I stayed at Maria's house during my Erasmus semester in Florence. Maria is a really warm-hearted gentle person. She really enjoys getting in touch with new people. I always felt at home. For me it was an incredible experience as I could learn more about the Italian way of life. The food was always fresh, healthy and unbelievable good (better than any Italian restaurant). My room was clean and gave me enough space and privacy to do my studies. If you go to Florence, don't miss the experience at Maria's house.

I really enjoyed my stay with Maria & Paolo! They were excellent hosts; kind, knowledgeable and funny. The food was absolutely delicious, the room was spacious, clean and cosy, they gave great advice about transport and places to discover and the whole family helped me improve my italian language :) It felt safe to stay with them, and I felt very much included. Highly recommended ☺️

Devo tornare!October 2014
Meine Zeit in Florenz bei Maria und Paolo war wundervoll. Aufgrund ihrer Herzlichkeit habe ich mich schnell wohl-und wie zu Hause gefühlt. Die Wohnung liegt nur wenige Minuten vom Zentrum entfernt und ist somit der ideale Ausgangspunkt für einen Aufenthalt in Florenz. Hervorzuheben sind die exzellenten Kochkünste von Maria und das tägliche Abendessen, bei dem zusammen gegessen, diskutiert und gelacht wird. Mamma Maria kümmert sich einfach um alles und steht einem immer mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Diese Gastfamilie ist wirklich ein Geheimtipp und ich kann sie jedem nur weiterempfehlen.

Muito melhor que hostels, hotéis e apartamentos da cidade, visto que o preço é acessível e te garante diversas coisas, como: boas acomodações, uma família acolhedora (que te ajudará com o que for preciso durante sua estadia), ótimas refeições (pratos típicos italianos e feitos da melhor forma possível), Wifi muito bom (importante para estudantes), e uma das melhores localizações em Florença!
O apartamento não fica muito longe do centro, o que facilita o acesso aos principais monumentos da cidade. E, de qualquer forma, existem pontos de ônibus na região que levam para o centro. Para aqueles que gostam de futebol, fica a duas quadras de distância do Stadio Artemio Franchi (Fiorentina).
Definitivamente a melhor guesthouse de Florença!!October 2014
Meinen fantastischen Aufenthalt in Florenz verdanke ich nicht zuletzt der wundervollen, freundlichen und humorvollen Atmosphäre bei Maria und Paolo. Beide waren stets hilfsbereit und standen einem mit Rat und Tat zur Seite.
Die Unterkunft befindet sich in einer sehr sicheren Gegend und kann als äußerst sauber bezeichnet werden - WLAN und einen Fernseher gibt's oben drauf. Zum Duomo benötigt man unter 30 Minuten. Wenn einem dies zu lang erscheint, kann man zu einer Bushaltestelle "hüpfen" und mit einem Bus (10, 11 oder 17) zeitnah im Zentrum landen.
Jeden Abend durfte ich Marias herausragendes Essen genießen. Darüber hinaus haben wir beim Abendessen unterhaltsame und spannende Gespräche geführt. Es war ein sehr familiäres Gefühl.
Wer nach Florenz kommt, sollte unbedingt bei "Mama Maria" und Paolo wohnen. Alles andere wäre Quatsch!

Ich habe eine wunderschöne Zeit in Florenz erlebt. Maria und Paolo sind super nett und sehr gastfreundlich. Maria kocht exzellent und beim Abendessen sitzen wir alle gemeinsam am Tisch und führen tolle Gespräche. Zur Stadtmitte (Dom) braucht man ungefähr 20-25 Minuten zu Fuß. Restaurants und Bars gibt es aber auch in der Nähe. Ich empfehle wärmstens die Gastfamilie.
J'ai passé un séjour vraiment très agréable à Florence. Maria et Paolo sont super gentils et très accueillants. Les plats préparés par Maria sont excellents et le soir nous nous retrouvons tous autour d'une grande table pour le repas. Encore une bonne occasion pour perfectionner son italien. Il faut environ 20-25 minutes à pieds pour se rendre au centre ville (cathédrale) . Mais il y a aussi des restaurants et bars dans les environs. Je vous recommande vivement cette famille d'acceuil
