The Prisco apartment is located half a block off fashionable Via Tornabuoni near Palazzo Strozzi. It is on the third floor of a building with an elevator. Restaurants, shops abound in this neighborhood. The apartment is extremely spacious, 85 square meters/900 square feet.
Take a walk through the Prisco apartment by viewing the video. See link above.
The morning sun illuminates the living room and kitchen area. During the remodeling the original wall separating the kitchen and living room was removed so that guests can enjoy the comfort and convenience of an open plan living room and kitchen area. The spacious kitchen table seats up to six people.
Throw open the large living room, bedroom & kitchen windows and enjoy the lively scene below. The apartment features many original Italian antiques, yet the living room maintains a casual feel with a modern, top quality new Italian sofa that opens to become queen size bed.
In the morning zip down to the bakery that is next door to the apartment building and pick out your morning bread and pastries. In the afternoon stop by for a few delicate cookies for tea time or dessert. Only a few blocks away is a large news agent that has newspapers and magazines in every language. At night, enjoy a glass of wine and relax a bit before you head out to one of the many excellent neighborhood restaurants. Right on the street are several good cafes and restaurants, making it so convenient if your feet are crying for mercy after a busy day filled with sightseeing.
The kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances including gas range with grill, a large oven, lots of cabinet and countertop space, dishwasher, and a large refrigerator with freezer. The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, dishes.
The spacious master bedroom has high ceilings and a romantic queen size iron bed draped with soft, sheer fabric. A new chaise longue-style twin bed in the corner of the bedroom provides an extra sleeping space. The bedroom alone is over 40 square meters, or 430 square feet...larger then many Florence apartments! We like to advise guests that since this apartment is in the popular historic center, there can be street noise at night from pedestrians (not cars) down below who are strolling by after a meal at one of the many nearby restaurants. The bedroom & living room windows are double glazed.
Within the same building are our Strozzi VRBO #156868, Lucia VRBO #328406 and Michaela VRBO #58566 vacation rental apartments.

We enjoyed the accommodation and its location. The apartments [Florence Prisco #52284 and Rome Pasquino #135907] were well appointed and importantly for us the internet connection was consistently strong. The location was perfect. Well positioned walking distance to all the major attractions. I would definitely recommend Italy Perfect to a friend. The apartments are consistently excellent.

We spent 9 days in the Prisco apartment in Oct/Nov of 2011 and really enjoyed our stay. Literally outside our door was the bakery, butcher, cafe and a few really good restaurants. We never took a single cab as the location is so central to everything in Florence. We made breakfast every morning in the kitchen- the owners do a great job of explaining how everything works. The bed was comfy and the bedroom was perfectly quiet for sleeping. There is a busy intersection right below so there is traffic noise in the living room and kitchen area but it is tolerable. The Italy Perfect team gives you everything you need to know in terms of important info about the apartment, the area and just apartment living in Italy in general. Everything they sent beforehand was just as they described when we got there - no surprises at all. It all came in really handy. They only thing they need to work on is the internet signal and I know that is tough as it is an older building. All and all, I would absolutely rent with Italy Perfect again!

My husband and I stayed at the Prisco Apartment in October. It was wonderful. I actually didn't want to leave. The apartment was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated and it was very evident that a great deal of time and thought had been put into making the apartment as nice as possible for guests. The location was ideal, it was close to the train station and it was very easy to get to all of the sites that we wanted to see. I enjoyed watching the activity on the street. Franco recommended Giovanni's, a restaurant close by and we had a wonderful meal there. We also enjoyed grocery shopping at the nearby San Lorenzo Market and it quickly became a morning routine to visit the bakery a couple of doors down for morning rolls and something for dessert. Our stay in Florence exceeded expectations and this was due in part to our stay at Prisco. I would recommend Italy Perfect without hesitation.

We stayed in the unique Prisco apartment for a week in October, the busiest tourist time in the City it seemed. Very spacious and comfortable, light and airy, located within walking distance of everthing we wanted to see. Greeter hosts were helpful and courteous. Kitchen was excellant for those nights when we were too tired to stir out again. It was a joy to run downstairs and next door to get freshly baked pastries every day. The apartment was close enough to the train station to walk, with suitcase, to the apartment. The apartment was very clean when we arrived and quality windows made it quiet at night.

I just wanted to say thank you for arranging the wonderful stay at the Prisco apartment in Florence. Your detailed instructions were wonderful! We were met by Nicoleta who instructed us on all windows, locks, appliances etc. The apartment exceeded our expectations! It was so large and so well furnished and so wonderfully located in the middle of everything. My sisters and I loved having a place to come home to during the day, where we could rest up again before going out again for the evening. We quite enjoyed hanging out the windows watching the world go by, including a parade on the Sunday morning. About the only hint I would offer is regarding the mosquitoes – and to use the insect repellant that was provided.

We stayed at the Prisco apartment 16 nights in August 2010 and returned for 5 nights in August 2011. We already have recommended to friends and acquaintances this apartment, and the other apartments the owners rent on the same floor of this historic building. The Prisco apartment is quite large, beatifically decorated, very comfortable, and is in a wonderful location close to almost everything in Florence. With the windows closed at night, the apartment is very quiet, but as soon as you wake up in the morning and open the huge double-paned windows, it is like walking onto a movie set of a city alive with activity and energy. We loved looking out onto the streets below to see the shopkeepers getting their early morning deliveries, the street washing machines going back and forth, many business people walking or riding vespas to work, and hordes of tourists on their way to or from the train station or meeting their guides on the street below. We had everything we needed in the apartment, including enough cooking items and table settings to have dinner at the apartment with our five Italian relatives. We think they were surprised to see how lovely and large the apartment is! The owners were very pleasant and helpful and provided many pamphlets, maps, and guidebooks, as well as a computer room with computers and printers. Having WIFI in the apartment was very important to us since we like to stay connected by email and each day while having lunch we watched the American news broadcasts from the previous evening. The owners provide their renters with a loaner cell phone that is inexpensive compared to using the iPhone we brought with us.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Prisco Apartment in Florence. The accommodations were exactly as described and the location was fabulous. It was close to all sites and walking to and from the train station was extremely convenient. Miki and Franco were absolutely wonderful and attentive hosts. Having access to laundry and a kitchen during our stay in Italy was absolutely fabulous and made us feel at home. The Central market is very close for those who love to cook. The soundproof windows in the bedroom are a complete sound block, which made getting a deep sleep very easy. Overall, the Prisco was fabulous and we would welcome another stay there anytime we are back in Italy. Thank you Italy Perfect for a great experience. We look forward to using your services again.

We traveled with our 17 year old daughter and stayed at Prisco. It was well appointed, comfortable, spacious, clean, light and sound proof (especially in the master bedroom). Even though it had the look and feel of an "old world" apartment, there were modern touches with the stove and shower. Wireless internet was a little slow. Micki and Franco could not have been more accommodating, available and delightful! The building was easy to deal with and it was a few steps from Gucci (great bargains during the sale for us, major shoppers) and the Strozzi Palace which had an excellent Dali, Picasso and Miro exhibit for a contemporary art experience. The neighborhood was terrific and there were excellent restaurants within very short walking distances. It is a little daunting to find a grocery store in the neighborhood for essentials, but they do exist. Franco recommended Giovanni which had the best home made biscotti for sure. Restaurants Sostanza and Bella Donna were our two favorites, and the cafe right below the apartment had great coffee to start the mornings. The train station was very close by which made a day trip to Pisa very manageable. Lisa was very easy to deal with around the contracting. Would not hesitate to recommend this apartment or the Italy Perfect experience.

My daughter and I had a wonderful time in Florence at the Prisco apartment. It could not have been a better location to get to absolutely everything we wanted to do while in Florence. The information you provided truly prepared me for getting to and from the train station, navigate where to eat, shop and get into museums! I have already referred the apartment to two friends hoping to travel to Florence next year. If I can ever talk my husband in to going to Italy with me – I will be back as well!

A spacious, comfortable, well equipped apartment. Mikki and Franco are excellent hosts and ensure that you understand how everything works. Lots of guide books and local information, free use of computers and a printer if needed. There are lots of local shops nearby and it can be nosiy but there is double glazing in the bedroom which together with the excellent bed ensure a good nights sleep. Very convenient for sites and markets.
