Fabulous Traditional Old House in Superb Location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this house.
It is set over 4 floors, so you need to be OK with steps.
All 4 bedrooms were spacious and had a small but practical en-suite shower room. Bed 4 is on the top floor and there are steps down to the bathroom which is not ideal for a midnight 'visit', but one just needs to be careful.
We had the rooms made up as doubles but some of them can be twins.
There is a cosy lounge area but we spent most of our time on the enclosed terrace which is bright and airy.
There is a small but well equipped kitchen, with everything you need including a Nespresso machine.
Cris, the owner, speaks (and writes) excellent english and she could not have been more helpful and hospitable. She was always available on Whatsapp and went out of her way to make our stay extremely comfortable and enjoyable. She is a star.
The location is superb, being along a narrow side street just 30 yards from the Basilica Di Santa Croce, one of the big attractions of Florence. There are numerous bars and restaurants within a 2 minute walk but they cannot be heard from the house. The Ponte Vecchio and Uffizi Museum area are an easy 10 minute walk through the cobbled streets. The Florence Cathedral is about 20 minutes away. Lot's of other things are also within easy walking distance.
All in all, I have no hesitation in recommending this property. Thanks again Cris.
