What we love about Chiara’s home is the attention to detail and the personal touches. There was a welcome basket of wine, oranges and madeleines, and her home was full of Christmas touches that made it even more welcoming.
Her home is true to what you see in the pictures, except it’s probably better in real life. Very clean, very modern and complete with a fully equipped kitchen (coffee and tea included) and ultra modern bathroom. My son fell in love with the loft, so we let him sleep there one night. The sofa bed sleeps 2 and the single bed under the stairs is super comfortable and cosy. We think the huge walk-in wardrobe under the loft is just a brilliant idea! Space saving, and perfect for hanging up our coats after a brisk day out in Florence (it also features a washer and dryer, which we gratefully used for our laundry)
Another thing we appreciated was that Chiara left detailed instructions on how to use everything, so we were never fumbling with buttons, knobs and switches. Location-wise, it’s literally next to Boboli’s Garden, which is lovely and a must see. The rest of Florence’s tourist attractions is a tad further but still reachable on foot, if you don’t mind walking. Otherwise there’s public transport or use Chiara’s 2 bicycles. All in, very good value for money, and highly recommended.
