This is a beautiful apartment in a fantastic location! The host provides many recommendations for restaurants and was responsive during our stay. Would love to stay again.
Perfect location for us. A wine window around the corner, an adorable cafe a walk from there walk to everything you want. The apartment checked all the boxes for our family of 5.
Accommodations were exactly as advertised apartment was amazingly beautiful and very centrally located. Host communicated wonderfully, directions to get into the apartment were explained very well. There were stairs to get to the apartment but easily used, not too steep not too narrow. Would LOVE to stay here again when traveling back to Florence. 10/10 would recommend.
The Terrace is a lovely apartment in the heart of Florence. Our family had a very nice time there. The apartment was exactly as described and very quaint.
Beautiful flat in a great location - right in the heart of Florence, but on a nice quiet street. The terrace is gorgeous. Note that there are two flights of fairly steep and narrow stairs to reach the unit.
Super fabulous location, Marie our host was super accommodating and responded to emails quickly. Her book was a great source of information. Her home was quintessential Italian with a beautiful terrace! Everything you need is supplied. Highly recommend Marie’s home if you’re staying in Florence!!
A truly distinctive home filled with personal details. The living space is grand in an Old World way, overlooking a large interior courtyard terrace for private use. The location is central, very close to all the major landmarks, yet amazingly quiet. The kitchen is well equipped, but there are numerous restaurants and cafes in the immediate area as well. No views, but the sounds of the Duomo bells are softly magical. Marianne is a thoughtful and friendly host. A truly memorable stay in splendid Firenze.
Maria! What a fabulous place you have in the heart of Florence. So convenient to have the coffee shop and restaurants nearby. It was so nice meeting you. Thank you for checking on us.

Thank you so much for your nice review! It was a pleasure meeting you. I hope you're safely back home and all is good from your side.Take care! Marie
This apartment was exactly as described and depicted. It is a great location, so close to The Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Santa Croce, etc. Tons of cafes and osterias right outside the door - and do't miss the wine window on the corner!!! It was clean, and great a/c (there was a heatwave while we were there, so that was a bonus!) I highly recommend this place and the owner was quick to respond and easy to work with.
a wonderful location. loved the outdoor space. a special place.

About the host
Hosted by MARIE MIDAVAINE
I'm French and I have been living in Florence for a very long time (almost 30 years). I travel a lot both for my work and my vacation. I've tried to create a space that I'd myself like to find when I am away from home.I want it very clean because I always walk bare feet, I want it with all the comfort because I don't like washing the dishes, I want it quiet because I am on vacation, I want it nice because my home is nice! I speak French, english, italian and learning spanish because my eldest son leaves in Colombia. I couldn't leave without my yoga and my main interest are the oriental philosophies from which I have learned a lot.
Why they chose this property
This property is an incredible mix of art and history. Its location first of all is in a very historic, medieval neighborhood., very lively and 2 steps away from the main sightseeings. The building was built in 1400 and the terrace is very unusual. This property is unique and gives you the flavor of how Florence was at the time of The Renaissance .
What makes this property unique
the big terrace is very unusual in the historical center, the size of the rooms, the frescoes on the ceilings and the renovation trying to maintain the antique character mixed up with modern comfort.
