The owners, Stefano and Patrizia, were so pleasant, available and helpful when we had a question or needed support. They met us on arrival and carried our luggage up the stairs - they did the same when we departed 7 days later. The apartment was exceptionally well-equipped and very clean. The location was so close to all amenities including a pharmacy, restaurants, specialty shops, bus stop, taxi stand, etc. We loved, loved this place!!

Family in Florence

Wonderful place for our family while in Florence. We were very comfortable with the space and all the accommodations. The location is great, a bit outside the main center of the city but easy to walk to all the sites. The neighborhood is great with many shops and restaurants. Also an amazing gelato place at the end of the block.

The best stay in Florence

We had the best time in Florence staying at this VRBO near Port de Roma. The vibe of the neighborhood and the shops near by are fantastic. We especially loved the gelato store at the corner. Thank you again for hosting us!

Living like a local

Well appointed as restaurants, shops, coffee, and market all in walking distance situated amongst the locals . Historical canter is a 30 min leisure walk and felt touristy in comparison. Very comfortable stay here. Would definitely recommend .

Fantastic!

I highly recommend this place. It was super clean, in a great location since we didn't want to stay in the middle of the city center. The host was very kind and even helped us secure a parking garage for our rental car. I couldn't have been more pleased and appreciative of her help!

Quiet side of the Arno

This is a beautiful and comfortable property. Highly recommended. One of the best restaurants we went to during a three week Europe trip was does down from the property. The hosts were friendly and gracious. I really liked being on the other side of the Arno away from the noise at night but a short walk to get to everything by day

Cute home outside city centre

The home was very nice and clean. Patrizia and Stefano were very welcoming when we arrived and easy to communicate with before and after checkin. The area is nice and quiet compared to the busy city centre, which is about 20 minutes walk away. The beds were comfortable. There’s lots of good cafés and bars nearby, one we really enjoyed, and that is along the walk towards the city centre is Pitti Express. Overall a great stay!

Perfect place in Florence

I stayed here for 5 nights with my 2 daughters. It was a wonderful stay. The hosts were so kind and helpful and even met us as we arrived and helped with our bags. The place is immaculate and very well stocked and we knew if we needed anything we could just send a text, but we never had to. The location is great and we walked to everything at all hours of the day!
