Holiday rentals near Pitti Palace

The host was very helpful and the location of the property was great. The apartment was also great

We had the most wonderful stay at this charming property. In a fantastic location right next to Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens, we were welcomed to the apartment by the very warm property owner who gave us a thorough overview of the property. He was always contactable to help with requests and I was very impressed that he also attended when checking out and helping us get a taxi. We also received a small gift to remember our stay - so very sweet and thoughtful. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Florence for its charm, fantastic location and warm hospitality!

From our first moment finding Luca’s apartment, we fell in love with it. Located within a short walk of the Ponte Vecchio, the River Arno and handy shops, the apartment is fitted out superbly with old and contemporary mixed expertly together. The main bedroom in particular is wonderful, the beds comfortable and the bathrooms functional, clean and stylishly tiled/fitted. However, the absolute highlight has to be the terrace with small room, enough to seat 4, overlooking the street below and perfect for pre-dinner drinks watching the world go by or late night-caps after exploring beautiful Florence. We had worried that being so close to the centre of things might mean that noise was an issue but quite frankly, nothing disturbed our night’s sleep, as once the windows are shut any noise is dimmed down. This is an exceptional find and Luca a great host. We will be back.

A fabulous location, one street back from the Ponte Vecchio. The apartment is located in small arcade so there are secure gates at each end, which is good at night for security. The address is slightly obscure, our taxi driver, pointed into the arcade and said it is down there. However, the owner, Gianni, was on hand to greet us and let us into the apartment. Although tiny, it is really well equipped with 2 double beds with ensuite and a central kitchenette, laundry in a cupboard, lounge and dining table. Good use has been made of the space. High speed WIFI. Walking distance to all attractions and a 2 minute walk to the Arno River and Boboli Gardens. There are great restaurant options, especially around Santa Spirito. Gianni welcomed us to the apartment, he gave a tour offered instructions and he also showed us relevant locations on the map, and good restaurant recommendations. Gianni also stocked the fridge with water, soft drinks, beer and provided a welcome bottle of wine. I would definitely stay there again if visiting Firenze.

I can’t rate this apartment and host highly enough! I rented this because I needed a piano to practice during my stay, but it was all perfect! George (host) communicated with me before, sending me information about things to do while I was in Florence. My train was delayed and so I arrived late but George waited patiently for me to arrive and greeted me with a cool glass of water, showed me around, kindly leaving me with a bottle of vino to kick start my trip. The location was perfect, central to everything you want to see, cafe across the road for morning cappuccino, beautiful restaurant next door and supermarket just down the street. George is a great host, the apartment is stunning and well equipped, I would definitely book this again!
