Holiday rentals near Opera Teatro Auditorium al Duomo

Great location. Relatively quiet considering on a busy street. Host responsive. Great check in. Only problem was it wasn’t very suited to anyone with a suitcase. A few floors of narrow stairs to manoeuvre in wasn’t fun.

Our property stay was fantastic. The property has everything you need. Especially if you do not want to eat out every night. Salvatore meet us at the apartment, and his introduction to Florence was magnificent. He is right, every major attraction is within 10 to 15 minute walk. Perfect for us. Went out, came back and rested. Went out again. There is no lift, but after a few days the four flights of stairs were a breeze.

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.

Our second stay in this apartment was as enjoyable as our first. The apartment has brilliant views of Saint Maria Novella church and is ideally positioned to walk to all the major sights of Florence. It is the extraordinary hospitality of Chiara and her father Sergio that made our stay especially enjoyable. The apartment was equipped with everything we needed to feel at home, particularly the thoughtful extras such as the delicious biscuits and sweets left for us. The lift to the second floor is very useful to anyone who is travelling with big suitcases. With several very warm days we appreciated the air conditioning in the main room and also the bedroom. While the apartment overlooks the main piazza it is very quiet at night and the double glazing works wonderfully. The bed is very comfortable and there is plenty of storage for clothes etc. We are already planning a return visit.
