Location is everything until bedtime.
From the train station it’s an easy 5 minute walk. Want to visit the Duomo? A five minute walk. How about Michelangelo’s statue of David? Five minute walk up the same street.
One of the great aspects of ancient cities is the walkability. Valentina’s was perfectly located for me.
My bed was oh so comfortable, the room looked like a writer’s Garett with a brick wall, beamed and brick ceiling, and a private bath with excellent water pressure. Charming.
To qualify this review, I’m a 68 year man traveling solo. I lived 30 years downtown Chicago and come from a large family so noise doesn’t bother me. There are other apartments, an opportunity to meet fellow travelers, and you are subject to those arriving after you’ve gone to bed or leaving before you’re up. After 11:00 until 7:30 it’s peaceful and quiet.
Big kitchen withseveral cafe tables and chairs, a full size oven and stove top, a large refrigerator, loads of complimentary tea and coffee options, and massive bowls of candy for the sweet tooth.
I will attempt to book with Valentina again when I return to beautiful Firenze.
