We loved staying in Arianna’s apartment. Arianna met us on our arrival and shared with us some of her favorites places in the neighborhood. A bottle of prosecco was waiting in the refrigerator and it only got better from there. We had almost every breakfast and dinner on our wonderful terrace as well as enjoying a glass of wine after returning from sightseeing. The terrace overlooks the market we visited daily to stock up on olives, cheese, veggies, biscotti, and the fantastic fresh pesto (why can’t they make it like that at home?). Wine was provided by a great enoteca only half a block away. Even though there is a lively street scene at night you cannot hear a thing from the quiet bedroom. Arianna was even nice enough to arrange a wine tour for us to the Chianti region. As mentioned there are four flights of stairs to deal with but we used this as justification for enjoying more pasta. We will absolutely stay here again on our next trip to Florence.
