This was one of the best apartments we have ever stayed in. It was beautiful, spacious, and ideally located. Roberta was friendly and very helpful. We couldn’t have asked for a better place. It made our time in Firenze even more wonderful!
All communication with Roberta was quick and helpful. The apartment is right in the centre of the main landmarks of the city, very close to the river. Everything was easy walking distance, yet in a quiet area. The apartment is very comfortable and well stocked with anything you may have forgotten to bring. The ceiling is beautiful and the building is from the 1500s. Would highly recommend.

Great location and service. The pictures online don’t do this plac
Unbelievably beautiful courtyard leads you to a lovely apartment with arched ceilings and wonderful character. The kitchen and bathroom are very spacious. The living room if comfortable and inviting. The bedrooms are a bit small but the beds are comfortable (all you need for a good night’s sleep). The apartment was immaculate. The owner was lovely. Check in was easy and she showed us how things in the apartment worked. She had a book that had helpful information including good restaurants in the neighborhood.Although everything about the apartment was great, the best part of this rental is the location. You turn one corner and yourself on a street full of restaurants and stores, you turn right and walk one block and you’re at the Arno River. You turn left and walk 2 blocks and you’re at the Basilica of Santa Croce. The location is just perfect.I would highly recommend this rental if you want to be in the heart of Florence in a beautiful, comfortable and clean apartment.
The property is amazing. They had everything we could have possibly needed. It was very clean and comfortable. Roberta was very nice and helpful. Highly recommend. La Buchetta just downstairs outside was lovely as well.
We enjoyed the location of the property, five minute walk to the Arno river. There was a spectacular courtyard as soon as you walked into the property. Only one flight of stairs to carry suitcases. Having air conditioning was welcomed when staying in July. Only negative was to access one of the bedrooms, you had to enter via the bathroom (which if someone was using,not possible) or enter through the other bedroom. Nowhere to open out a suitcase in either bedroom.
Absolutely LOVED this apartment ! The remodel was well done on this 1600’s building.All the convenience of a modern apartment in a well maintained historic building . The location is perfect for walking to all our destinations, yet we felt more like a local in our neighborhood and not a tourist in the crowds . Would highly recommend & would stay there again .
The apartment is a great choice. The location is perfect, a close walk to so many points of interest, places to eat or purchase food. All of rooms are very clean with lovely architectural details. Modern kitchen and bath! Check in and out was very easy. Price is good for what you get. Excellent host communication.
Lovely apartment in great neighborhood for sightseeing. Loved the intimate Horne museum across the street, which we wouldn’t have visited otherwise. Roberta was very accommodating re: our arrival time and luggage storage the day we left.
Great location. Easy to get to anywhere in Florence.
We stayed here for 9 days and everything was as described. Easy check in and clear instructions for checking out. We came in by train and the cab ride was 20 euros. We only had to use taxis 3 times. Going to train station twice and once for an early morning tour. Highly recommend.
Roberta was an excellent host. She went out of her way when our flight was delayed to still be there for us at check in. The place is exactly like advertised and its location made it perfect to explore the city on foot. We read the other reviews too and there was some excellent information within them to make our stay even smoother.
Un séjour idéal à Florence. Emplacement exceptionnel en plein centre ville proche de l'Arno mais très calme. Propre, fonctionnel avec une hôtesse accueillante et toujours prête à donner de bons conseils. Je reviens souvent à Florence, c'est ma meilleure location. Un bonheur !
An absolutely wonderful apartment in a building designed by Brunelleschi in the 15 th century. Perfect location near the Uffizi. Wonderful restaurants within a short walk. Highly recommended
We had such a wonderful time, in such a beautiful location. It was so close to every wonderful thing to experience in Florence (Ufizzi, Piazza Michelangelo, Ponte Vecchio). The moment upon seeing the apartment garners and immediate "Ohh wow!" response. Brunelleschi nailed it! Wonderful stay at an amazing apartment! Can't wait to return some awesome day!
We enjoyed our stay at this property. It met our needs well and the location is perfect. Lots to see nearby with many great places to eat as well as groceries. We recommend choosing to stay here when visiting Florence!
Very comfortable stay in a great location. Walking distance to all major sites. AC was great after a hot day of walking around. Check in was easy. Would definitely recommend this location.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this historic building! No problems and we found our way back home easily—only one bridge away from the Ponte Vecchio!
Short stay in Florence while traveling through Italy
Apartment was wonderful and exactly as described. Great location near all the attractions yet in a quiet area. Amazing kitchen for cooking and all the amenities would could hope for while traveling with family
