The apartment was perfectly located with the Uffizi gallery located a short walk away and the river with an amazing view of Ponte Vecchio from the closest bridge. The neighborhood was vibrant with easy access to stores and restaurants. I have celiac disease and was very excited to have two exclusively gluten free restaurants, with homemade bread and pasta, within mere blocks.

This was the most wonderful experience my husband and I have had at a rental. The building which was built as a palace during the Renaissance was very special and the apartment within the building was extremely comfortable and spacious. It was very quiet and in a great area within walking distance of many restaurants and sites. Roberta was a wonderful host, easy to contact and went above and beyond in all ways. I hope to go back!

Roberta was wonderful. We had to take the train into the city and then walk quite a long way because of a taxi strike. She waited for us and even sent a friend to find us on the streets to make sure we didn’t get lost. She also stopped by and grabbed us a reservation at the wonderful and very busy restaurant in the building so we could have a nice dinner with no more walking after our travels. The apartment was lovely. It’s perfect for a couple who want to be in the heart of Florence, but still have a quiet place to come home too. The internal courtyard makes it feel very secluded, but when you walk out the door you are only a short walk to all the sights. The restaurants she recommended were great, and we had a wonderful time in Florence and the apartment was the perfect place to rest our head at the end of the day. We would certainly stay again.
