The apartment is located in the oldest part of Florence, a few steps from the Duomo and Repubblica square.

( Florence's patron saint ). The Piazza del Duomo is a must see in Florence and a perfect start for a visit through the history and art of the vibrant city centre. The cathedral and its Brunelleschi's dome, the baptistery, the Giotto's bell tower and the Museo of The Opera del Duomo stand all in the square with their shiny polychromatic marbles and overwhelming architecture. The nearby Piazza della Repubblica, which was the Roman Forum of the old Florentia, is nowadays, with its 19th century look, the square of the oldest cafes of Florence such as Gilli Cafè founded in 1733. Within a 10 minutes walk you can reach the Accademia, home of the worldwide famous David by Michelangelo and the Uffizi Gallery which hosts the largest renaissance paintings' collection in the world.

Beautiful property, well maintained, and we highly recommend. Host met and explained the apartment and was very gracious. The apartment is well stocked with essentials as well as a lovely welcome basket. Location is wonderful being one block from the Duomo.
This house was in a great location next to all the designer shopping. We have no complaints at all. The hosts were great and easy to get in touch with. Very accommodating.

We spent 6 nights at the property. It was exactly as advertised. Communication with the hosts was excellent, the property was spotless and you cannot ask for a better location. Everything is a short walk away. I would highly recommend the property and will definitely stay again when we return to Florence.

Thank you Wayne.
It was a pleasure to have and your family in our flat.
We hope to host you again!
Grazie
We thoroughly enjoyed this spacious apartment. It had plenty of room for our family of four, was centrally located, and the host was both amazing and accessible.
This property is just down the street from the Duomo. The location was excellent! Communication was clear and the apartment is quite large. We loved it and will stay again when in Florence.
We came to Florence early for a family trip, needed a place to stay for just 2 nights and it was terrific - nice decor, great location and everything was perfect!
This apartment is beautiful, spacious and clean. We easily connected with our many scheduled tours since it is in a great location close to all the major sites. It was lovely to stroll the streets and to the nearby river in the morning and evening. Our hosts provided lots of helpful tips for exploring Florence.
I don’t really want to share how amazing this place is so that it is op e the next time I come to Florence. The apartment is immaculate. Exactly like the pictures but even more beautiful in person. It’s in the best location ever and Chiara and Valeria were helpful and were responsive. I can’t wait to go back!
We had a great stay in the apartment. Check in was easy and communication was good. The apartment was clean, well stocked, and spacious. Plenty of room for the four of us, and there would have been room for up to 8. It was stocked with coffee, pasta, and a bottle of wine. Close proximity to restaurants, the Duomo, and cafes. Would definitely stay again.
We loved our stay at this spacious home. Everything was perfect, especially the location. We were advised through the reviews that the evenings could be pretty noisy, but we didn’t realize it would be all night. Bringing a noise machine may be helpful.
Valeria and Chiara are wonderful hosts, very helpful, friendly, and responsive. The apartment is beautiful and spacious, easily large enough for two couples and more. The only drawback may be that it’s a bit noisy outside at night but that’s exactly what you’d expect being right in the middle of all the major sights. It’s within walking distance of all the major attractions. We would definitely stay here again if we make it back to Florence in the future.
Convenient location and comfortable accommodations
We loved our stay in Florence and the unit was so convenient in terms of being within walking distance of so many sites. We did not use any public or private transportation for our five night stay. We passed through the duomo and accompanying church site many times on our way to other areas. To other travelers, the double beds actually turned out to be king size beds by US standards which was a pleasant surprise. Unit was clean and well equipped.
I would highly recommend this property. The location is perfect. The Duomo is literally right around the corner from the building. Everything is within walking distance. The apartment was immaculately clean. The bathrooms & kitchen are modern & updated. The beds are comfortable; the water pressure is great. Check-in was a breeze. Valeria was incredibly helpful, giving restaurant recommendations & directions to a nearby market. She even dropped off extra trash bags!! I would definitely return to this property.
