Description
“It was pleasant to wake up in Florence, to open the eyes upon a bright bare room...to fling wide the windows...to lean out into sunshine with beautiful hills and trees and marble churches opposite, and, close below, Arno, gurgling against the embankment of the road.” âÂÂÂ?ÂÂÂ? E.M. Forster, A Room with a View

A NOTE FROM PATSY, AN ARTS & LETTERS GRANDMA, WHO SHARES HER HOME WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHEN SHE IS AWAY
"This apartment is my home, not an AirBnB. I invite my friends to use it when I am not there. Please leave at least some of the scotch. It was once part of the convent of the Carmine church where the Masaccios are and has been recently renovated. My bed is large and comfortable and the bed in my study is a pull-out from IKEA. Unlike many streets in Florence via della Chiesa is quiet. You should sleep OK."
Special Instructions
The apartment is generally available mid-November through late December, and June-August.
