Thank you for providing such wonderful service. Our stay was a dream and I am already entertaining thoughts about returning next year. Summers in Florence at "the Anna", I could get used to that.

The Anna Apartment was wonderful - it more than met our expectations. The view over the rooftops is breathtaking. The apartment is very tastefully designed and the space was so well organized if felt much large than anticipated from the photographs on the web site. The location could not have been better - close to all the Florentine sights and close to the heart of Santo Spirito - the crafts people in their workshops and everyday shopping - everything was so accessible. It was an oasis to come back to after being out all day. It is hard to believe that the apartment was a couple of minutes from the Pitti Palace and not a sound could be heard. The linens for the bed and towels were excellent - lots of hot water, the books and the music etc. We went to Rome and Cinque Terra - both of which are easily accessible by train (the train station in Florence was within walking distance). The trains in Italy are excellent and seem to be on time! Having stayed at apartments in USA and Europe .. this apartment is first class (ambience, comfort, privacy, cleaniness, nice bathroom with lots of hot water, comfortable bed and a view to die for). What more can you wish for ... A wonderful experience ... from the first connection with our greeter to our last moments - Francesca (the onsite greeter) even organized a taxi to airport - she was wonderful. I have no hesitation in recommending this apartment to anyone and would love to spend more time there in the future.

The apartment was lovely - perfect for us just as you had indicated. We have just come from renting a flat for a week in Paris and we thought we were very lucky until we arrived here. Someone has really put a lot of thought and love into this place.

The apartment was perfect. So beautifully furnished and had everything we could possibly need from rubberbands to light bulbs. We were amazed how such a small space could be so well organized and comfortable. Our main concerns when traveling in Europe are always the bed (comfort) and the bathrooms. Both were perfect. The balcony had a wonderful view especially in the evening. It was centrally located to everything and we found wonderful restaurants very nearby and some of our favorites were on our street. The only drawback was the many stairs as Gail broke her foot the day before we left for our trip. Even without a broken foot these were a challenge. We had a great stay and look forward to returning to Firenze! Thanks for your help.

I'm afraid that our trip to Firenze was not just great, it was absolutely charmed. It wasn't that we had a stunning view apartment overlooking a minor Brunelleschi dome and campanile complete with falcons and swifts and kestrels which I watched each evening as the crepuscular lightshow shifted languorously over the piazza in a stunningly perfect, quiet location in the ancient neighborhood of Santo Spirito, it wasn't just that we saw a zillion works of transcendent art, bathed in an omnipresent marvelous architectural ambience, landscapes and vistas, villas and gardens, plus many out of the way special places devoid of tourists and crowds, ate delicious local fish and vegetables and breads washed down with superb inexpensive Chiantis in our apartment, or that the full moon came up over said dome the first three nights we were there. No, it was that these stunning experiences would probably not have been possible without the charming repose AND the countless practical advantages inherent in the Anna apartment in the quiet, neighborhood oasis of Santo Spirito. The lovely, ever-changing vista from the balcony, the ancient ambience of the architecture inside and out, the tastefully chosen furniture and interior design of the space itself, the stimulating variety of books and CDs on the shelves plus the perfect re-modeling effort which was obviously done with both cultivation and aesthetic intelligence ––– all of these splendid elements conspired to produce an immediate and most welcoming feeling of "Home" each time we walked through the door. Many thanks again for your professionalism and kindness in making our stay so special.

Our Anna arrangements went off without a hitch, thank you. Our greeter, Elisa, was adorable -- very helpful and cheerful. The apartment was hot, but it was charming and we loved the location! Thank god for the fan! You all were very organized and we look forward to booking through you in the future.

We loved the Anna apartment. Outstanding location, cute as a button decor, and it was super well-stocked with information that helped the trip.

The apartment was wonderful, and we felt like we could have stayed forever. It was very comfortable. Having the books and CDs available was an added benefit that we hadn't expected. The books were a great reference to the area, to the Italian language, cookbooks. It seemed like we had everything we needed. The location was also great for us. All in all, it was a wonderful trip and we would love to stay there again in the future.
