“The guest house occupies a renovated 13th-century building, placing it squarely in Florence's historic heart, convenient to the Uffizi Gallery and other major sights. Rooms, while accessible by elevator after some initial steps, offer views of the bustling market square. I found the communal kitchen and its refreshments a particularly welcoming touch, as is the personalized dining advice from the staff.”
