Location
The property is in the historical area called “Oltrarno”: the name translates to “on the other side of the Arno” and is on the south side of the river. Oltrarno holds the true essence of Florence: a quiet area with many green spaces, making it more relaxing than other parts of the city, making it more and more appreciated by tourists. The area is also famous for its artisans, its beautiful workshops, small shops and studios (especially antique and leather dealers): via Maggio is the heart of Florence’s antique trade. Over the centuries, Oltrarno became a stylish area where many aristocrats built their palaces and villas: the largest of these is definitely Palazzo Pitti, where the Gran Duca di Toscana lived. Palazzo Pitti now hosts many of the city’s most important museums and exhibitions. The area also features the Cappella Brancacci with magnificent frescoes by Masaccio, Masolino e Filippino Lippi, Piazzale Michelangelo with its breathtaking view of Florence, the picturesque church of San Miniato (one of the highest points of the city and the best example of Romanic art in Tuscany) and Ponte Vecchio with its many jewellers and goldsmiths. Palazzo Pitti is also home to the marvellous Boboli gardens, an open-air museum with sculptures dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries.

Maggio Palace has air conditioning which can be used from June to September, heating, wifi, hairdryer, toaster, iron and ironing board.

Magical
Beautiful, very large, historic apartment. Great location just outside of the tourist mayhem. The apartment is a little rustic and could use a couple of small upgrades such as newer shower heads and kitchen utensils. But overall wonderful and would recommend to anyone.

Amazing stay - the staff were so accommodating and helpful. Clean, great location near but far enough away from the tourist side of Florence. Cannot recommend staying at the Maggio Palace enough.

We absolutely thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Maggio Palace - and Palace it is
We absolutely thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Maggio Palace - and Palace it is. It was clean and well appointed. It's 2 blocks from the river on a street lined with beautiful antique stores and not overrun with tourists.. There are many great restaurants nearby as well as a gelateria (try the mandarin - it's really really good), a fresh fruit stand and a cafe for morning coffee and croissants (cornettos). The apartment itself is a work of art. We loved taking an afternoon break sitting in the living room sipping a spritz and gazing at the frescoes. The layout is a bit quirky, but not necessarily in a bad way. It's spacious in all the right places; big living rooms (2 of them); big bed rooms and a big dining room. The kitchen is a bit small - but who wants to cook when you've got all that fabulous pasta at restaurants just a short walk away. The WiFi is a bit hit or miss depending on what room you're in - that's my only real complaint, and it's a small one. Niccolo was spot on time to deliver the keys and was helpful throughout our trip. Overall I highly recommend the Maggio Palace - 10 out of 10.

Magnificent
This is a must stay if you want to live like past Florence royalty. The location to absolutely everthing is a few minute walk away. We were blown away by this stay. Staying here made our Florence stay a memory of a lifetime. The kitchen is very small, but has everything you need. Love, love, loved this property.

Fantastic stay in a real palazzo!
Wonderful stay in a real palazzo. The pictures really don't do it justice. Super convenient location right next to the Ponte Vecchio and Pitti Palace. Tons of fabulous restaurants everywhere. We can't wait to return.
