During the rinovation wonderful and authentique frescoed and patina walls and ceilings were discovered in some parts of the apartment; it was decided that these remain intact, in order to conserve the signs of the time and the mix of various ages, and also to use them as basis for creating a dominant colour palette for the vorious rooms. Thanks to that decision to preserve the old soul of the apartment, history and modern luxury now come toghether very armoniously.

We loved staying at Piti Historical Home! We were a large group of friends and family celebrating our Bachelor and Bachelorette parties. The home was located in the heart of Florence and walking distance to almost everything!!
The views from the balcony were unparalleled and the rooms were very comfortable!
We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you so much!

We added this short visit to Florence after 2 weeks in northern Italy and absolutely loved the city and this fantastic historical home. This property was huge and in exceptional condition and the location across from the Palazzo Pitti was exceptional. Check in and checkout was simple and Erika made the process completely stress free. We highly recommend this as the place to stay in Florence!

From the moment we walked in till the second we left, the property was undoubtedly the best of the best. The location is unbeatable, the apartment itself was clean, historic with all the updates, and felt like home. I’m afraid I’ll never stay in a place again that matches it.

Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted that you’ll cherish these memories for years to come. Thank you for choosing to stay with us!
We had a perfect stay here--the flat was beautifully decorated (the home kept its historical touches, but was also modern), well-appointed, and central to everything. Easy check in with Erica who also arranged our transport to the train station for our departure. We would gladly return!
Everything about our stay was perfect. The apartment is beautiful and centrally located. The pasta cooking lesson and private dinner with Erika was our best experience of the trip. Erika was super helpful with everything, including arranging last minute transportation to the train station for us. I could not recommend Pitti Historical Home any more highly, and we look forward to staying there again.

Our family stayed for 3 nights and had a wonderful time. Erika, the house manager was extremely helpful throughout the stay. The apartment was spacious and very comfortable for our group. We enjoyed exploring the neighborhood and it was a short walk to the main sites near the Duomo.
We would highly recommend the apartment and hope to come back!

Sarah, thank you so much for your kind words. We are so glad to hear how you enjoyed your stay at Pitti Historical Home and how you appreciated the personalized service we offer with Erika as our house manager. We sincerely hope to see you again soon.
The location is so great! Can walk to everything and lots of great food close by. The house was very historical but updated and had plenty of space for 7 people. The beds were huge and the bathrooms were modern. Erika, the manager, made our stay so welcome and easy. She is a chef and did an at home cooking class, where we learned so much and got to eat the delicious food after! An absolutely wonderful experience, would highly recommend!

Our family along with my sisters family party of 8 stayed in this truly magnificent villa for three nights in Florence. We couldn’t be happier with our selection, each room was more beautiful then the next. The location was perfect with a short walk to all of our planned tours and delicious meals. We enjoyed every minute and our meal at the house our first evening prepared by Erika was outstanding. We were immediately made to feel right at home!
You truly can’t go wrong renting this Villa. If we ever return we will definitely stay here again!

This property was fantastic. It perfectly fit our needs in terms of space, comfort and accessibility. We were a group of 4 couples traveling together and this home made our trip so much more enjoyable. The home itself was immaculately presented. I still miss the stunning floors, the thoughtful use of natural materials and the awe-inspiring frescos. I felt surrounded by the history and beauty of Florence just being there! The filtered water was a lifesaver and the espresso machine was a welcome bonus.

Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're thrilled the property met your group's needs and added to the enjoyment of your trip. It's wonderful to hear that the historic details and modern touches like the filtered water and espresso machine made your stay even more special!
We are huge lovers of Florence and visit several times a year. This was our first stay in a private setting. Everything was exactly as stated online. We were very impressed and happy. The only thing that would have made it better was if we could have set the a/c lower-BUT it was crazy hot outside!!!!!
Outstanding everything! Highly recommend the property and Erika was wonderful!! Looking forward to our next stay!
Auguri e grazie mille!!!

Dear Vivian, thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are so happy to read your words. We are so pleased you appreciated the services we offered and of course Erika too! The a/c is set to go to a minimum of 18-19 degrees which is the lowest setting available in Europe - but it was 40 degrees outside so that did not help! It was such a pleasure hosting you and your family and we hope to have the pleasure of meeting you again. Grazie mille! Donatella
The key question is always… would you stay here again. For us that is absolutely yes. Beautiful apartment with everything well thought out for a comfortable stay. Erika, the property manager, is outstanding. She went above and beyond. The owners of this flat own about 9 other rental properties so if I had fewer than 6 people I would ask about one of their other options.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you would absolutely stay here again and that you found the apartment beautifully appointed for a comfortable stay. Erika will be delighted to know that her efforts made a positive impact on your experience. We appreciate your recommendation and will be happy to assist you with any of our other properties should you need options for a smaller group in the future.
Giovanni and Donatella were gracious hosts and their historic home is lovely. The location is perfect- whether you want to explore the Boboli Gardens, Pitti Palace or one of the many chic boutiques, this home is perfectly situated.
The apartment also has every modern convenience, including a dishwasher and washer and dryer, which is very helpful when traveling with young children. We also loved the luxurious bedding, gracious bed and bathrooms, and the thoughtful guest book that shared wonderful recommendations for dining, gelato, cheese, wine, apertivo, coffee, etc.
We look forward to a return visit.

This home is LOVELY & the Owner & her assistant Erika were SO HELPFUL! They arranged dinner reservations, a boat trip (which was sadly cancelled because of weather), a private dinner in the home with music & flowers (handled by Erika), and shopping for initial groceries. The LOCATION is fabulous as well. Only comments beyond fabulous: my 20 something adult kids thought the mattresses were too firm (but I thought there were great), the bathrooms could have more towels, and each bedroom should have an extra blanket.

dear Laurel , thank you so much for your detailed review.
sorry to hear the about extra blankets , this year the summer finished after the storm , and we were not expecting such a temperaure decreased!
If known we would have immtly come with blankets and extra towels , normally we arrange 3 pcts per guests, but we are fully organized for more according to guests need.
we hope to host you back in one of our properties at Florence Luxury home .
Thank you again for your feeback !

It’s not always that the pictures of the apartment online match reality. In this case the PITTI Historical House is far and away more beautiful than shown. History in each room, spacious and comfortable. To start your day on the terrace with a cafe or returning home to sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine is perfetto!
The location is excellent, an easy walk to wherever you wish to go.
Erika is knowledgeable, informative and a very good teacher and chef! And a new friend who became family.
Thanks for a magnificent stay, we would love to return in the future………
