Words can’t begin to explain how wonderful of an experience my family had in this beautiful home. Tom is an amazing host and person. On my birthday, Tom went out of his way to leave his favorite snacks at the door for me. My expectations were exceeded beyond belief. We spent all of the time we could enjoying the gorgeous garden and serene home. It was hard to leave! Would not hesitate to book again.

Perfect but suitable only if you are ok with stairs

If you are ok with stairs (four flights of stairs to get from street into the apartment), you need to stop looking and book immediately - it is the perfect stay.The apartment is beautiful and exactly as shown - in a residential location just outside of the busy/noisy downtown, but only a 10min walk to downtown and a mere 2 min walk to Piazzale Michelangelo.The host (Tom) is even better than the already ideal place - he goes out of his way to help and pamper you but is not overbearing - just ideal.Don't overthink it - just book - highly recommend.

Wow! We absolutely loved this very spacious, clean and modern apartment in Florence. The rooftop garden is truly special. Our host, Tommaso was exactly as you read in all the reviews. Super welcoming, responsive and helpful along the way. In a pinch, he helped us line up travel to Cinque Terre because the train workers happened to be on strike that day. Walk to everything Florence from this spot. Can't recommend this apartment enough if you want an authentic Florence getaway.

Loved our stay! Apartment is far enough to be quiet but walking distance to the excitement. The apartment is meticulous. The garden is just perfect for coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. The bedrooms have very good air conditioning. The jewel of staying at this place, however, is the owner, tom. Tom is extremely passionate about having guests at his family home and it is clear from the get-go. He communicates frequently and makes sure that you have everything you need. He has done an amazing job making the apartment user friendly for guests including videos how to operate the appliances. Make sure to book a pasta making class with Gloria - Tom will assist!

Absolutely loved everything, beautiful, spacious, really made our stay in Florence. Amazing owner!

We loved everything about our stay in Florence. Tommaso’s house is absolutely beautiful, spacious, and clean - with incredible art throughout and an outdoor garden to relax. Tommaso was such a wonderful host - he recommended restaurants and helped us make reservations, left us wine, gave us free tickets to a museum, and was very flexible for our arrival and departure times. Our stay here was the best of our trip to Italy and made our visit to Florence our favorite of our trip. The location requires some walking (like everywhere in Italy) but nothing too far. It’s within about a mile walk of most sites. Highly recommend Tommaso’s house.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE

First off, while the photos are great they do NOT do justice to this place. It is incredible in every way. We stayed with our daughter and her firmed and it was perfect. A 10-25 minute walk EVERYWHERE you would want to go.The home has all you need to start off on the right foot. Our host was OUTSTANDING. Best check-in/out experience and very accessible via WhatsApp.All the suggestions for dinners/sites were helpful.Hands down the inside was perfect but the OUTSIDE gardens were remarkable.Every morning we had our coffee there smelling the amazing floral scents from the terrace and listening to the birds.peaceful for sure. It was like being transported to another world/time.We WILL be coming back here.The Bardini gardens are down the street and the beautiful lookout fromPiazalle Michaelangelo is maybe 500 feet away. Do not skip these lesser known close treats of outdoor beauty. Thank you so much.

Our family had a WONDERFUL time staying at this apartment. It is exactly as described, very clean, very beautiful, a great location within Florence, and the sweetest, most dedicated hosts we have ever met! If you need anything while staying here, Tommaso and his family are here to help! They helped us book transportation, restaurants, and private tours as needed, and provided a wealth of information about the surrounding area. You will not be disappointed with your stay. Not only did we build lasting memories of Italy, but we met new friends along the way. Thank you Tommaso and Family!!!!

Absolutely Perfect Florence Stay

I cannot say enough good things about this apartment and Tommaso, the host. He greeted us when we arrived and meet us to say goodbye. The space was perfect for 3. Well appointed kitchen. And the gem of the property is the outdoor garden. Walking distance to many nice restaurants or to the main section of the city. There is also a bus stop within 1 block. One of the best VRBO stays I've ever experienced.

Perfect host to the perfect apartment

Our family had travel a lot over the years with VRBO and the other sites. Tommas was by far the best host we have had. From meeting us at his perfect apartment to checking in via WhatsApp during our stay. He even booked us a car to the train station on our last day. The apartment is very well appointed and very comfortable. You are walking distance to everything you need, restaurants grocery store and all the sites of Florence. If you are considering Florence, book this place you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful property; Excellent host!

This property is located just outside of the tourist-filled parts of Florence, but within walking distance of anything you will want to see. It has good restaurants right nearby, for a quick cappuccino in the morning, a quiet drink before turning in, or an easy meal if you dont want to go downtown.As you walk up to the first door to the apartment, you cannot imagine the beauty that awaits a couple floors up. Once you arrive at the apartment and see the well furnished and beautifully decorated rooms, you will make your way to the back where the garden awaits. Here you have your own private garden which is enclosed by the old city wall of ancient Florence. Tom has taken great care to make this private garden one of your favorite places to be in Florence.The apartment itself is only surpassed by the hospitality and availability of the host. He was not only responsive to our questions, he was proactive in getting us all the information we would need to make our time in Florence as easy as could be. He met us at the door to make sure we got in without any hindrances, showed us how to work the appliances, and was there when we left to see us off. He is, by far, the best host we have ever had.To sum up this review; definitely recommend! And if we have the opportunity to return, this will be where we stay again.

Fantastic Home in Florence

We booked this on short notice when we decided to visit Florence. Tommaso is an excellent host who provided many recommendations for places to visit and where to eat. The apartment is the best short term rental I have ever stayed in. Its very well decorated, centrally located and the garden area is beautiful, literally an oasis in the middle of the city. I can't recommend this property highly enough. I'm already planning a return trip for a longer stay. Thanks Tommaso, you were great help during our stay

Beautiful Apartment on Quiet Street

We loved our stay in this beautiful apartment! The kind VRBO owner, Tom met us to help us with our bags and show us around the apartment. The wall art in the apartment is amazing! And the space was perfect for our family of 5. My daughter even said the futon was super comfortable. The large garden is a treat. The neighborhood was much quieter than most and there were a handful of cafes just down the street. Walking to the historical center was pretty quick and enjoyable. Tom also gave us recommendations for drivers, dining, things to do, etc. Overall, we loved our stay and would recommend this lovely apartment!

Perfect home away from home in Florence

The best experience we have ever had with a vacation rental! I am very picky so I do not say that lightly! Tomasso, the Host, truly wants you to feel like you're a guest in his home! We were two couples traveling together and felt like we each had our privacy. The apartment was spacious and beautifully designed. Everything was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. He also provided detailed instructions and videos on how things worked. The garden was lovely and the perfect place to have a glass of wine after sightseeing all day! We also loved the area! The Oltrarno "the other side of the Arno" is the quieter side of the city but still very close to the city center, and has many restaurants and beautiful areas. We really enjoyed our stay and meeting Tomasso! He was kind, helpful, and responsive, before, during, and after our stay! We look forward to returning someday!

Awesome Family Vacation

Our family of four, ( 2 parents, 2 teenagers), spent three nights in this really wonderful home. Our stay mirrored what everyone else has been saying about their stays here. The communication with Tommaso began before we arrived and continued throughout our stay. He enthusiastically greeted us and gave us a thorough tour of his family home and made us feel like we were now part of his family. He was always just a text away from us with answers to questions and recommendations about his city. Absolutely the perfect host! The home, as has been said in previous reviews, was immaculately clean, wonderfully furnished, and just the right size for a family. The bedrooms were very comfortable with their own, individual air conditioners and bathrooms which was perfect. The garden area was very beautiful and peaceful for a quiet morning coffee! An added bonus for a traveling family was the washer and dryer that we definitely put to use when we had time. We enjoyed the location as well. It was walking distance to shopping, sightseeing, and dining. It didn’t take long to get know our way around the neighborhood! Tommaso went to great lengths to make our stay enjoyable, including arranging for a taxi and personally coming to see us off when it came time to leave. He is the most gracious, friendly host you could find! Our only regret is that we could not stay longer! Thank you Tommaso!!

Wonderful oasis in Oltrarno, Florence

We feel so lucky to have stayed all too briefly at Tomasso's gorgeous home in Florence for 2 nights! The place combines history, authenticity and location with modern comfort and convenience as well as beauty. The apartment is spacious, the beds very comfortable, the bathrooms are lovely, and the kitchen has everything. And then there is the garden, which is a jewel. It is the perfect place to relax before or after a day of exploring. Everything in Tomasso's home has clearly been chosen with care and impeccable taste. A couple of notes: the stairs to the master bedroom are quite steep, so may not be suited to little ones. The upstairs bedroom is loft style, so open to the living room below but still feels quite private. One of our children slept on the fold out futon just outside the downstairs bedroom. He said it was super comfortable. Tomasso was the consummate host and helped us with anything we might have needed help with as well as things we didn't realize we could use help with. He was super responsive before, during and after our stay, arranged parking for our car in a nearby garage, insisted on taking our luggage up the stairs, and booked a table for our dinner on the evening of our arrival and a lovely restaurant down the street. We could not have asked for better hospitality or a lovelier place to stay during our visit to Florence!

A Great Place to Stay in Florence

This apartment was perfect for us (five days). Best VRBO we have stayed in throughout our travels. Family of five (three teenagers who all had plenty of their own space). Quiet street with good options for food right down the street and quick walk across the Arno into the center of town. Exactly as you see in the pictures. Apartment was very clean, spacious, comfortable and tastefully appointed. Garden - great to relax in. Washer/dryer - extremely convenient. Pick this place when you decide to visit Florence. You won’t be second guessing and wondering why you did, like we all do when we book VRBO’s that don’t look or feel anything like the pictures and reviews you read. Tommaso – what can I say? Wish all hosts were like him. If I only had half the energy he has and exudes. His love of Florence and his home is obvious from the moment you meet him. He met us when we showed up earlier than the check-in time and was kind enough to help us with our bags and also allowed us to leave our bags while the apartment was still being cleaned. He walked us through his home and let us know everything we would need to know to make our stay enjoyable. When we had questions on things to do, he was helpful in providing great recommendations. He also helped set up transportation when we decided to do a beach day and he even made reservations at restaurants he thought we would enjoy. Always available and quickly responded when we reached out with any questions. Perfect home and host.

Wonderful experience in Florence

We had the pleasure of spending five nights at this apartment in the San Niccolo neighborhood south of the Arno River. We have used VRBO many times for lodging abroad and this apartment and experience was easily the best we've had in all of our travels.The apartment was beautiful and spacious, easily accommodating the four adults in our party. It was impeccably maintained and the layout easily allowed for privacy for the two couples in our group. The outdoor space was gorgeous and large, hard to believe considering how centrally located the apartment is.The back of the outdoor space is literally the wall built in the 15th century that encircled the city. Everything about the apartment was more than we ever hoped for. As amazing as the apartment is, even more remarkable is the owner of the property, Tommaso. He could not have been kinder or more generous. He was there as expected when we arrived and offered his assistance throughout our stay. He arranged our transportation to the airport for our departure, assisted us with making a dinner reservation, and even took note of the birthday of one of the people in our group and unexpectedly delivered a bottle of wine to celebrate her day. Every text I sent to him was responded to immediately. He was the absolute best and we all consider meeting and interacting with him to be one of the highlights of our trip.Thanks for everything Tommaso!
