, beautiful bedroom, very comfortable bed, lush garden and speedy wifi were all we could ask for. The kitchen and bathroom were small, but completely functional and comfortable.

The Vannetti's are avid gardeners and collectors of art and trinkets from around the world. They were very kind hosts and are warm people who we feel lucky to have met!

The only frustration was the few mosquitos that we let inside when we left the french doors to the garden open.
