Wonderful apartment in Florence

The apartment was exactly as pictured online. It was very clean and had everything we needed (including coffee pods and sugar.). Communication with the property manager was fast and easy. He allowed us to drop off our luggage before check in which we really appreciated. It is in a great location close to everything. We would stay again.

Stunning views, spectacular location

We wanted to stay somewhere near the center of Florence but far enough from the tourists where we could feel immersed…and this apartment absolutely delivered. The neighborhood was perfect with its countless amazing restaurants, and the views of the Duomo from the living room are even better than the pictures in the listing. And Daniela was an excellent host! A ten star experience, couldn’t have been happier. Thanks Daniela!

Spacious apartment in an excellent location with a view of the Duomo from the living room window

The apartment easily accommodated three adults and three kids for four nights. It’s centrally located to many of the top sites in Florence. There were plenty of restaurants and even a bakery around the corner. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Florence and the accommodation was perfect

Fantastic place to stay in Florence

We absolutely loved our week stay here. The owner is a pleasure to deal with and made our stay easy and comfortable. The view from the apartment of the Duomo is breathtaking, and the location is perfect for getting around Florence. There is a grocery store within a few minutes walk and plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. The apartment is well appointed and was very comfortable for our family vacation. At the end of the week, none of us wanted to leave this beautiful city and this amazing apartment! This was the perfect place to enjoy our Italian holiday!!

Perfect for a group of 6!

The rooftop apartment was perfect for our family of 6. Gorgeous views of the rooftop, Duomo, Bell Tower, and beautiful sunsets every night. Spacious apartment with four bedrooms and three bathrooms all clean and nicely decorated. Big TV in the living room for the kids when they need a break. It was nice that the kitchen was stocked with coffee, tea, and laundry detergent for the washing machine. A/C works extremely well. We even used the sewing kit in one of the drawers to fix the button on my husband’s shorts! We could have stayed for a week, no problem! Thank you Daniela, for being such a wonderful property manager, and thank you Max for the excellent and thorough checkin! We will be back! Kathryn G.

Perfect location and ample space!

We had 2 families (4 adults, 4 kids) stay at the property and had plenty of room to feel comfortable and enjoy each others company. The location is perfect with walking distance to all major sites and right around the corner from the Duomo. The view is spectacular and it was wonderful to open the windows and hear the bells on Easter morning. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need and the laundry was helpful and easy to use. The elevator is smaller and the apartment is on the 7th floor, but we had no issues taking turns splitting up and walking up or waiting turns for use. Daniela was extremely helpful with questions before we arrived and even went so far as to go to a restaurant we wanted to dine at to make a reservation. Max was easy to communicate with and made check in easy. I would highly recommend the apartment for families or large groups!

Stunning! Spectacular! Perfection!

Stunning penthouse! Clean to the point of sterility, every possible accommodation has been made for your comfort and convenience. The most spectacular view in all of Florence. The host(s) are kind, thoughtful, and ever-so-helpful. There is absolutely nothing lacking here. Elevator, washer, dryer, wifi, plenty of room, fluffy towels, all the kitchen items you could possibly desire. We cannot say enough positive things about our stay here.

Amazing Stay in this Great Apartment

We had an incredible stay at this lovely apartment. It's on the top level with beautiful views of the Duomo and the towers we had an incredible stay at this lovely apartment. It's on the top level with beautiful views of the City. The apartment is very spacious with everything you would need for your stay. A great location close to all major sites. Most important was the hospitality of the owners. From you welcome treats to being available for all of our needs. They were even willing to drop off a shirt we left behind at the apartment. We hope the next guests will enjoy the property as much as we did. Ciao

Outstanding Stay in Florence!

This apartment (on the seventh floor of an old, old building with elevator) was outstanding in every way. We spent a few days in Florence with our adult children, their spouses, and our preteen grandchildren. Max, the property manager, met us at the front door after prompt and easy text communication. His instructions about the little things (How does the front door work, HVAC, window locks, etc) were great. He had good advice about area details like where the easiest grocery was, things like that. He made settling in easy. The location couldn't be beat, a couple of blocks from the Duomo, five minutes' stroll from the Ponte Vecchio. The decor was beautiful and modern. The mattresses were very comfortable. The kitchen had all the appliances you have in your own home and there was a utility room off the kitchen with full-size washer and dryer. The apartment came stocked with the little things that can drive you nuts when they're absent, such as sugar, coffee filters, coffee, oil, spices, dishwasher pods, etc etc. All in all, it was a wonderful stay. For a return trip to Florence, we'd absolutely stay there again! Highly recommended.

Wonderful apartment! Great location with a view!

This apartment was very modern with all the conveniences and superb location. I’ve read previous reviews where people complained of the hot water, we had no issues with hot water and we have a family of six adults. The elevator was fine, we just loaded all luggage and young adults walked up. Not a problem. The bells were a bonus but honestly you hear them everywhere in Florence. This apartment was in a perfect location, close to a lot of good restaurants and bars. Close to sites, as well. Plenty of space and AC worked beautifully! My only complaint was that you had to be out by 10am and could not check in any earlier than 3, but maybe all flat rentals work that way in Florence. Other cities we could check in at noon. They did allow us to drop off luggage early. Great place!

About the host

Hosted by Daniela Lioce

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Daniela. I'm from southern Italy but I've been living in Florence for more than 35 years, my 2 kids were born here. I've been involved in touristic rentals since year 2000 starting with american kids studing abraod. My husband Gustavo (in the picture) is a retired criminal lawyer with a strong passion for detective stories and fishing. He owns a boat and loves to spend there as much time as possible; the sea is his element. He is from Naples (a very beautiful city that I suggest anyone to visit ) . We both love cooking for our large family and friends. We also love wine tasting and traveling. I have a passion for Interior Design and I'm the one who renovates the apartments. The other guy in the picture is my son Luca, 20 y.o. now. He is studing at the University of Florence to be and Engeneer. He is a skipper and a Rafting guide. If you would like to enjoy Rafting in the Arno or in another river in Tuscany ask him!

Why they chose this property

This used to be our family home. Now that our kids are all grown up, we became grandparents so we needed a larger home to welcome all of them.

What makes this property unique

We love this apartment. The unique benefits are the light and the silence, very hard to find in the center of Florence. During Spring you can see the swallows play in the Sunset and I ensure you that this will restore your spirit and open your heart
