"I was naturally attracted to Casa Schlatter when I discovered that Alessander's grandfather was an artist and this had been his home. His artwork adorned the walls. He was an iron worker and he made a remarkable bust of himself that is the corner stone of the entrance way. When you enter the reception room after walking under a canopy of wyisteria you stand before a breath taking scene of Florence that he painted in the 1800's. It must have been 10 by 20 feet. It is magnificent. The Casa is a ten minute walk from the center of town. The rooms that are available are beautifully decorated and comfortable. I felt embraced with charm and good will. Alessander gave us great recommendations for eateries and Gelato!!!! She baked us the best croissants I have ever had and our morning meals were delicious. Our stay was belissimo!!!!!"
