Picaro Inn a little gem
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/12/07
The Picaro Inn was more than what we expected. We were a very young couple and the first of our age to stay at Picaro Inn. The owner is wonderful, he has such a great heart. He was a bit nervous about our age (19 years old) but he turned out to be great. Its very small: only two bedrooms with a shared bath. Our room was modernly designed. It was cleaned exceptionally well! Deep red colors! Very pretty design. A continental breakfast is served all day long! There is a frige in the hall that can be used by guests. Wood floor everywhere! Huge shutter windows! It is as if you are staying in an apartment. Noise was never a problem. The owner greets you daily and will answer any questions you need. There is wireless internet and cable TV. It is on the 3rd floor but directly below is a small cafe which is nice to have. The best location in the city!!!! 5 minutes to the Duomo, the Uffizi, directly across the street from Dante's house, lots of shopping and restaurants near by, 10 minutes and you are over the river, 7 minute cab to the train station (or you can walk but we had a lot of luggage), 10 minutes to the large market, 10 minutes to San Lorenzo! It was more than ideal! Always felt safe! We will be returning! Such a great place! A wonderful experience. Cannot wait to return!
