The Tuscany region

A week in Florence may include one or two excursions to historical cities like Siena (by coach), Pisa, Lucca and Arezzo (by rail). Other towns and villages like San Gimignano as well as all the Chianti area are reachable by car. There is a car-rental (Maggiore) an hundred meters distance from the apartment.

Florence / Central Florence area

The most of tourists coming to Florence underestimate the artistic and historical capital of Florence and come back saying "so many things in too short time".
There are some milestones as Galleria degli Uffizi and Accademia, Duomo Cathedral. Other pearls like Santa Croce Cathedral (1100 dc, very close to the apartment), Palazzo Pitti and the famous Boboli garden, Piazzale Michelangelo with its splendid view on Florence (easily reachable on foot from the apartment), the Etrurian museum, Medici Chapel, Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio. The list would be long.
After a walking and visiting day enjoy the comfort of the apartment and its full equipped kitchen in its quiet area or take a walk to the lovely restaurants and taverne in the surrounding, take an icecream from the famous Vivoli, and taste some good wines in local bars and pubs.
Try to find the time to go up Fiesole, Etrurian town founded before Florence and mastering the city from the top of the nearby hill, with its roman theatre and San Francesco church.

Guestbook for Il Cotto

Gillian G. – London UK- June 2000
It is a nice apartment in the historical centre. It is very relaxing to see the stars through the window on the top of the roof while resting on the bed. I appreciated a lot the cleaning and the local taste for the interior design. I would like to return soon and again feel the quiet of this place and the historical neighborhood.

Estelle M. – Miami USA- July 2000
Thank you for the lovely weeks spent in Florence and in your apartment. It is small but has every thing you need to have a comfortable and quiet stay in the historical centre.

Jacques B. – Aix En Province FR- August 2000
Thank you for these lovely days spent here. You are very lucky to live in this city and to have this apartment.

Sally and James - New Mexico - October 2001
We really enjoyed our stay here. The street and the apartment are a marvelous place! We will miss our "home" in Florence. This truly became our neighbohood and home.

Nancy – New Hampshire – February 2003
Thank you so much for your apartment, it is lovely, perfectly located, well appointed and easy to mantain. Absolutely perfect for us and our stay in Florence which has turned out to be even better than we had anticipated.

Elizabeth and John – San Francisco – October 2003
You have a perfect place for anyone who does not want to drive, as every important historical place is within walking distance. The apartment met our initial expectations. We went away frequently for day trips and took three day weekend to Cinque Terre. We went to Lucca, Orvieto, Pisa, Viareggio and Venice. It was so easy to get to anywhere from railway station which was close to your apartment. Thank you for every thing.
