Our stay at the Residenza Vespucci was FANTASTIC! The room was very spacious for our family of three and the view from the balcony over the Arno was spectacular. Francesco, the owner, was a lovely host, and Adrienne, his assistant, was a great help answering all of our questions (not mention making an incredible limoncello spritz, served free in the early evenings!). And Lappo, Francesco's sweet pup, was the icing on the cake.
The location was perfect for our first visit to Florence. It is pretty central, so everything was a close walk, but it was in a quiet area at night, so we could rest easily. The cafe on the street is excellent and the owners (a young couple and a brother) were extremely welcoming and friendly, too!
All told, it was the perfect place to stay in Florence, and we couldn't have asked for better!
