I arrived jetlagged from the United States and with the workload and walking and learning new physical skills -- my body was getting a lot of tension. Davide helped me SO much. I must have emailed 5-6 people before arriving -- I knew I'd need a massage therapist while in Florence -- and Davide was very punctual, professional and clear. I love that he comes to you. After a day of walking, standing, drawing, painting and at the art gallery, last thing I wanted to do was walk to a massage studio. He came to me. As others have mentioned, Davide is very punctual, responsible, and kind. I must have gotten around 8 massages from him in my month here -- varying from 1.5 hours to 2 hours in length (I prefer longer massages). He was on time every time, he was consistent, very professional -- and, also, great massage! I was at a rented apartment so as a guy I was worried if it was going to be weird with another guy coming over to massage you. It shouldn't be but you know what I mean. I've had female massage therapists come give me professional massages before but never men. It was never awkward or anything like that. Davide was very professional, everything was perfect -- and great massages! I was having some muscle spasms in my upper back from tension, then had issues with my calves and hamstrings at other times, he was very accomodating and addressed those. I think I got three massages from Davide in my first week here. In the last week I needed only one. Davide was essential in helping my body to relax after a very intense day of learning new and very physical skill. He was the utmost professional -- reliable, polite, punctual and great massage therapists. He was an essential part of me learning new skills in Firenze, I thank him in helping me recover. He definitely is the most professional massage therapist in Florence plus a good man and genuine person! I will see him again when I return to Firenze in a few months and I recommend him highly.

By the time we arrived in Florence, I could not leave my Hotel (Orto de Medici) due to the pain. The hotel (10/10) contacted this service and Dr Smorlesi arrived quickly at my hotel room. He asked pertinent questions and (without imaging) assessed cervical spine issues. He wrote appropriate prescriptions and gave me a shot of cortisone in my hip. This rescued me! I had been very anxious about flying back to Seattle in so much discomfort but was able to do so comfortably. Dr Smorlesi was professional, respectful and approachable. His fee was more than reasonable at €180. This experience will be remembered as much as seeing The David!

His office was clean and professional. We're grateful for his help during a stressful time and recommend him to anyone in Firenze or beyond.

I was nervous about calling given I don't speak Italian but I shouldn't have been since several people spoke English. However since I went in person to make an appointment, I was pleasantly surprised they could fit me in fairly immediately. I had a wonderful deep tissue massage for an hour and I needed it! The facility is peaceful, warm and inviting and very clean. I saw some staff doing some one on one work-- perhaps yoga or Pilates? In one of the rooms. This seemed like a great spot for a variety of restorative services. Please note it's a tiny bit tricky to get there. If you come from the Piazza della Repubblica, once you pass from the piazza through the arch the location is very shortly thereafter on the right. You proceed down a hallway to an elevator and head up to the first floor. This same elevator takes you up to the lobby of an adjoining nice hotel but for at least a moment the hallway seems like a bit of a weird place to head down... just keep going! They did have a small sign outside noting that you'd need to go up one floor to get in. Highly recommended!

Mostly through non-verbal communication, I explained what I needed to the clerk, who had me sit on a short stool in a semi-private area. He came over with a compressive support brace for my ankle and let me try it on. It fit perfectly and really helped with the pain, so I wore it out of the pharmacy. I believe it was 14 euro. I can't comment on whether or not that's a good price for the product, but I can tell you that I wore that thing for the rest of my trip. Money well-spent, for sure. Thanks, Farmacia Brizio-Mazzei!

I was placed in a room with people screaming and talking all night long. They stitched my head up while lying in bed and poured a solution all over my head during the procedure. Doctors did not perform this. I didn't feel safe or clean during the surgery. The next morning when they thought my husband was returning, they quickly moved me to another semi-private room. Since I was an American I feel like they overlooked me. On several occasions I asked if I had a concussion and no one could give me an answer. Basically, I was to just lie there until they got around to me. They said the CT was fine. In addition, I should have been taken to Careggi University Hospital since they did not know the extent of my head wound.
