We travel to Florence frequently, and I only want to stay at Anna and Isabella’s beautiful home from now on. It’s situated perfectly in the midst of a lush, quiet and peaceful oasis, with the excitement of the city teeming just beyond the walled garden. The house itself is comfortable, spacious and elegantly-appointed. The large bathrooms and bedrooms provided more than enough space for our family and friends (four adults and one child), and the beds were very comfortable. (Oh, and the air conditioner and water pressure were both AMAZING, neither of which is necessarily a given when staying in Florence!)
You are no more than a five or ten-minute walk from all the major sites, but you’re also in one of the less-touristy, more distinctly old-school Florentine neighborhoods, surrounded by families who’ve lived there for generations. If you want to feel like you’re truly living in the city for a period, there’s no better place to stay. What’s more, Anna and Isabella could not have been warmer, more welcoming or more accommodating. They are fantastic hosts who communicate flawlessly and take obvious pride in the home and experience they provide for their guests.
We cannot wait to visit again and enjoy the relaxed, yet refined, environment they’ve created!
