If we could give Alessandro 10 stars we would! We could ask for nothing more in a host - he was so wonderful to us. Alessandro picked us up from the the train station (even when we were quite late) and dropped us off at the end of our trip in his beautiful vintage car. First thing, he explained to us the bus routes and gave a historic tour of the city. He made sure we were comfortable always. The place was sparkling clean and very comfortable. The views were amazing. It was an oasis away from the busy days of exploring Florence. And bar vida was right next door and had great coffee. There are several restaurants also within walking distance and Alessandro provided a book with very helpful information. The bus system was very easy to navigate - only 20 minutes from the city.
We would stay here again to visit Florence but mostly to visit Alessandro, our new friend and family.
