Recently my husband, Son and myself stayed in these Lodges for 1 week. We were in 'Boboli' Apt. This apt was absolutely spotless, a real 'home away from home' experience.Everything included in self contained unit, incl towels, soap, and linen. Ulrika was an amazing host. Always there to help. The Lodge is so centrally located to transport and walking distance into Centre. There is a beautiful common area out back which we took advantage of most afternoons, sharing some nibbles washed down by a few icy cold beers after a days outing in the high temp heat. And the air con was a real delight to come home to in such high temperatures this time of year. There are also local shops at the Porto Romano such as Pharmacy, deli, markets, bars etc... all right at your doorstep. There is a laundromat nearby, but be aware of scams for change. Get change at the market or local shops. Then in the evening we would either walk back into the Centre for dinner or have a casual stroll up to our Local Ristorante for some mouthwatering pasta and pizza washed down with Chianti. The lodge even has double glazed windows for those late nights drinking Spritzas, needing a sleep in with no noise around you. There is not one thing that I could possibly improve in this Lodge. If you are going to Firenz, I would highly recommend these Lodges to stay and I know you will not be disappointed. This was a special trip for us as it was the end of our holiday, joined by our Son whom we hadn't seen for 2 years and celebrating my birthday, staying here at this Lodge not only made it a memorable experience but one I will never forget. You would be mad if you looked any further than this Lodge for a Firenz experience. Thank you Ulrika....I will be back one day??
