It was a wonderful stay in a very prime location. Easy to walk to all the major sites in Florence. Lots of local restaurants nearby. Also, Simona was so amazing. She was readily available to answer questions and met us in person to check us in. Highly recommend this property!
Truly a great place to stay. It is within walking distance to everything. Great communication with the owner. The place is spotless and we used all the amenities. Washer, dish washer, kitchen.
Simone was a wonderful host, the apartment was immaculate and the location was perfect. I would stay there anytime I visit Florence! The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were newly renovated and fresh. Overall, our stay was excellent.
The apartment is a real gem. It is very well appointed and extremely comfortable (great beds!). It balances charm with modern conveniences. Sitting on a side street, it is surprisingly quiet even though it is so centrally located. The host, Simona, is absolutely wonderful and goes out of her way to welcome and support guests during their visit. If you want to stay in the heart of the city, this is your place!
This apartment is beautiful, appeared to have been recently remodeled. Incredibly clean. Fantastic location! We really enjoyed our trip & Simone was wonderful.
Beautifully renovated apartment steps away from Piazza Della Signoria. The location is absolutely superb. Simone was also very accommodating and helpful. What a wonderful home away from home!
Amazing property!! We loved the location, very clean and beautiful! Every detail was perfect. The owner so beautiful, explaining things in detail and easy to reach. We would stay here again. The most amazing property we have ever stayed at in Florence! A five star property!!!
Our 6 day stay here was wonderful. Simona was very welcoming and helpful upon arrival. And she stayed in touch to make sure everything was going well. The apartment is fantastic. Great location, very clean and spacious and steps from the Piazza della Signoria. It's also on a side street so very quiet. Don't look any further if you're a group/family of 4 looking for a place to stay in Florence.
Simona has a great flat near the Uffizi. Comfortable and beautifully appointed, near everything. We went to the Loggia Roof Bar in Santo Spirito, had a great dinner at Antico Ristoro di Cambi on.other side of the Arno.
We are a family of 2 adults and 3 kids (17,15.11) and we all adored our stay at this property. We had a double bed in one room and the kids were in 3 x singles in the other room with their own ensuite. Separate lounge area was perfect to chill out in. Checkin was simple and owner was easy to communicate with and highly responsive. Highly recommend as also great location.
We had a great time in Simona’s apartment in a quiet but very central location. Communication was very easy and the apartment is well maintained and well stocked . Highly recommend
Simona was an absolutely amazing host. The check in process was seamless and the property was immaculate and well furnished. We had everything we needed. There was a notebook with lots of information about things to do, restaurants, where to shop/do laundry,etc.
I would stay here again without hesitation! Thank you, Simona for an amazing stay!
This apartment checks all the boxes. Lovely decor, convenient to most of the major attractions, and comfortable. Simona made check in and check out very easy. She is very approachable and ready to help with any concerns. The apartment is big enough for four adults without any problems. I would recommend this place to anyone.
Perfect apartment! Simone is a great person! She was there at the apartment and showed us everything in the apartment. She helped us with taxi reservations. The apartment is super comfortable with everything you need. I will stay here again!
Simona and Francesca have the loveliest vacation home in Florence/Firenze
Book this Apartment, don't wait....This apartment is spotless, convenient to all the the Museums churches and sites. there are great sandwiches right around the corner and Simona gave us referrals for restaurants in the neighbor hood. She gave us instructions how everything works and I cannot say enough about this cozy apartment!
Also the beds were very comfortable and clean.
We had a great stay in Florence. The apartment is in a perfect part of town - very close to everything. Short walk to the Duomo, to the museums, to Ponte Vecchio and Santa Croce. Restaurants everywhere nearby. Small apartment with two bedrooms - great for us as we were traveling with our two teenagers. AC works. Small kitchen - if you were cooking it would work just fine. WiFi worked well I did a couple of work calls from the apartment. Simona and her sister were easy to deal with. Area felt safe. They do have washing machine so we got some laundry done. Overall we would absolutely stay here again.
Pristine and centrally located apartment with the most comfortable beds. Thank you to our host who was the most welcoming and helpful we’ve ever had. She made sure we had a bottle of cold water in the fridge upon our arrival during a heat wave and helped us secure a taxi to the train station when checking out. 5 Stars for excellent service, a luxurious stay and beautiful city!
Great location and walking distance to everything in the historical city centre and a short bus ride from the train station. Very clean apartment exactly as advertised. Very comfortable for a family of 4 with teens . Kitchen had enough to cook make coffee / tea otherwise a lot of eateries around the corner . It was a very easy stay thanks to Simona. We would definitely return if we return to Florence .
The location of this apartment is fantastic! It is right in the middle of things and a short walk from all the major tourist sites but is also quiet and tucked in a small side street. Simona was well organized and thorough and very easy to communicate with. The apartment is well stocked, comfortable and very chic. Every detail was considered including coffee, umbrellas to borrow, shampoo and even a treat and water bottle left for us to enjoy. We enjoyed this stay fully - would highly recommend
To celebrate our 55th anniversary with our daughter & husband. This property is an excellent location to everything you want to see and do in Florence. Our hostess Simona welcomed us and provided excellent information, tips and arranged a taxi back to the airport. The only thing to be aware of is the AC in. The bedrooms is not very strong. Small problem. Would definitely stay here again.
Our host Simona was fantastic, communication was great, quick response and helpful check in instructions including how to get to the apartment. The property is exactly as described, clean and very comfortable for our stay. Simona arranged a taxi for our departure, held our bags for us as our train departed in the late afternoon.
I would stay here again and definitely recommend this property to anyone else visiting Florence. Thank you Simona
