Our Philosophy

We started in 2001 and we’ve grown thanks to our guests, thanks to their advice, their suggestions and their criticisms. The appreciation shown by our clients, the numerous reviews on various on-line portals dedicated to tourism, like Tripadvisor, Venere, Fodor’s, Frommers and others, have urged us to continuously improve our service.

Some guests have become friends, and we got to know entire families who visited us – first the parents, then their children on honeymoons, then the children of their children…Many guests exchange emails with us during the year to find out how things are going, or just to say hello, while others send postcards, small gifts, photos…

Our idea of work is based on a spontaneous encounter. Besides offering clients all the information necessary to permit them an excellent Fiorentine experience, (maps, museums, restaurants, small and intimate places only know to Florentines), we try to help them become independent so that they become the main focus of their vacation, striving to encourage personal initiative geared towards discovering Florence and its surroundings.

Every guest has the keys to the building in which they are staying because we are convinced that they must feel at home. We try to be available for most of the day, even when our work load is intense, and in addition to our own work, we also have philosophical and literary committments – we write and partecipate in conferences and cultural events. We’ve had long conversations with guests involved in the same fields of study and new and interesting ideas have been brought forth. For this reason too, we rely on the valuable collaboration of Camilla, who with grace and efficiency has been working with us since 2007, taking care of every aspect relating to the daily care of our guests.

We believe in our work and do everything so that the people sleeping in our rooms remember us and our city with happy nostalgia.
