It is situated on the 4th floor ( 86 steps without elevator ) but once you reach the top the full 360° breathtakingview will leave you speechless .
The property has undergone a recent renovation to further enhance its endless beauty and traditional 15th century features . This new look has refreshed both the downstairs and upstairsmaking the apartment even more cozier and confortable for guests to enjoy . The original red terracotta floors now shine white and some of the antique furniture has been re-modelled to achieve a more modern and stylish approach .
The flat develops on two levels, on the first floor you can find the bright and spacious master bedroom with en suite marble bathroom and shower , and a second bedroom which can be either double or twin .

Great location, amazing views, perfect latout
All of Florence is viewable from the stunning view from every window of this amazing property, and lots of sites are within a 5-10 minute walk in any direction. We loved our stay! The bedroom/bathroom configuration worked perfectly for our two couples, and the kitchen/living area upstairs was perfect for meals and relaxing between travels across town and into the Tuscan countryside. The hospitality was terrific…we appreciated being greeted with wine and porter service, and the notebook full of insights about things to do and places to visit was helpful. We hope to be back again after a memorable stay!

Absolutely amazing
We loved this apartment! The views are amazing and the location is fantastic. Communication was excellent and the tour, driving company and food recommendations were wonderful. We would definitely recommend renting this apartment. So grateful we were able to stay here, the apartment itself feels like Florence. Thank you!

You Won't Be Disappointed
This is a gem in a safe, convenient Florence neighborhood. The views from both balconies were better than advertised. The décor was a perfect blend of shabby and antique, with the feel of an upscale country villa. Our host, Erika, met us on scene to show us the apartment. She was quick to respond to any questions we had. Ask her about cooking classes in Florence and you won't be disappointed! There are 90 or so steps to get to the apartment, which was completely fine for our family. Erika is able to schedule a luggage porter if you prefer to not carry your own luggage. The two bedrooms and two full bathrooms were downstairs while the kitchen, living room, and balconies were upstairs. We had great weather during our January stay and didn't need air conditioning, but did notice the apartment has several split unit air conditioners. The building was secured by a locking main door, another locked interior gate, as well as a heavy dead-bolted door in the apartment. The neighborhood is a block or so from the five-star Hotel Bernini. There are restaurants, cafes, shopping, and Florence landmarks within short walks. There was also a famous Tik Tok panini shop around the corner. We avoided the lines and went to the less famous neighboring places whose bread, sliced prosciutto, and cheese warranted a VRBO tip of the cap. The best compliment I could think to give about this location is I want people I care about to have a chance to experience it.

Amazing peaceful rooftop apt!
I had two weeks to enjoy my rooftop sanctuary. What an amazing location and quiet space to relax. I enjoyed the bells and views of the historic sites and rolling hills around Florence.
