“This is a charming, family-run place, with a real sense of Florentine history apparent in its architecture; its location on a quiet residential street puts you close to attractions like the Uffizi Gallery, yet still offers a peaceful escape. With its comfortable, well-appointed rooms and a lovely courtyard for breakfast, it's a place where you can book local tours and even arrange babysitting-thoughtful touches I appreciate.”
