The location of this villa could not be better! Right next to the Duomo with some views of the cupola and Giotto tower. Three retired gals from Florida spent a month here, touring Italy and of course, diving into Firenze. We trained to Pompeii/Sorrento/Amalfi/Capri, Siena, Venice, Cinque Terre and San Gimignano. Hiked in Cinque Terre and up to the Piazzale Michelangelo. We enjoyed wonderful meals and celebrations (at Trattoria Za-Za, Gilli's, Caffe Concerto Paszkowski, Mercato Centrale, and restaurants right on the same street as our villa), museums, wine tours, a cooking class with Walk-About Tours, opera and Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Marco was the best and most attentive host ever. Super responsive and truly a kind person. The villa has an old-Florence feel and met our needs...we especially loved the outdoor rooftop terrace. I lived in Florence for a year in 2015/16 and come back every few years. Would definitely stay here again when we have 3-4 folks to share this larger space. Kudos to Marco and everything Florence!
