Location perfect with proximity to great restaurants and wine bars. This was a “business” trip for wine study and was a great place to come back to after long days.

Dear George, thanks for your fantastic review. Happy you had a good time in Florence and Camaldoli apt. ciao. Vanni
The apartment is modern with an old world feel. Located on a quiet street with great shops and restaurants near by. You could easily walk from the apt to see all the major sites.

Dear Jennifer, thanks for your great review. Happy you had a nice time here in Florence and CAMALDOLI APT.
This apartment was the perfect respite from long days of touring Florence, the museums and visiting the towns in and around Tuscany. It’s was clean, comfortable, and located in a quiet part of town. Our host was kind and accommodating. He even went above and beyond to return items we left behind. Our stay at this apartment helped to make our visit to Florence fabulous!
Lovely place, top floor. Convenient with a grocery story around the corner and good restaurants nearby. We prefer to stay outside of touristy area. If you like that, then this is the place for you.

Thanks Allison for your great review. Happy you had a good time in Camaldoli APT. Hope to see you here again. Best regards. Vanni
Great location away from the tourists but only a 15 minute walk to the sites. There is a wonderful bakery (Wild Buns), butcher, cafe, and many restaurants nearby. The apartment was so clean, stocked, and felt like home. The manager was super friendly and accommodating. And the cleaning staff did a fantastic job. I own a STR and have high standards and this met them all!

This apartment filled our desire to be out of the heavy tourist areas of Florence, yet be very accessible to anywhere we needed to go. The relatively quiet neighborhood is our favorite.
The spacious apartment had plenty of linens and a well stocked kitchen. Vanni met our arrival and was helpful and very easy to work with.

Thank you so much James for your fantastic review. Happy you had a good time in Florence and CAMALDOLI APT. Ciao. Vanni
The apartment is in a fantastic location on the “other” side of the Arno where crowds are lighter and it is quieter. Vanni was quick to address any questions and very easy to work with. The apartment was open and bright, as represented. I thought about grading it a 9.5/10, due to sometimes unreliable internet service until I realized this may be a city-wide issue, so in fairness I could not penalize this property for something outside their control.

Great Guest, kind, polite, delicious. Happy to have Leilani in Apt Camaldoli and hope to see her again. Recommended! v.
Great location, quiet at night but close walking distance to restaurants and bars. Also very reasonable walking distance from the major attractions. The in room air conditioning units were a lifesaver as it was HOT during our time here. Only issue was the A/C unit in the main living room was not working- this did not affect us too much. We spent most of our time out and about and then would reprieve to our cool bedrooms when back at the apartment. Vanni was very kind and easy to work with. He graciously carried my bag up the stairs upon our arrival without me asking.

Thank you so much Morgan for your great review. I'm happy you had a good time in Camaldoli APT and thanks for your patience with the air conditioning in the living room.. Technician came and removed some dirt from the internal fan, i.e. ac was ok and cold but without blowing. it was hot in Florence those days. ciao . All the best to you and Amanda. Vanni
Lovely place in a great, quiet neighborhood. Comfortable, clean, well equipped apartment. Conveniences nearby, great restaurants, short walk to attractions.

CIAO MICHAEL - HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM FLORENCE! VANNI
Muy bueno. Bonito, limpio, con todo lo necesario. Incluso los dejaron una botella de vino de bienvenida.
Tuvimos días de mucho calor. El aire acondicionado no conseguía enfriar la parte de arriba donde dormían 2 niños. El propietario vino con rapidez a solucionar el problema
