The room was very centralized in the city, very close walking distance to many of the historical sites and shopping. A slight problem at first but the host took care of it immediately for a wonderful stay. Highly recommend it.

While staying here, you get a chance to live in the piece of history that's dating back to medieval times. The property is part of the Donati Tower and they say that the wife of Dante Alligeri was born here. The private garden with the beautiful Sphinx statue was just magical. Central location, close to arrival at the station and the center of it all. The hosts are very nice people and a pleasure to communicate with. They prepared the bottle of champagne as well as fresh fruits from the local market for our arrival. Mrs ruling 10 of 10 stars!

Fun in Florence

Quaint small apartment, excellent hosts,and location to get around Florence A few suggested additions would be a wardrobe closet to hang some clothes, jackets, and put away some clothing so not living out of suitcase A coffee station would be nice to have to enjoy the patio since we are not tea drinkersAnd 2 small end tables would be nice Overall great stay

We highly recommend this property. The property owners were great and helped us identify some of the best places to see and eat. The location is private, yet in the heart of the city. We will be staying here again on future visits!

Wonderful accommodations in Florence

Hosts Antonella and Stefano were so gracious and provided a great experience for my 5-day visit to Florence. Their suggestions for museums, restaurants, and neighborhood walks were very helpful. The studio apartment was lovely and very comfortable, and the garden was a relaxing environment to take a break from exploring the city. I hope to stay there again when I visit Florence in the future.

This was the perfect peaceful oasis in the midst of the chaos of Florence! Clean comfortable, and most important was the privacy of having our own little garden! You have been the most gracious hosts and I highly recommend to anyone staying in Florence!
