Alfredo’s apartment in Florence is an amazing place to stay, and I would highly recommend it.
Check-in and out was very smooth, with good communication all the way. Maurizio kindly arranged a taxi for us when checking out which was much appreciated.
The tower is really beautiful, with ivy growing up the walls. It’s in a cool part of town that is busy and bustling, but once you’re in the apartment it’s surprisingly quiet. The views are great, particularly at sunset.
The layout is quirky, unsurprisingly for a 12th century tower, with a few low ceilings, and odd steps, but this just adds to the charm. There is a comfortable seating area and the bathroom has a very nice shower. The kitchen is small and basic but there are lots of good value cafes very close by.
4 Leoni is a very nice restaurant about three minutes from the apartment, and we had a superb meal at Trattori Gargani which is a little further.
It was our first visit to Florence and would definitely come back both to the city and to the apartment.
