This apartment was modern, clean and in the perfect location. The host was extremely accommodating. We want to come back to Florence and we would definitely stay there again,
Stafano and Patrizia were absolutely fantastic. Due to unexpected flight delays, we arrived at the apartment very late and they meet us to help us up the stairs and show us around the beautiful apartment. The apartment is very well stocked with kitchen items and the restaurant recommendations we tried were fantastic. The rooms all had AC which was very nice with the high temperatures when we were there. I highly recommend staying at this beautiful apartment. It was perfect for our family of four.
Our hosts Patrizia and were exceptional. They were very easy to communicate with and were great at assisting us with suggestions and recommendations. That unit is very clean and a very tee y nice size.
The apartment was wonderful. Very clean, wonderful hosts, and super location. The local restaurants nearby were really excellent. So many cute places around and easy access to the Boboli gardens. Stefano came to help with our bags when we were leaving and we appreciated it so much! We were very pleased with our stay and highly recommend this apartment. We stayed for seven days, my son and I.
Stefano and Patrizia were gracious hosts. They met us for check-in and even had the apartment ready early which was so helpful. They welcomed us with a treat as well. The apartment was very clean and bright and located in a nice building. There was a desk next to a window in one of the bedrooms that was a great spot to apply my makeup each morning with a mirrored wardrobe right next to it. Stefano even helped us with arranging a taxi for our early departure day because I was having issues with it. Would recommend and stay again as we hope to revisit beautiful Florence in our future travels.
A spacious and clean apartment near the main city centre. A short walk to a grocery store, restaurants, numerous museums, coffee bars, shopping etc. Check in and out was very easy and we had paid parking for our car. Our hosts were very helpful and attentive. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Hosts were extremely hospitable. The apartment was very clean and well appointed. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The location we felt safe. Would be glad to stay again in the future.
Patrizia and Stefano were excellent hosts. They greeted us at the apartment and helped take our luggage up the two flights of stairs and gave us general information about the neighborhood and our stay. Stefano returned at checkout to once again help us with the bags. They responded via WhatsApp whenever we had a question. Patricia communicates well in English. The apartment is a 10 minute walk to the Pitti Palace and 20 minutes from the Ponte Vecchio. The #11 bus is close by for those who prefer public transportation. We liked staying somewhere away from the very crowded center of town. The apartment itself is lovely--clean and nicely furnished. Cleaning supplies etc. were provided. In sum, highly recommended!
Excellent choice for a stay in Florence. The apartment was bright and clean. The hosts, Patrizia and Stefano, were easy to communicate with and were available for assistance.
Great place to stay. It was so clean and had everything we needed. Patrizia was there to greet us and always responded quickly to our questions. Location made it easy to walk to the sites and restaurants.
My family of 5 had the best time. The property is so clean! We appreciated this quiet space away from the hustle and bustle of the historic area. We would definitely choose to stay here again.

We had the best time in Florence staying at this VRBO near Port de Roma. The vibe of the neighborhood and the shops near by are fantastic. We especially loved the gelato store at the corner. Thank you again for hosting us!
Wonderful place for our family while in Florence. We were very comfortable with the space and all the accommodations. The location is great, a bit outside the main center of the city but easy to walk to all the sites. The neighborhood is great with many shops and restaurants. Also an amazing gelato place at the end of the block.
