The location was perfect. The apartment was absolutely immaculate. The host Gianni was so good if we needed anything we just texted him and immediately got an answer. I can’t say enough how nice everything was and the convenience of a grocery store and restaurants right there. It was terrific.

This location just over the Arno River was perfect for our adult family of five. It was a quiet space, but so convenient to everything in Florence city center. There’s a grocery store, restaurants, and gelato just around the corner. Having two bathrooms and separate rooms for everyone was ideal. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Florence Apartment

The location is fantastic, close enough to walk to everything and still on a quiet street. The host met us upon arrival and explained the apartment thoroughly, and there was also a guide book in English to things like appliances and water.Overall, just a great visit and our family enjoyed being able to stay here.

Perfect for a Family or Group

This property worked great for a group of 5-7. The location is great...not far from everything, but far enough removed that you don't deal with the crowds. The neighborhood has several good restaurants, bars, a market, and a gelato shop. The host was incredibly nice, informative, and accommodating. Be aware that while there is an elevator, it is very small. Most of us took the 4-flights of steps each time.

This is a very large and clean apartment in a great central location but not really a palace as advertised. There is artwork from 6th graders framed on the walls and bathrooms are small with weak showers.The host communication and check in and check out were great- no problems there.Apartment lacked dryer as advertised so we were stuck with wet towels for 3 days. Bsic amenities such as salt, coffee, milk and bottled water- just a small amount to make one feel welcome were lacking. Comfortable and convenistay but nothing flash and not a palace.

Response from VrboOwner on 13 Dec, 2025
I'm sorry you didn't realize you were in a real 14th-century palace that belonged to the noble Soderini family, in the only neighborhood in Florence that remains as it was in the 14th century, and therefore full of charm (Lonely Planet calls it one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world)! The apartment has been recently renovated and retains its 5-meter-high ceilings with ancient wooden beams. The walls are hung with modern art paintings, some of which are valuable, which I inherited from my uncle, who was a collector. Many guests wanted to buy them.
