Our visit to Firenze was magical primarily because we were right in the center of activities - where Donatella ' s property was - Piazza Signoria. It had everything we needed and had the best bed I ever slept in outside my home. The verandah outside the living room was a bonus and from there we experienced the activities at the Piazza. Music from a flutist wafted through the air for two nights and a concert regaled us on our last evening. Donatella was a gracious host and met us right outside her building. She also was kind enough to assist us with the bags as there were a few steps that we had to negotiate before we reached the lift. We tried three of the restaurants in her recommended list and all of them were great! Her refrigerator had bottles of water for the three of us plus other things which was very thoughtful of Donatella. I'd go back there again.
