Our week in this beautiful apartment was amazing. The apartment is just as fabulous as the photos, in fact, even better! It is spacious, immaculate and very tastefully decorated. The linen is beautiful, and the beds were very comfy and a joy to fall into. We area family of 2 adults and 2 boys aged 12 and 15 . We were greated by Saverio, who gave us a lovely warm welcome and all the info we needed. Saverio also popped back when we had abit trouble with the heating, and all was reset with no problem.
Saverio was a fabulous host, and left tips for places to visit. We tested all the gelato places that he recommended, and he def has the best places on his list! Also, the pizzerias were delicious.
We loved the Santo Spirito area and found lots of great places to eat in the Piazza santo Spirito and in the area in the Oltrano. In fact, the location of the apartment is perfect. It is close to all that a visitor to Florence would want to see, and easy walking to the historic centre. But also , it is just out of the touristy part of Florence, nestled amongst artists shops and local trattorias, with lots of locals.
We did a bike tour around Florence, and a Segway tour. Both were with Italy segway tours and we highly recommend these as away of learning about Florence , and also seeing the city . Esp good to do at the beginning of a holiday. We also did the gelato and pizza making class with florencetown, which was great, and now back in Australia, we are churning out gelati and pizza for all our friends.

One of the highlights of the apartment is the view from the rooftop deck. It is a stunning view, and we spent New Years Eve at midnight on the rooftop deck watching the fireworks all over Florence. It was a wonderful way to welcome in 2015, and one we will never forget. Thank you Saverio and Cosimo. Your apartment is awesome, and we will def be back again one day.
