Our hosts Marti and Fifi warmly welcomed us with a friendly smile, a thoughtful, welcoming package (including a lovely, hand picked bottle of wine, hand written note and other Florence goodies). Their informational guide included a description accompanying a map circled and hand written offering their best suggestions for enjoying our vacation, stay at the apartment as well as the historical points of interest within Florence. From the moment we corresponded I felt comfortable to ask for their recommendations and suggestions. Martino is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, his presence and energy gave you the feeling of someone you know, even though you just met. Last, but certainly not least, their beautiful terrace offers what has to be the most beautiful view of the City of Florence including exceptional sunsets.
