“The hotel was unique with excellent service, set in a quiet residential area about 4-5 km from the centre. Our room was nicely decorated and silent, with a private bathroom, satellite TV, climate control, and an individual safe. Everything was perfect, including a breakfast that suited my taste. The location was near beautiful Florence, on a hill about a mile and a half from the centre.”
