Holiday rentals near Prato Cathedral

Francesco’s apartment was absolutely splendid! Not only, was it in the best area to stay in Florence (in my opinion), but it was also equipped for all your traveling needs. The apartment itself was spacious, clean and had a lovely kitchen/dining room. The location is steps away from Ponte Vecchio and various fabulous restaurants. I could not recommend this accommodation enough!

The apartment overlooking the Duomo was perfect

Amazing location and property, exactly as how you see it in the pictures. Roberta was responsive to any questions and was there to meet us on arrival to the apartment. Would definitely recommend this place

Perfect location! Excellent and informative host!

Our plan was to secure a well located and comfortable flat (apartment) in Florence and live there for three weeks. Unpack, settle in and come and go as we would if we lived there. This worked so well and we were delighted with our stay. In fact the flat was a highlight of the trip. So well located, stunning views of the Ponte Vecchio and the constant movement of happenings on the Arno River. As a family closely associated with the sport of rowing we were delighted in seeing so much activity with the rowing club opposite. The flat was perfectly arranged and all facilities were available . Comfortable, and tastefully furnished. The kitchenette was quite adequate and well provided with implements. The large double bed was superbly comfortable. We were hosted graciously, welcomed, and made to feel that assistance was always available. A lovely flat, superbly located with access to the old part of Florence. Restaurants close at hand as are the antiquities of the city.

I have stayed in Florence several times previously and always at a hotel. This time, thought we would try an apartment. Great choice. Pier is a great host and from the very beginning, communicates very proactively. Every question was answered in lightening speed. The apartment is large and well appointed. Separate bedroom, Lounge/Kitchen combined, timber floors, modern bathroom. Pier met us as soon as we stepped out of the taxi and helped us up with our luggage. He then spent time explaining every aspect of the apartment, WiFi, appliances, lightening, etc. The apartment is fantastically located, a short walk from anything, just down the street from the train station, about 10 minutes to the Duomo, from there, everything is 5 - 10 minutes. In the immediate area are a host of restaurants. There is a supermarket right next door. Compared to a hotel, it is about 25% of of the cost and twice the size of the room. It is so nice to have access to basic cooking and clothes washing facilities. I would highly recommend this apartment to visitors to Florence.
