“I appreciated the period details, especially the ceilings and rich, antique furnishings; the location near Porta Romana places you slightly outside the tourist crush, with easy bus access when needed. The owners strike a perfect balance of attentiveness and discretion, and the overall effect is that of a very stylish home away from home. A solid pick for travelers seeking genuine Florentine character.”
