I had a fantastic two and a half month stay at Chiara’s lovely apartment in the Oltrarno! Chiara is an attentive and very kind host, and her apartment is exceptionally clean, well appointed and full of many thoughtful touches. It is very modern, but also feels very homey. It’s very well equipped for a long term stay. Key for me was how comfortable the beds are, the great appliances in the kitchen, and the bathroom was amazing with a fantastic shower!
There’s quite a climb up to the apartment, but once there you’re treated to a bird’s eye view of the charming villas in the hills above Florence.
Finally, Chiara’s place is in a historic neighborhood that has great restaurants and shops. It’s an easy 20 minute walk across the Arno to the heart of the historic center.
I really can’t say enough about it and I plan to stay again on my next work trip to Florence!
