We stayed at Alessio’s spacious apartment for two nights. It was just myself and my husband travelling to Florence, and we had more than enough space as this apartment is 2 bedrooms, plus a mezzanine with a double bed. The kitchen is compact, but ideal for us as we were not self catering, however this would not be a problem if you were planning on self catering. The road that the apartment is situated down is very quaint and offers a little bit of tranquility from hustle and bustle of the more touristy spots, we ate and drank in all of the eateries that were located a few steps away from the apartment, all of which were lovely. On our last evening we ate in Alessio’s family trattoria, which was sublime, the pasta dish I had was personally recommend to me by our waiter, and I was not disappointed, The tiramisu I had for dessert was the best I have tasted.
The location of the apartment is the real jewel in its crown, as it is perfectly located to all of the major sights, and shopping areas. The only drawback (for some) may be that the apartment is on the top floor, and would not be for the lighthearted, however the upside to this, is the views looking down onto the street. The apartment felt authentic offering a small insight to
the Florentine lifestyle.
