A note from Jo
I love this property. Florence is my favourite city in Italy. Ever since I fell in love with the film 'A room with a view' when I was a child, Florence has held a real magic for me. And this house really is the perfect base. It has a cosiness and charm to it that means you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. It also feels incredibly authentic allowing you to live like a local. And, whilst all the main sights and attractions can be reached on foot, when you retire at night, you're away from the hustle and bustle in a peaceful, quiet neighbourhood filled with locals.

The house and introduction to it was excellent. We had a great holiday in Florence, and the house & location was a key part to it. Thank you very much for having us.

We were delighted with the house, the decor was lovely and the house was even nicer than shown in the photos. It was a good 20/25 minute walk into the centre of town so a bit of a stretch to walk all the time but it was lovely to escape the crowds in the centre and retreat to a lovely accommodation. Our dealings with Jo in making our booking and with the owner on arrival was all very straight forward and we would happily use them again. The only downside was the mosquito’s in the house.
