Perfect Location… and true time machine!

Perfect location

We really enjoyed our stay. The location is amazing and allows for easy access to all the major sites. We felt safe and secure, and even though it was in the middle of a busy area it was quiet at night. The unit is well equipped with lots of space. The air conditioning works great which was very nice during July!

We loved this location of this property. We especially enjoyed the history. The interior of the unit was just a bit dark. It could use a couple of extra end table lamps but that really did not detract from our visit. It was a great unit.

Family Stay in the Heart of Florence

This apartment was the perfect compliment to our family trip to Florence. From the amazing location in the Pizza Della Signora, entering the huge wooden door gave us the feeling of being transported back to the Renaissance. The place is well stocked and furnished and was surprisingly comfortable given the antiques. Given the location it can sometimes be a little noisy at night as tourists stumble home after too much wine but we found if we turned on the fan the white noise and our long days of touring made it easy to sleep through. Small hiccup at check in as we were on the wrong floor (European elevators start at 0) but we called the host and it was quickly resolved. I would highly recommend this place for small families staying in Florence, we had an amazing time.

Incredible Time at the Time Machine

We loved the apartment we rented while visiting our daughter who is studying abroad in Florence. It is an old palace and right on the Palazzo Vecchio. It was such a perfect location...truly in the heart of the city. It had charm, lovely pictures, the front doors to the building where gorgeous and twenty feet high! We highly recommend.
