Client Comments
"It was amazing. I loved the location in the old city, the views of the Tuscan Hills from our huge windows were gorgeous. Everything about the apartment was perfect for us. My contact person there, Francesca, was very gracious and so helpful to me in dealing with Baggage Claim in Florence."
