This was our second stay at this apartment and again it was wonderful. We really enjoy the area, as it is so near major landmarks but also an area frequented by locals as well as tourists. The apartment was clean and the washer/dryer was a plus! Also, they were very helpful getting us into the apartment early and helping us get a taxi to the train station when we left. Would love to come back!
Fabulous, extremely hospitable hosts, wonderful stay. The perfect spot for a 6-week vacation. The location is perfect, about 5-7 mins walk from the Piazza Del Duomo but far enough away to not be inundated by crowds. Close to the Mercato Sant’Ambrogio, where the locals shop, best place for fresh fruits and veggies, meats and seafood. Thank you so much to Francesco and Mirta for a fantastic 30th anniversary vacation stay. We hope to see you again!
It is a very nice home in a wonderful location. The home was large, with a well furnished kitchen, nice bathroom, very comfortable bed and pleasant living/sitting area.
Our stay in Florence Italy was wonderful. The apartment was very cozy. The location is perfect. It is very close and easily walkable to all the attractions, restaurants, and stores for essential needs. The communications with the host is great. I would recommend this apartment to any one staying in Florence.
Clean, quiet, comfortable and very close to major sites and great restaurants.

Really enjoyed our three nights here. The owners were fantastic and very helpful. The area is quite nice. Everything you need is close by and a short walk to wverywhere
Location, location, location. Only 5' walk to Duomo and no more than 15 min walk to heart of shopping district. Shower is as small as it looks but would go back.
The apartment was great - had everything we needed, including a washer/dryer combination. The only drawback is the size of the bathroom & shower. Definitely a one-person bathroom, and the shower would be challenging for a large person to get into. Lots of great n
The home was perfect for my wife and I to stay in on our honeymoon! The location was so amazing being walking distance from basically every single tourist destination in Florence and specifically very close to the main cathedral. The home was well stocked and very clean. The 2-in-1 washer/dryer was very convenient for laundry as Florence was only the first leg of our trip.
This was a new location for us to stay in the city. We have stayed in Florence more than a dozen times. It is well positioned between the Duomo and Santa Croce with a grocery store and plenty of wonderful restaurants around the corner. We enjoy cooking for ourselves and found everything we needed for it to feel like home. Mirta responded quickly to any queries and was very helpful.
Enjoy!

The location is very good, check-in was easy. The apartment was as expected and within walking distance of almost everything.
We enjoyed our stay at this apartment and in Florence.
This location could not be better for walking through all of Florence. That includes groceries, cafe and wine window 100m away to the pizza, Italian restaurant and outdoor beer square just across the street. So many museums, churches and historic sites so close by as well (including Day trips and local tours on bike and golf cart). Great communication from our hosts on check in and out. Thanks for a wonderful stay in your city!
We enjoyed staying at this 15th century property for our two-week stay. Comfy bed, updated kitchen, very quiet and insulated from any street noise. It was perfect for a couple on vacay in Florence. We were softly greeted in the mornings by the bells of the Duomo. All went 5-stars until the last two mornings with no hot water in the shower - just like in the 15th century... Advised the owner through VRBO text but never got any response to fix the issue before we departed. Otherwise a 5-star experience.
The location of the apartment and quick access to restaurants, coffee shops, etc was superb.

Fantastic location and the hosts were helpful. One thing to note is that the shower is very small, even for European standards, if this would be a concern.

We had a good stay at Sant' Egidio except bitten by man mosquitoes.
We had a wonderful stay. 5 nights! Perfect location, the apartment had everything we needed. The washing machine that also dried the clothes was such a help. We would stay here again.
Thanks so much for the beautiful stay in Florence! The hosts were very helpful and attentive with all communication prior to and during our stay. The apartment is so spacious and convenient to the Duomo and so many great restaurants and locations.
The check in process was wonderful, easy, and convenient. The hosts left us a wonderful welcome present and there was nothing we were left wanting.
Will absolutely be recommending this place to friends and family who will be staying in Florence in the future!

About the host

Half Italian/half British I have been travelling and living overseas for 12 years where was working in the tourist field. After all this travel decided to return to Italy where I have met my husband and changed job. Have been living in Florence with my family for the past 7 years and decided to return to my original 'passion' and accomodate travellers in our apartment in Sant' Egidio. Looking forward to meet you I will be answering your queries within 24 hrs.
Why they chose this property
My husband and I were looking as an investment a flat which was in the heart of Florence, in an ancient building and we fell in love with the beams and joists of this flat which are thypical of the Florentine style. This is also the reason why we tried to give Sant' Egidio a warm touch mantaining a very relaxing atmosphere.
What makes this property unique
For us Sant' Egidio is unique because of its atmosphere, because of its location and for all love and attention to details we put into it.
