Large apartment with all facilities you need in fantastic location

This apartment is right in the heart of Florence. Just off the corner of the Piazza della Signoria and a short walk to the Ponte Vecchio. You cannot get a better location. The apartment is well appointed and a good size. It is clean and everyday items like comdiments and washing detergents are all provided. It’s what you need when you are travelling. Elizabetta was also charming. Highly recommended.

Lovely apartment in a fabulous location

My husband and I have just returned to Australia from our overseas holiday. We stayed in this apartment for 5 nights and enjoyed it very much. The apartment is very quiet, clean and attractive and the bed very comfortable. The apartment was well appointed and in a fantastic location especially if you are visiting the Uffizi Gallery which is just around the corner. The owner, Elisabetta, was very welcoming and helpful from our first contact with her. We highly recommend this apartment.

An excellent property - great location, well maintained and a lovely host

Elisabetta was excellent with communication prior to the trip and during our stay. She was there to welcome us to the property and show us around. The apartment is in an excellent location - central to everything. It's a well maintained property and plenty of space for a family of four. The WIFI is excellent and the provisions in the apartment are more than adequate. We would highly recommend this property to potential guests and will certainly be looking to book this property again, if coming back to Florence. PS - we would highly recommend Mangia Pizza, around the corner from the apartment (the best pizza we had during our Italy stay)!

Comfortable stay, flexible host

Elisabetta was a wonderful host. She was kind enough to allow an early check in and later check out, which really helped our travel plans especially since we were traveling with a small child. The apartment was exactly what we needed: safe, centrally located and enough space to avoid feeling encumbered by bags like we would in a hotel. Grazie, Elisabetta!

A Month in Florence

We had a wonderful visit with our daughter who was studying in Florence. Our family visited over the month transitioning in and out of the flat and it was a smooth and easy process. Great location and Elisabetta was responsive, kind and easy to work with at all times. I would stay there again!

Location location location

Elisabetta was a wonderful host. She had a binder with local info and suggestions, a map of the area. Very thoughtful 😃. The location is absolutely perfect for a stay in Florence. If there was one thing I could change, it is the size of the shower. A little difficult to maneuver without bumping the on/off hold/cold handle. I’m not tiny so some fault of mine as well but a teeny bit more room would have been nice. Beyond that, this stay was absolutely perfect.

Perfect apartment in Florence

This apartment is perfect Florence. Location, size, amenities, host, cleanliness, it was the place to be. Located in the heart of the city yet a quiet oasis. Comfortable and convenient to everything. An easy walk to all the sights and the transportation system. Cabs abound. Words cannot express not photos really portray how well situated and appointed the apartment is. Host is wonderful and made our stay better with the wine and city suggestions. Very responsive and lovely. Would definitely rent again.

Specular Apartment

This apartment is spectacular. Elisabetta is helpful and friendly, providing the best Benvenuti a Firenze. The accommodations are clean and comfortable. But the most stunning part is the apartment is quiet but absolutely in the middle of the city with everything close enough to walk and visit all the famous sites. I highly recommend staying here in this 2 bedroom apartment.

Absolute perfect Florence location!

We could not have been happier with our decision to stay at thia location in Florence. The owner, Elisabetta, was incredibly responsive throughout the process and made sure we felt good about our stay. For starters, the location is perfect in Florence as its seconds from Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi. A quick walk to the train station and you can take day trips easily. If you're looking for the Ritz Carlton this isnt the location for you. If you want clean and convenient then I'd highly recommend and would stay here again without question.

Eleven days in Venice

Clean, comfortable centrally-located two bedroom apartment. 2 1/2 blocks from the Ponte Vecchio; three blocks from the Uffizi and the Piazza della Signoria; about eight blocks from the Duomo. The apartment building is in the middle of the busy nightlife/tourist/ resaurant district, but the unit faces an interior courtyard and is on a high floor, so little of the street noise penetrates. Elisabetta, the owner, gave us helpful information about local transportation and the location of an excellent CONAD supermarket just on the other side of the Ponte Vecchio. We would stay here again.

Cannot say enough about this property! I stayed 15 night and it really felt like home. Thank you Elisabetta for making my stayed so pleasant and for your prompt communication. Prime location…. with AC and an elevator” and it’s actually better in person, pictures don’t really show all the charm this apartment has to offer. Grazie mille Elizabetta

Amazing host and location

Elisabetta was a wonderful host and very responsive to questions we had. The flat is perfectly located with in walking distance to all the museums, restaurants, shopping, etc. It was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Elisabetta left us a bottle of wine, which was a nice touch. Florence is a magical place with so many great restaurants, gelato and shopping. I had the best lattes I've ever had in my life! My daughter and I felt safe walking at night. We had the most fun making pasta and touring wineries. We loved Florence and hope to return again.

Great Apartment, Great Location!

My spouse and I stayed here for several days on our trip to Florence. The pictures really don't do the apartment justice and we really loved how it looked and felt. The best aspect though is the location - its literally a few steps to Ponte Vecchio bridge and Uffizi museum. Elisabetta was a great host and made sure we felt welcome and settled when we arrived. One of our favourite apartments on our trip to Italy and would definitely stay again.

I am a teacher of Agrarian Sciences, graduated at the University of Florence. I have lived in this apartment during the years of my studying. I am actually living in Siena and I have got a winery in Chianti zone which pruduces wine and olive oil.

What makes this property unique

The apartment has got the entrance on the most central street of Florence and it is very bright and quiet, because it has windows on the courtyard and on the Forte Belvedere. Every museum and every monument is reachable in a few minutes by walking.
