Wonderful Stay!

This home is in an excellent location. It had so many fun elements as you see in the pictures. It was clean and the air conditioning was very good. I was concerned about that because I get hot at night, but there were no issues. The owners were friendly, flexible, and responsive. Overall, a wonderful choice for our Florence visit!

This was absolutely perfect for our group of 5 women in an Italian getaway. The location was so much better than we even expected. The host was absolutely lovely and the place made us feel like we were living the life of Italian royalty. Can’t say enough good things about it.

Spectacular central location!!

Our family of six enjoyed the very central location of the property, and the space was perfect for us. Always fun to stay in a building that is older than the country you are visiting from, we enjoyed the interior architecture immensely.

Luxury all around! WAY better than expected!

We spent 2 weeks here with our adult children and their partners (8 of us) visiting our daughter who was studying abroad here in Florence, it was absolutely amazing! Everyone had a bed, 2 full bathrooms, extra large kitchen/dining area, plenty of room for all of us. The host was available for anything and everything we needed. NO complaints at all whatsoever…worth every dime

An absolutely beautiful apartment in the perfect location! Beatrice was wonderfully attentive and made our stay easy and relaxing. My family and I couldn't get enough of the space. The painted ceilings, old spiral staircase and features of this classic building make for a truly one of a kind experience. Note: for the elderly or mobility impaired, getting to the two upstairs bedrooms could be a challenge, but it wasn't too much of a problem for us (ages 26-60). It's a classic Italian apartment in a beautiful building, and almost everything we wanted to do was no more than a 15 minute walk away! At the same time, our street was peaceful and never crowded, making the ideal balance for us. Plus, there's a wine window on our street, and a gorgeous cathedral right around the corner! We couldn't have asked for more! 10/10 life-changing experience!

About the host

Hosted by Elisabetta and Cosimo Spagnoli

Host profile image
My name is Elisabetta, I was born in Florence where I live with my husband, an architect, with my three wonderful cats and my sons when they return home from London where they live. I work for the European University Institute as an event organiser. I love sports, books, nature, travelling and beautiful environments.

Why they chose this property

I grew up in this apartment, my mom still live next door in the other part. My parents were art gallery owners, they have always loved being surrounded by art and antiques, and the apartment has been left exactly as it was when we lived there, full of amazing furniture and pieces of art. If you want to experience the feeling of a real home, furnished to live in, not to rent... well, this is the place.

What makes this property unique

The benefits of this place are many and I could boast them all, but I prefer to let you discover them by reading what one of our previous guests said about us, what better than a real experience?
"The apartment is stunning, including magnificent ceiling frescoes from the 16th century in the first floor bedroom. She gave us a complete tour of what was her childhood home, still owned by her and her family, of the place.
The location of the apartment really couldn't be better. It's a stone's throw from the Santa Croce Basilica, which is one of the most beautiful churches in Florence. It's also a very short walk to the Duomo, Uffizi and other piazzas of interest, as well as the Ponte Vecchio.
The apartment is truly unique, as it is built up around the core living room with vaulted ceilings (that was the old arms room of a 600 year old palace). The spiral stairs are truly one of a kind, and while maybe not appropriate for young children or elderly guests, make staying at this apartment feel like living in Renaissance Florence from the days of old.
However, don't let the authentic experience make you think that you'll be faced with medieval amenities; the apartment is fully upgraded where it counts in the kitchen and bathroom, and the beds were very comfortable in all three bedroom areas."
