Centre - Duomo Square (150 Feet) Great Location - Free Wifi!

Thank you very much Thomas for your kind words, I really hope to host you in the future again! lorenzo

Thank you for your feedback. My apartment, located in a prestigious Medici palace right next to the Florence Duomo, is cherished for its authenticity. While the historic terracotta and wooden beams reflect timeless value, all furnishings are modern and curated. I do wish to note that although you booked for two people, I kindly allowed you to host five relatives throughout the entire stay. I would have at least expected some gratitude for this exceptional hospitality, which was not owed but freely offered: a fact you did not mention in your review. Regarding the electricity, you had no actual problems. As with any home, there’s a maximum power capacity. During your stay, with multiple devices from five guests running at once, the breaker tripped a single time. You simply reset it and adjusted usage. No ongoing issue exists. Lastly, you offered to sell me two inflatable floor mattresses you purchased. I declined, suggesting you take them home. After that, your attitude shifted. In any case, I trust you’ll find something that suits you better next time. I wish you all the best.

A couple of guests I was so very fortunate to host in my apartment: two delightful, respectful, enthusiastic and affectionate people. I am very happy with their kind words and glad that they were able to feel comfortable in the apartment and that their stay in the city of Florence was a true vacation for them. I hope to see them again one day and to have the opportunity to host them. Through this review, I send them my most sincere and affectionate regards and I highly recommend them to all hosts as perfect guests. Ciao da Firenze !

Dear Janet, thank you so much for your review and your very kind words. I'm glad you had a good experience and a nice holiday. I have been really happy to meet a part of your family and you. Thank you once more for your kindness and your extremely polite manners ! It would be my pleasure hosting you again in Florence on a future occasion. My very best wishes, ciao ! Chiara

Thank you Micheal for your kind words!! Come back soon in Florence! lorenzo

I am disgusted by your paltry review less than I was by your personality. Your review differs in a negative way just as much as your trash personality and you were very bad representatives of the Israeli people. But your rudeness and misery do not deserve a second more of my attention. My wonderful job, in my wonderful city continues with the same passion and a plenty of lovely tourists and guests ... and my calendar is full. Chiara

Thank you !, thank you so much for your kind words! I hope to host you again in the future. kind regards lorenzo

Chère Famille, c'était un très grand plaisir de vous accueillir et de vous connaître. Vous êtes une famille douce et merveilleuse. Je vous écrit avec joie et vous remercie d'abord pour votre appréciation. Je suis heureuse que vous avez passé un bon séjour à Florence et que vous avez apprécié votre appartement. Je vous souhaite du cœur tout le meilleur ! Chiara

Chère Sophie, c'est avec grand plaisir que J'ai pris connaissance de votre appréciation que Je viens juste de lire. Merci beaucoup !! Je suis d'abord très heureuse d'avoir de vos nouvelles, et puis d'apprendre que l'appartement a contribué à vous faire passer un séjour agréable à Florence. Je serai ravie de vous accueillir une prochaine fois lorsque vous reviendrez ! L'occasion de parler un peu en Français avec vous a été un exercice utile et prècieux ! Merci encore pour votre gentillesse et amabilité. Tous mes voeux de bonheur et ... peut-être à une prochaine fois ! Chiara

Dear Patricia, firstly I want to thank you for your high rating and great appreciation. I'm very glad your husband and you spent a nice vacation in my apartment. I take advantage of your notes just to provide a few accurate information. Thanks Patricia for giving me the opportunity. Both the Palace and the apartment are not old, they are Ancient. The Palace is an historical structure belonged to the Medici-Tornaquinci Family and it is officially recognized and awarded by the Municipality of Florence as a "Protected Historic Residence" as attested by the exposed golden plate in the facade. Duomo apartment offers modern decor and furnishings. No broken or loose floor tiles anyway , I would not allow it. The apartment is fully tiled by "Florentine Cotto" , commonly appreciated as a rarity . I totally respect anyone who prefers modern floor but that kind of "floor covering" is not appropriate or allowed inside our Palace. Just through a binoculars someone could see my guests from the bank officies located in the "next block" .... That building is in fact on the opposite side of the main boulevard towards the Cathedral, and bank employees work too hard during the day ! ^___^ Seriously ... I am not going to to minimize your personal impression Tricia but me, I really think the next block is too far to generate any kind of embarrassment ; however each of the large windows of Duomo apartment has curtain: mainly to satisfy my decorative intent but this even generates an adequate protective situation. No Foods from other guests is left for hygienic issues and that is my personal choice and preference. It is true I do not leave a welcome basket but a bit of sugar, salt, various spices and tea. I would like to describe many other things but... I think I wrote too much. Ciao Tricia , Thanks again for your observations. I send you my most affectionate greetings. Take care ! Chiara

Grazie Emanuela per il bellissimo commento e gli apprezzamenti. Sono davvero contenta, innanzi tutto, che vi siate trovati bene ed abbiate potuto trascorrere un bel soggiorno qui a Firenze; mi fa inoltre immenso piacere che anche il mio piccolo benvenuto sia stato apprezzato. E' stato un grande piacere avervi qui e vi ringrazio sinceramente per la vostra educazione e gentilezza. Se avrete modo e voglia di tornare .. sarete sempre i benvenuti ! Vi auguro tutto il meglio, un saluto affettuoso a tutti. Chiara

Ciao Marsha & Jeff, I am enthusiastic to replay to your comment. I want to point out how lucky I felt for hosting you. You have been such perfect guests and interesting people. I won't forget your kindness, your enthusiasm, and your affectionate manners. I am so glad the apartment met your expectations and needs. You will always be welcome here. I will save great memories of our meeting and I sincerely wish you all the best in life. Grazie mille ! Chiara

Dear Richard, thanks a lot for your comment, for your appreciation and your high vote ! Thank you for your preference. Me too, I would definitely be glad to host you again when you should have a future occasione to come to Florence centre. I totally understand you and all those people who prefer having the bathroom's door exactly adjacent to the bedroom; but some other really appreciate the fact that a few steps from the bedroom offers greater privacy to the bathroom... for a part of my guests the white spacious bathroom with exposed beams in the ceiling is even the favorite room ^___^. Thank you once more for having been such gracious guests. I wish you all the best and a nice summer ! Chiara

Dear Sarah , ciao ! Thanks a lot for your nice comment and your kind opinion. It was estremely nice hosting your family and you. Thanks once more for your preference and for your courtesy. I take advantage of your comment for a clarification: the apartment is always provided with 3 towels per person for the bathroom, a complete supply of linens for the bed and the sofa bed (according to the number of reserved guests) , and for the kitchen. On demand, a baby cot equipped with its own linen is also available. and ....... I usually leave a pen enclosed with the home booklet ! ^______^ Unfortunately , when Sarah and her family arrived to the apartment only one set of towels was left by mistake ! As soon as Sarah called me to kindly ask for the two additional set of towels that were due, she was provided with the missing linens. I apologize again for that inadvertency dear Sarah. I wish to each of you all the best and I thank you once more for having been my pleasant guests.... ciao ! Chiara

Ciao Tom & Julie ! It was my great pleasure to have you as my guests and I greatly appreciated your extremely kind manners and your care for the apartment. It is a joy for me to learn that you felt comfortable and I would like to express you my gratitude for sharing your experience. You will always be welcome with open arms when you should need to return to Florence... Thanks a lot to both of you ! Sincerely, Chiara

Ciao Deborah , thank you ! ... I enjoyed your comment so much ! Even as I write I'm laughing imagining your sisters quarreling in front of the bedroom mirror ... luckily I was not living with you: otherwise we would have been 4 girls fighting over it ^__^ You gave me a great tip Deborah, and I am going to immediately search for a nice full length mirror to add in the bathroom. I am extremely glad to learn you had beautiful days here in Florence and I will be happy to welcome you in the future when you should get another chance to return. Thank you for your good manners, courtesy and cleanliness .. and especially for all the joy you gave me by reading your review. A huge embrace to each of you, GRAZIE MILLE. Chiara
