This centrally located classically Florentine apartment is frankly everything you could imagine! When we arrived we had the rush of "Oh my God - this is so beautiful" - and "look at the painted ceilings!!" Yes the ceilings are covered in detailed hand painted scenes - a kind of Trompe l'oeil overhead. The walls have a variety of sketches and drawings and there's even a shelf of small primitive sculptures if you need reminding, that you're in the city of Michelangelo and Botticelli. The space is large with sofas, natural light, a long tiled hallway and two bathrooms with a small but cozy garden nook at the back of the apartment for a morning tea, coffee and toast with the scent of night blooming jasmine in the air. This - along with a well-equipped kitchen, five star hotel towels, comfortable queen bed and a location so ideal the Four Season's have their villa hotel a half block away - which makes it easier to find cabs -- promises you will love your stay and feel like you're coming home each night. Plus the the owner Cristina and the apartment manager Giuseppe was a great help and always responsive to our calls. We had a wonderful time!! You will too!!!
