Holiday rentals near Galileo Museum - Institute and Museum of the History of Science

The apartment is spacious, well appointed, comfortable and with excellent air conditioning. The views are simply stunning, but this does come at a cost - it is up a steep hill and with several stairs. Beware of the lock on the front door. Just pull the door shut, don't key lock it. This may result in a broken key for which you will be charged.

We are a family of 2 adults and 3 kids (17,15.11) and we all adored our stay at this property. We had a double bed in one room and the kids were in 3 x singles in the other room with their own ensuite. Separate lounge area was perfect to chill out in. Checkin was simple and owner was easy to communicate with and highly responsive. Highly recommend as also great location.

We loved this apartment. Five of us stayed including 1 baby. Simona was so accommodating and fantastic before and during out stay in Florence. We loved the ammenities and location, just a stone throw from lots of attractions, food, gelato!

It's true. This is a magical terrace, where it is difficult to drag your self away from even though magical Florence awaits just downstairs. Fantastic from start to finish. Excellent communication with Marusca. Love her energy and passion.Everything you could need is there. Apartment close to everything for easy walking and major supermarket 2 mins walk from apartment. Will definately stay again. Thank you Marusca.

Just wonderful

What a wonderful experience. The location is extraordinary but to focus solely on the location is selling this apartment short. The presentation of the apartment in this 16th century building was everything we had hoped for. The host, Lorenzo, was so welcoming and generous, nothing was too much trouble. A bottle of wine on arrival, so beautifully presented, was the perfect start to our stay. A lift meant we didn’t have to lug our suitcases up multiple flights of stairs. And then there is the location! Beware though, being opposite Florence’s famous leather market might result in some damage to your wallet! Thank you Lorenzo for a truely memorable stay.

Fantastic position. Agent waited for us even though we were 28 hours late due to flight cancellations.

This is a special apartment directly overlooking the Arno at the Ponte Vecchio. We loved to sit and watch the sunset over the buildings and bridges from the large picture window. This is hands down our most favourite area to stay; right in the action yet without any street noise except the distant pleasant chiming of the Basiica bells. Every comfort available for a short or long stay, from a welcome and not-to-common lift to a well equiped kitchenette, including generously supplied paper towels and coffee, tea and condiments for cooking. All spotlessly clean with comfortable beds and a washing machine! Marusca and Alberto were very communicative to queries and so welcoming, kind and knowledgeable for all the nuances of Florentine culture. Suggestions of awesome restaurants and where to get the best groceries was fantastic info and made us feel like locals. We can’t wait to stay again. Needless to say we loved it.
