Florence Rooftop Terrace Apartment View of Cathedral Dome
This characteristic two bedroom apartment is located on the top floor (fourth) with an elevator of an old Florentine liberty style palazzo. It is located in the heart of Florence one half block from the cathedral square. This is a no traffic street. The flat has the most spectacular view of the Cathedral Dome with its lovely rooftop terrace (unforgettable views). It is situated on two floors. The entry level houses the two bedrooms (one with two single beds and one with a double bed) and 2 bathroom with a shower stall. On the next floor (reached by a small wooden stairway) there is the living/dining area and small (but functional) kitchen alcove. There is a lovely corner fireplace in the living area. Up a few steps is the study area with a day bed (single) and its spectacular view of the Cathedral dome. From the study you enter the terrace. The terrace has outdoor furniture and a big sun umbrella. The furnishings are comfortable and reflect the owners many travels to the far east.
We are a family of three: my husband is a doctor, my 30 year old son and I am a math teacher. We are native Florentines and we live on the third floor of the building. Our English speaking skills are fairly basic so please be patient and excuse any mistakes when you.
P.S. From my precedent American guest.
We stayed at a delightful place in Florence and want to let you know about the place. It is no problem communicating with Angela by e mail but she does not speak English although her 30 year old son, Marco, speaks English. The location is fantastic ! It is about a 10 minute walk from the train station and smack in the middle of everything. As a matter of fact, when you step out of the building you are in one of the main thoroughfares and surrounded by about 4 restaurants and stores. Amazing thing is that when you are in the flat you cannot hear the street noise at all .. it is only when you are down on the ground floor about to step through the door that you hear the street noise. So, you find number 11 .. press Angela's flat (she lives on the 2nd floor and the flat is on the 3rd floor) and she meets you at the door. You go through the old main door .. then an iron gate .. then up a short stairs and you come to the elevator; which is amazing in itself. It is a modern elevator but will hold only 2 people .. or one with bunch of luggage. The unit itself is on 3 levels .. as you enter there are 2 bedrooms and 2 bath (shower) on the main floor. This can sleep a couple in the double bed room .. and two singles (or 3 as there are also 1 extra bed!) or other couple in the other room. The you walk up a short set of stairs and you arrive in the living room which has a fire place .. dining table and comfortable chairs. Also a kitchen well equipped whit microwave , mini oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher washing machine. The you go up one more level to the study; which is attached to a marvelous roof top deck with fantastic view of the Florence sky line. The study has a wonderful couch where one more person can sleep (sofa bed) .
Other than that .. what a find. The location is perfect .. I love all the restaurants and shops around her place .. And we lit the fire in the fireplace and it was marvelous .. to be able to make a cup of tea in the kitchen .. on an on ..

The location beats all the other criteria of this listing! In the middle of Florence, steps from Il Duomo, lots of restaurants nearby…The apartment was clean and nice and we took full advantage of the roof top terrace view, which is uniquely beautiful!!!

Great location. Great view. Charming old apartment
This was a great place to stay. Walking distance to everything but still quiet at night. The view of the Duomo was spectacular and Angela And Marco were lovely hosts. It is an old building with old building charm and plumbing but this detracted so little from our overall wonderful experience I still give it 5 stars!

The property is just round the corner from the duomo, with a beautiful view of it from the terrace. Close to shops, markets and restaurants but quiet inside. The host Sandro was warm and friendly.
Beautifully situated. Host Sandro went above and beyond to help us enjoy our stay. We loved the terrace and the convenience for all activities. Will definitely use the property again. Mille grazie!!

Amazing apartment with fantastic view
We had a wonderful time staying in this apartment. The view of Florence and the Duomo is amazing. We loved eating breakfast and drinking wine in the evening from the rooftop deck. The apartment has everything you need and was very comfortable.

This apartment is literally steps away from the Duomo. It's near everything but it's quiet inside. The train station is very close, maybe 10 to 15 minutes. We enjoyed the roof top patio with wonderful views!
From booking to check out Sandro was wonderful to work with. The apartment is very nice with a terrace view that is just beautiful. Sandro is a very sweet man who was very patient with our questions,booked us early morning taxis and recommended restaurants and grocery stores for our stay.We would love to come back and stay there again!

Wonderful!
Angela and her husband were warm, friendly and very generous- leaving wine and a snack for us. The apartment is beautiful, very comfortable, centrally located and perfect for a stay in Florence. We enjoyed the view from the terrace, the apartment was well furnished and the beds were comfortable. Just perfect.

This apartment has all to offer. Convenience of location, roomy and a beautiful view. This is an A+ accommodation in all respects. We will book with him again. Great communication. Friendly and helpful. Perfect!!!
Rental was spacious and the view of the cupola of the Duomo and the Duomo’s bell tower at night from the apartment’s terrace was nothing less than spectacular. There were half a dozen good restaurants just outside the front door. It is hard to go wrong with this rental.

Well I'm not sure words can describe the flat, and the location. AMAZING!!!!!! Beds were comfy, A/C worked great (its REALLY HOT in Italy in the summer) and roof top is outstanding. Having the lift is a must and great to have. I highly recommend you stay here!!!

Florence Vacation
My husband and our friends had a wonderful stay in this beautiful apartment in the center of Florence. We had an awesome view of the Dome and church from our rooftop terrace. Our apartment was spacious, clean and so convenient to the train station, the market place and airport. We couldn't have asked for nicer accommodations. On arrival we were greeted by the owners who had waiting for us a very nice bottle of white wine. It was great way to start our vacation. We would definitely go back!

Our new home in Florence
This apartment was truly amazing. The view is more breathtaking than the photos and we spent all of our free time on the deck. Angela and her family were the kindest, most lovely hosts and we felt as if they were family by the time we left. The location is perfect - near the train station and all of the places you want to be in Florence. A grocery store is right below the apartment. There are many places to relax and the bedrooms are very comfortable. I cannot say enough and have already booked the apartment for my trip in February.

Great location and Sandro and Angela were incredible host. We had a couple of questions and needs and they were always there at a moments notice. Sandro grazia. If you want to be in the heart of Florence stay here. For cappuccino go to Corona Caffe not Caffe Scudieri and for pizza go to I’ll Nuti. For wine go to Franco & Sheryl across the street. They make great recommendations and speak fluent English and Italian. Very beautiful people - Sandro, Angela, Sheryl and Franco.
This property is spacious, well-kept, and nicely appointed with a gorgeous deck. For years, we stayed a few doors down at another apartment and looked at this amazing terrace. The fact that it has an elevator made this perfect for us. Sandro was a gracious host. The apartment had everything we needed. We love the area, which has great restaurants in close proximity, historic attractions, and a good grocery virtually downstairs. I'm afraid it won't be available when we want to stay again...it's that good.

Spring Break with family of Five
My family of five stayed in this amazing apartment during spring break. The apartment was everything we could hope for being centrally located in a nice neighborhood. We walked everywhere, including from and back to the train station. We dined right outside the front doors in great restaurants and also shopped at the grocery store just steps from the front entrance. The neighborhood was very easy to navigate. The apartment amenities were perfect (washed some laundry, relaxed on terrace, ate a couple meals in) Most amazing was the two level patio overlooking the central cathedral. Owners were very nice.
