Spacious, central location

Our family of 4 adults enjoyed the cool and funky space to rest after long days exploring the beautiful, historic city and nearby countryside. Sofia was very responsive and helpful and, upon arrival, Fabrizio met us at the door to show us the apartment. Thank you!

Excellent location, plenty of room

This beautiful apartment is a short walk from the train station. We met Sofia very briefly, and then were checked in by Fabrizio who was kind, helpful, and quickly responded to a question we had the next day.My wife and 4 kids all enjoyed our stay. I would highly recommend staying here, and if we ever came back with a group/family of 4-6, we would certainly stay here again!

Wonderful time at Sofia's place

The location was great close to everything. It was very clean and our family enjoyed it. The apartment is very well layed out & the kitchen is very well equipped. Save some energy at the end of the day for the stairs.

Family Time In Florence

Our family had a great stay in Florence. The home was great. It was clean and in a great area. Walkable to great restaurants, attractions and shopping. My kids LOVED the home! There were fun activities for them in the house. The main bedroom did not have air conditioning and there was no elevator. The apartment was on the 3rd floor. The stairs to the second floor loft were very steep as well. The home was comfortable and Fabrizio was wonderful. He met us at the apartment and walked me through the house rules. He was very responsive with communication as well.

Great stay

We enjoyed our stay at Under the Roof of Sofia. Very convenient to the sites of Florence as well as the train station. The place was very clean and comfortable. Was on the third floor with no elevator, so may be an issue for some. Would stay there again.

A beautiful comfortable and convenient place!

I have to say this apartment was even prettier and roomier than the photos! Beware it is on the fourth floor but the hosts carried my bag up for me which was very kind! The apartment had everything I needed and was super convenient to the sights and the train station! Restaurants close by were plentiful as well as shopping of all kinds.I really enjoyed my stay under the roof of Sofia!
