Margherita is such a wonderful host- we have nothing but good things to say about both her and her palace. The palace itself is absolutely gorgeous and the history she provides upon introductions made the experience that much more enjoyable. Margherita is such a warm and lovely person, and made us feel right at home (which is very special when you're in a new country for the first time!). Her husband also wrote a very informative packet that gives some history as to the landscape and other details about Florence that was very interesting to read, and I felt it was a very sweet touch to provide us with such detailed information. The location is also perfect and I do not believe we could have picked a better place. Also, with the heat being intense this time of year, the air conditioner was super important to our comfort and thank goodness it worked very well! I could go on and on about how much fun we had- stay with Margherita if you can, you'll be very happy you did :)
