Very recommendable address. Jacopo and his father Roberto Pandolfini are very pleasant, generous and cultivated people. It was always instructive and diverting to have a talk with Roberto, who was the contact person during my stay. For those, who are interested in architecture, palazzo Pondolfini is an ideal place to stay. The facade of the building with its alternation of round and triangular gables is is one of the few examples of roman Renaissance architecture of the 16th century in Florence. To get to your studio you pass a grand and elegant gateway and a vestibule, a former chapel, that is decorated with ancient busts. The studio itself is proper – it is cleaned once a week – and functionally furnished; from one of the windows you have a magnificent panoramic view of the historic center and the hillside around.
