  • We just returned from Italy and spent 5 fabulous nights in Mery's lovely apartment. It was perfect for the 6 of us (my husband, our 2 kids and my parents) and we couldn't have been more pleased with the location. It's just steps to Ponte Vecchio, the Piti Palace and just about anything else you could need or want in Florence. Mery is a gracious host and so helpful and kind. We would all highly recommend this apartment. It was home away from home and we miss it already. Don't leave without buying some of Mery's beautiful ceramics! I'm waiting for my box to arrive so I can show off my pieces! Grazie mille Mery!!

  • My family of 7 recently stayed at the apt. The location if fabulous, one can walk everywhere. The apartment is very comfortable and well equipped. Mery is incredibly welcoming and with very good suggestions of where to eat. If you want to visit the Academia and Uffizi, ask Mery to make the reservations as you will save the internet fee. Great Place!!

  • We recently rented this apartment for three nights. We were very pleased. The location was perfect for our family of five. We had plenty of room and everything was very clean. I don't think you could find a better location in Florence. We were able to walk everywhere. Not only were the historical sights easy to get to but there were great restaurants and shopping all around us. The pastry shop directly across the street was fabulous. The food was delicious and the prices were reasonable. Mery, the owner of our apartment, was very sweet and helpful. She speaks excellent English and she made us feel very comfortable and was always available to help us with our many questions. We hope to return to Florence some day and this will definitely be the place we stay. We made an excellent choice when we chose this apartment!!

  • May 15, 2009 We, a family of five adults, traveled to Italy for a two week adventure! The last five days of our trip were spent in Florence, and when we arrived at Mery’s apartment, we felt like we had arrived home. Mery and her family treated us like family and made Florence the most memorable city of our adventure. Mery was always available to give directions or offer suggestions for good places to visit. The apartment was lovely with plenty of room for five adults to feel comfortable and stay out of each other’s way. The location is perfect to allow walking almost anywhere. We would highly recommend this apartment to anyone traveling to this area! We would also love to have a repeat visit in the future. Thank you Mery! --The Angolano Family

  • Our group of 4 adults was very happy in our clean, comfortable, and well-equipped Florence apartment. Mery was a wonderful hostess and was always available to answer our questions. The location of the apartment was great as well. I'll definitely stay there again when I'm back in Florence.

  • This apartment is in the perfect location, was spotless, quiet and comfortable, and Mery is a gracious and kind host. We could not have been more pleased. It is located a block from the Ponte Vecchio so just a five minute walk to the Duomo, a couple of minutes to the Uffizi. There were many good and reasonable restaurants within four blocks. An espresso and pastry shop right across the street was a great morning start. The apartment was spotlessly clean. Very, very comfortable beds and pillows. The back two bedrooms are very quiet because they are above a courtyard. Wonderful. Mery doesn't show it in the pictures but there is a large dining table with six chairs. Mery is a sweetheart, kind, and gave us good recommendations for restaurants. Thank you, Mery, for a great stay.

  • The flat had three bedrooms and two bathrooms and can easily accomodate 6 to 7 people. We only had it for 4 nights but would have preferred to stay a week or longer. Excellent location near Ponte Vecchio and jewelery stores. High recommend

  • After researching for an ideal location in Florence that was close to all the action, the shopping, the train station, but not on crowded streets, I found this fantastic location. It is perfectly situated just one block away on the same street of the Ponte Vecchio which has the most amazing jewelry shopping. On the other side of the bridge towards the Duomo and Uffizi are the great fashion stores of Florence, all the famous labels can be found. On the side of the bridge where the apartment is, one finds all the artisan/craftsman type stores, again, amazing shopping and I am not a shopper. Mery, the owner of the ceramic shop below, was a most gracious host, and had a nice gift waiting for the six of us upon arrival which we "shared" with her. She was very sweet, helpful, and made the required reservations for the museums, and taxi service. When we asked Mery "where would you eat?", Mery directed us to a great Tuscan restaurant where she takes her own family when in town to visit; it was a great restaurant, and value as well. Mery is a great ceramic artisan and designs and creates all the ceramics pieces in her shop below. The apartment itself was great, very clean and spacious, and fully functional. It felt like being at home away from home. It housed the six of us (all adults) nicely. It is so convenient that if a wife and husband went out shopping, the husband could take the bags from the wife and walk back to leave them in the flat, and return to the wife within minutes! There were cafes, restaurants and pastry shops down below on the street, as well as wine shops, and even pizza places that we utilized well. Also, we cooked a feast on our last night there, it was a fantastic meal that we will always remember. I would recommend this location to anyone, and we will definitely be back again, next time with the kids. Thank you Mery
