We were sad to leave!

We spent 12 days at the Duchessa Sofia apartment owned by La Dimora Italia in Florence. The staff is amazing. They made themselves available to us via WhatsApp and email. Always responding quickly with guidance on a host of different questions. Everything about the amenities were spectacular. The apartment is within walking distance to all the historical hot spots and is surrounded by wonderful restaurants, artisans shops, and a lovely safe and walkable neighborhood. We look forward to returning again soon. The neighborhood street sounds get louder later in the evenings particularly on Thursday through Saturday nights. Maybe a white noise machine might be a nice addition for light sleepers.

Great place to stay while exploring Rome. Market, wine store and restaurants are close by. There is 1 full bath and a half bath. There is an elevator since the apt is on the 3rd floor. The Host is very friendly and willing to help wth whatever you need. Suggestions to make it perfect would be to add a microwave and a washer/dryer. Also, a heavier blanket in master bedroom would be nice. The terrace could use an umbrella for shade since it can get hot in the sun.Other than that, we had a great stay in Rome!

Thank you so much for writing in, we really hope you enjoyed your stay in our apartment in Florence, unfortunately it seems your comments do not refer to our Duchessa Sofia (2 bedrooms /2 bathrooms apartment with Washing machine and Dryer but without terrace). Wishing you all the very best from the team here in Florence and very much hope that we see you again.

Amazing!

My husband, our friend and I visited Venice, Cinque, Terra, Florence and Rome. We stayed in VRBOs City and this property was by far the clear winner by a mile! Location is perfectly central to so much – from museums to shopping. The apartment was nicely furnished with coffee maker, hot water, kettle, iron, and ironing board, and a major plus a unit that did washing and dry drying!

Exceeded every possible expectation

This apartment is absolutely stunning and the location could not be better. We walked everywhere, but were always happy to come home to such a delightful apartment. Very roomy, Fashionably decorated, with every possible kitchen need and outstanding linens. I have never stayed in a rental apartment that was a superb as this one. I cannot recommend any improvement

Our family of 4 had a wonderful 2 night stay. The apartment exceeeded our expectations. It was stocked with everything you might need, even a juicer! I was also very impressed with the level of service we had with restaurant suggestions, transfer help etc. so nice to have concierge service available. Communication was great. So happy I found this place and will definitely stay with them again. Thanks for taking such good care of us Azzurra️ Better sound proof window glass?

What an amazing place, exactly as the pictures, like from a magazine..

Everything is spotless clean, comfortable beds, every little detail is well thought and taken care. Washer AND dryer (very much needed). Small kitchen but has everything you need. Host is responsive (their office is at the ground floor on the same building) Right across the street is a very good pizza place, down the street is a good local restaurant. Nearby is one of the best gelato and the super famous sandwich place. Also nearby is a popular cafe with AMAZING croissants. Walkable everywhere in Florence.. the location is central and safe. Great stay!!
