A spectacular property in a less crowded neighborhood but an easy walk to central Florence.

Our host Filippo was so responsive on internet before our trip and sorted any problems and requests we had. He gave us a thorough orientation to the apartment and filled a local map with key info. The apartment is in a lovely older building across from a small park and within short walk of good food and large supermarket. Iris about a 25 minute walk along the Arno River to the Centre of old Florence Can’t say enough good things about this place.Tim and Irene

Charming Property & Fabulous Host

I highly recommend considering this spacious, charming apartment if you’re visiting Venice. The apartment is absolutely huge and could easily accommodate a large family or group traveling together. There are several great restaurants close by, a great little café just across the street, and easy access to public transportation. Filippo is an amazing host and can give you so many suggestions about what to see and do.

Large family trip

Loved this apartment. Plenty of space for our family of 10. Host was very helpful. The only downfall was the distance to the main attractions. With young kids, it was a long walk. Taxi's and Uber's are either hard to find or expensive. Would definitely stay here again.

Cozy Stay

I stayed here with my family and we each had our own space with a lot of room to get ready for the day. The terraces/balconies are beautiful and a great place to have your coffee or read a book. It helped that the city center was not a far walk either. Filippo was great with check-in, and made sure we had an itinerary for our week stay. We would come back again!!

VRBO location was fantastic. Filippo was a wonderful host and most helpful. The apartment was clean and roomy with all the amenities necessary for our family's comfort. Easy walk to local restaurants, but not too close to tourist destinations. When in Florence again we would definitely stay here.

Gorgeous Apartment - Great Host

We are a group of 4 adults who stayed for 5 nights at Filippo’s beautiful apartment in the Santo Spirito area of Florence. When we arrived, Filippo gave us a detailed tour, explaining how everything in the apartment worked, what sights to see, favorite places to eat, nearby grocery stores, etc. He could not have been more helpful or accommodating- even arranging a taxi for our return to the airport. The apartment is huge, the bedrooms large and comfortable. Lovely furniture and art, and well-equipped for everything one would need. The balconies were an added bonus. We all agreed that if we’re ever back in Florence, we would definitely stay here again! A true taste of renaissance Italy. Thank you, Filippo!
