A spacious and clean apartment near the main city centre. A short walk to a grocery store, restaurants, numerous museums, coffee bars, shopping etc. Check in and out was very easy and we had paid parking for our car. Our hosts were very helpful and attentive. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Hosts were extremely hospitable. The apartment was very clean and well appointed. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The location we felt safe. Would be glad to stay again in the future.
Excellent choice for a stay in Florence. The apartment was bright and clean. The hosts, Patrizia and Stefano, were easy to communicate with and were available for assistance.
My family of 5 had the best time. The property is so clean! We appreciated this quiet space away from the hustle and bustle of the historic area. We would definitely choose to stay here again.
Wonderful place for our family while in Florence. We were very comfortable with the space and all the accommodations. The location is great, a bit outside the main center of the city but easy to walk to all the sites. The neighborhood is great with many shops and restaurants. Also an amazing gelato place at the end of the block.
Great place to stay. It was so clean and had everything we needed. Patrizia was there to greet us and always responded quickly to our questions. Location made it easy to walk to the sites and restaurants.
We had the best time in Florence staying at this VRBO near Port de Roma. The vibe of the neighborhood and the shops near by are fantastic. We especially loved the gelato store at the corner. Thank you again for hosting us!

The owners, Stefano and Patrizia, were so pleasant, available and helpful when we had a question or needed support. They met us on arrival and carried our luggage up the stairs - they did the same when we departed 7 days later. The apartment was exceptionally well-equipped and very clean. The location was so close to all amenities including a pharmacy, restaurants, specialty shops, bus stop, taxi stand, etc. We loved, loved this place!!

Well appointed as restaurants, shops, coffee, and market all in walking distance situated amongst the locals . Historical canter is a 30 min leisure walk and felt touristy in comparison. Very comfortable stay here. Would definitely recommend .
We had a comfortable stay, everything we needed was provided.
Not far from the city Centre, some good Restaurants and supermarkets are available nearby.
Would Book the appartment again.
The hosts are amazing at this property, communication is prompt, apartment is clean and is a great location and so much within walking distance! Would highly recommended!
Great apartment, modernised and equipped to a high standard. Ideally located just outside the city centre but within easy walking distance to the centre and all it's fantastic attractions. Would definitely recommend.
I highly recommend this place. It was super clean, in a great location since we didn't want to stay in the middle of the city center. The host was very kind and even helped us secure a parking garage for our rental car. I couldn't have been more pleased and appreciative of her help!
This is a beautiful and comfortable property. Highly recommended. One of the best restaurants we went to during a three week Europe trip was does down from the property. The hosts were friendly and gracious. I really liked being on the other side of the Arno away from the noise at night but a short walk to get to everything by day
Our friends and my husband and I strayed 4 days. It was lovely. The hosts were wonderful. Location was perfect to walk and to enjoy great food! Hopefully we will come again!
The home was very nice and clean. Patrizia and Stefano were very welcoming when we arrived and easy to communicate with before and after checkin. The area is nice and quiet compared to the busy city centre, which is about 20 minutes walk away. The beds were comfortable. There’s lots of good cafés and bars nearby, one we really enjoyed, and that is along the walk towards the city centre is Pitti Express. Overall a great stay!
