5.0
Il Dragone is really all about the location. It’s on a beautiful winding alleyway that feels secluded, yet it’s actually only a couple of minutes from the Ponte Vecchio. Of course, that does mean that you need to keep an eye out for the tourist traps, but there are plenty of excellent places to eat nearby – just ask your host, Valerio. The flat itself is perfectly comfortable, and while the design isn’t especially eye-catching, the neutral shades help to create a calm atmosphere.
