Apt by the duomo

We had a great time here. Laura was an excellent host. Very helpful. The apt was nice and close to all attractions, walking distance. The patio was very pleasant for drinks at night or coffee in the morning. It did get a bit noisy at night with nightlife folk yelling on the streets, hence the 4 stars.

Well maintained apartment in a great location

We stayed in this location for five nights, and really enjoyed our time. The apartment was well taken care of, clean, and in full working order. It has a tranquil and peaceful terrace off the back that is great for just hanging out for a break from the city itself. The host was more than generous with their time upon check-in. She took the time to show us local restaurants that she enjoyed and a local market that she recommended if we wanted to get anything for our stay. The location itself is incredible. Every time you walk in/out the door, you can see the Duomo, and all of the areas of central Florence are within easy walking distance.

Wonderful!

My son and I stayed at this property and could not have been happier! The charming owner, Laura, was incredibly kind and even tried to find crutches for my son, who was injured. The apartment was roomy and lovely. It had everything we needed. It was extremely well located in the center of Florence, but it was not noisy because it was on a fairly quiet street, near a library. What was also wonderful was the pleasant terrace. I can't recommend this apartment highly enough!

Well equipped and ideally located

We spent a very enjoyable week at this delightful apartment, which is well equipped and ideally located. The air conditioning in the bedrooms and living room are effective and quiet.and the terrace includes plenty of optional shade from a parasol and electrically operated awning - a real boon in hot weather. The Duomo is 200 metres away and the Uffizzi and Accademia galleries, Santa Maria Novella, the Medici chapels and Santa Croce are within a kilometre. There are supermarkets and a wide range of restaurants with excellent food in easy walking distance. We can strongly recommend the apartment.

Perfecto

The location is outstanding. Everything is walking distance. The apartment is spacious with a wonderful balcony. The hosts are amazing. They gave very useful travel tips. Coming and going. We had trouble securing a taxi big enough for our luggage so my wife and son went in a taxi and Laura’s husband gave us a ride to the train station. We would stay there again for sure. If this apartment is an available, book it now.

Wonderful apartment

We stayed eight nights and loved. It’s exactly the type of property I would want to own and live in. We walked out of the building to a street view of The Duomo and were within 15-20 minute walks to all main historic sites. Our hostess greeted us as we arrived and got us settled in. She responded quickly when we had a problem with the bathroom and made sure we had our taxi reserved and on time for our departure. We would definitely stay there again when we return to Florence.

Excellent apartment in unbeatable location

Walk out the front door, turn left and within 100 yards you are at the Duomo and other must see sites, as well as great restaurants, trattorias, gelato shops, and all that Old Florence has to offer. The apartment is well appointed, very clean, and all rooms have A/C. Laura is a wonderful host and gave us some excellent recommendations for restaurants and places to pick up groceries and wine, etc. we had a great ten days and would come back and do it again in a heartbeat! Oh, and I almost forgot to mention the outdoor patio/terrace - a great place to enjoy morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening.

Wonderful Apartment!

My 21 year old son and I came to Florence before my son began his semester abroad there. The apartment was clean, spacious, and equipped with everything we would need on our stay. The location was perfect to get around the city and within walking distance to all the sites, and the outdoor terrace was perfect to sit and enjoy a glass of wine in the evenings. Laura was so wonderful in meeting us when we arrived at the apartment and giving us great tips on our stay. She and her husband Gabriele were so gracious and kind! A perfect way to stay in the beautiful city of Firenze!

Lovely apartment, excellent location, wonderful experience

The apartment is very comfortable, a real home away from home. It is close to local restaurants, grocery stores and pharmacies and the Duomo is just 5 minutes away. We were able to walk to everything during our stay, including numerous museums and churches. Laura went out of her way to make our arrival and our stay as comfortable as possible. The apartment was perfect for 2 couples, with plenty of separation between the bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. The outdoor space is fabulous and there is a beautiful library directly across the street with a great coffee shop and unobstructed views of the Duomo. We stayed in 5 different accommodations during our trip to Italy and this was our favorite. If we come back to Florence we would definitely stay here again.

Great Apartment

This lovely apartment could not be better located for exploring Florence! Most all sights are within walking distance, and the train station is about 15 minutes walking distance should you wish to venture from Florence. The public library is across the street. We choose this apartment for the lovely terrace, and indeed it is lovely, but, alas, it rained 7 of the 8 days we were there. We would return just for that terrace! The 2 bedrooms/2 baths were very convenient for two couples offering each of us privacy. We enjoyed the roomy kitchen for coffee and toast in the morning. Although we did not cook any meals (oh-so-many fabulous restaurants in town), the kitchen was well stocked for those wishing to eat in. All was clean and comfortable and I would not hesitate to recommend the apartment to family/friends. Should we return to Florence, this apartment will be our first choice.

The location allowes you to visit Florence without any difficulties, enjoing to be near to all you "must" see in town!
The apartment lets you feel like to be at home: paintings on the wall are belonging to the family and some made by my husband's father.

What makes this property unique

The terrace offers you a quiete place where you will relax enjoing the sun and that special feeling that only in some hidden corner of Florence you can still find.
The new small LIFT( not suitable for wheellchair) is an important plus in the historic center of the city as well the terracce.
