Paolo and his team
Paolo and Carlotta's Home is cosy and quiet and enjoys a great location: just 5-10 minutes walk from Santa Maria Novella Station, well served by public transport (bus and tramway a few steps away) and also easily accessible by car, with garage nearby at extra charge. All the city's highlights, such as monuments, museums and churches, are within easy walking distance, whilst the Fortezza da Basso Exhibition Centre is literally just around the corner.
Paolo and Carlotta, who speak various languages and have worked in tourism for a long time, are at guests' disposal, both on arrival and during their stay via mobile phone or by appointment, to provide them with any assistance, suggestions on visits, restaurants, tours and excursions, shopping or just various tips they may need. We look forward to meeting and welcoming you !!
Paolo and Carlotta's home's strong point lies in its location, right at the meeting point of the old town centre and Florence Ring Road avenues, in a very quiet street, halfway between two beautiful tree-lined parks (Piazza Indipendenza Square and Fortezza da Basso), where one can enjoy some relaxing time or a little stroll, maybe after a long day spent in visiting museums. At the same time, just a few minutes away you will find several restaurants and pizzerias, as well as pubs and bars to enjoy a drink and/or some nightlife, to make the most of the Florentine experience. Even the Central Market, with its vast food and wine selection to choose from, is close by.
