We stayed for four nights at the lovely Liberty apartment. Maria Elisa’s home is centrally located in the heart of Firenze, by the Baptistery and the Duomo. Liberty apartment is a refuge/retreat for sure, especially on those hot Florentine days! The 6 of us had plenty of room. The beautiful shutters and windows throughout the apartment are magnificent, that, and you can also make the bedrooms exceptionally dark which is helpful for falling asleep quickly. If you are a Vincent Van Gogh fan, one of the bedrooms is decked out in his “Almond Blossoms” painting, with a glorious blue bedspread and matching pillows. The cute writing desk makes the room complete along with the lovely window dressing. We did not cook while at the apartment but easily could have with the excellent stovetop. If you have kids, there is a square about a block away from the apartment with an old fashioned carrousel and there is music every night. A number of great restaurants are also nearby as well as a bakery where you can get fresh croissants every morning if you want. The antique elevator in the building is also a treat and an experience. We enjoyed our stay and hope you do, too!
