This was an excellent property. Close to the train station so a taxi was not needed. Also easily walkable to all sights in Florence. Was nice to have so much space. All amenities as shown in the add. Ricardo was great. Met us at the property and was available any time if we needed anything. I would stay here again.

This residence was lovely and rustic. It was near the center of heart of Florence and a short walk away from the Duomo and many other historic locations that are worth visiting. Ricciardo was extremely helpful and lovely. The residence was comfortable and had all the amenities of a home so you did not feel like you were staying anywhere foreign. Would highly recommend as there are many restaurants and shopping areas nearby, and the tourist sites are all walkable distance as well!

We stayed here for a week during spring break and had a wonderful time. The apartment is so close to the train station and many cute restaurants and coffee shops. The beds were so comfortable! That is always my biggest worry but thankfully they were perfect.

Stayed at this location for 3 nights with my wife. What a perfect location for seeing a lot of the major attractions while in Florence. Walking distance to everything. Including some great restaurants and shops. Check in and out with Ricardo could not have been easier. Very helpful and allowed freedom to really enjoy the city. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Florence in February

Our stay was wonderful. Riccardo was very friendly and helpful. The apartment is clean and very comfortable. It located in a great location near to the Santa Novella train station, the tram stop that is there, and a short walk to the central market. The area was very quiet. I would book it again for sure.

Beautiful and convenient location

The property is beautiful and well appointed with modern bathrooms. Be prepared for a lot of stairs (from the lobby, up two levels and from the lower floor with the bedrooms/game room/one bathroom and the upper floor with kitchen/family room/gorgeous patio/2nd bathroom). There are groceries and restaurants within walking distance (3-7 blocks) and the bus stop on Corso Gelone can get you quickly to Ortigia.

Wonderful stay in Firenze

We were four ladies traveling together and this apartment was perfect for us. The neighborhood was quiet and on the edge of the busier tourist areas. Major sites were in walking distance. There were wonderful restaurant’s just down the street. The apartment was clean and well equipped. Our host Ricardo met us at check in and reviewed details of the apartment with us. Our stay was delightful. If I returned to Florence, I would definitely stay there again.
