Apartment Santo Spirito

We thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful welcome from Giorgio and loved meeting him on the street a couple of times--it felt like we were part of the neighbourhood! The apt was so comfortable and we found great neighborhood shops at Porta Romana which suited our two-week stay. Over Christmas and New Years the garden was too chilly to sit out in, but we enjoyed the birds, the flowers and its tranquility. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, the living room very pleasant for relaxing and a comfortable bed greeted us every night. The whole apartment was just perfect. We picked it based on its location a bit away from the hustle of central Florence as well as its great reviews. We were right! We enjoyed the walk every day to our next adventure and varied the route to suit. Hiking up the hill behind the apt and going for a walk in the afternoon sunshine one day was a special treat even if we did take a wrong turn and had to backtrack. The views were beautiful. Anna and Giorgio are special people who are very accommodating and welcoming. We have never had better!

All the previous reviews are 100% accurate. This lovely apartment is large, comfortable, quiet with all amenities --- modern bathroom and kitchen, satellite TV with English stations and very good WIFI. But, as other reviewers have stated, the best thing about Anna's Casa is the care and guidance given by the owners, Giorgio and Anna. They were incredibly helpful giving us restaurant recommendations, mapping out routes to walk and pointing us to a wonderful museum, Museo del Duomo, a must see. We were there for a week and were treated like family. Each day we walked over the Arno on a different bridge to the Center. Even though it was Winter, we were still able to enjoy the garden in the back which can be viewed from every room in the apartment. When we left, Giorgio arranged a taxi for us to the airport and he was responsible for saving us from a possible disaster. After leaving we didn't realize we had left our computer bag in the apartment; Giorgio contacted the taxi company who contacted the driver and we were able to return in short order to retrieve our bag! Thank you again Anna and Giorgio. Anyone who travels to Florence would be very lucky to stay in this wonderful place.

A wonderful week in the enchanting apartment. Truly loved the size of all the rooms,and felt right at home with the big garden in the back.It was walking distance to all we wanted to see in Florence. Merci à Anna and Giorgio pour leur chaleureuse reception. À très bientôt. Grazie mille!

We 've stayed in central-city apartments in many European cities, but our Oltrarno stay was definitely the best. The apartment was spacious, elegantly furnished, very well provisioned and spotlessly clean. Access to a private back garden meant we enjoyed several relaxing lunches.

The apartment is in an ideal location, quiet, away from the heavy tourist traffic, but within easy walking distance of major sites. Buses and a good supermarket are a 3-minute walk away at Piazza Tasso, where the local kids play in the park.

Anna and Giorgio were generous and thoughtful hosts. We'd love to re-visit this special apartment in its splendid city.
