Guest Reviews

• Stoyanova (10/5): Еxcellent accommodation at the heart of Florence. I recommend it! -
• HERNAN ENRIQUE (10/5): Muy recomendable - El trato de Taro y Johanna, y la ubicación Sin comentarios. Todo bien
• Vincent (10/5): It was an absolute wonderful & enjoyable stay, & would definitely go back again. - Everything- especially the location which is close to all the major sightseeing spots. The interior of the property is tastefully decorated with a feeling of calm & serenity. The host was friendly, extremely informative & helpful. Nothing. I wish I could own one of those apartments!
• Jennifer (8/5): - Great location and very helpful welcome. Didn't have a 'City view'
• Clara (9/5): -
• Heike (10/5): A lovely and very cosy Hotel where everything please us! Taro was very helpful and kind to us. - Alles, von der herzlichen Begrüßung durch den Gastgeber Taro (sehr flexibel auch bei unserer späten Ankunftszeit) mit vielen wertvollen Empfehlungen, der zentralen Lage, von der fussläufig in 5-15 Minuten alles erreichbar war. Das Studio sehr komfortabel und groß, bequemes Bett, ausreichend Steckdosen, Badezimmer groß mit Ablageflächen. Ruhig, obwohl mitten im Zentrum. Sehr schönes Ambiente. Wir durften unser Gepäck nach dem Check-out dort lassen bis zu unserer späten Abreise. Nichts
• Michelle (10/5): Great apartment in an excellent location. - An excellent stay in Florence and perfectly situated. Within minutes of stunning landmarks, cafés and shops. Our apartment was the perfect home base - very spacious and comfortable. Exactly what you want to come home to after a full day out.
• Alexandra (10/5): Parfait ! - L'emplacement est idéal. L'accueil parfait. Les conseils pour visiter la région au top ! Bref, tout était parfait !
• Kitiman (10/5): Great stay and Excellent Host - Our room was facing a small courtyard and it was very quiet at night even with windows open. Room cleaning was done every other day with towels and sheets change. The laundry room downstairs at basement was very functional. For us, location was perfect, near the markets, restaurants, shops, and attractions. The excellent patisserie was just around the corner, so convenient to grab breakfast every morning. Exceeding our expectations.
• Ivy (10/5): Super convenient! - Great location and friendly host N/A
• Anna (10/5): Everything was great. - Very helpful recomendations from the landlord regarding places to go, pluses and minuses of different museums, etc. 5 minutes to the historical center of the city. Cleaning was done properly. If several single sachetes of salt and peper will be added to the kitchen corner, will be great.
• Tricotet Goncalves (5/5): - Le logement, grand, atypique, confortable, propre Le bruit la nuit...sommeil chaotique, réveillés à plusieurs reprises. Cris et personnes qui parlent très fort, très tard dans la nuit. Voitures de livraison à toutes heures de la nuit, quel dommage ce manque de respect. Notre hôte n'y est pour rien...mais cela.nous a gâché notre séjour.
• Pamela (10/5): Clean, comfortable and convenient at a reasonable price. - Very central location. Was able to walk everywhere we went. Was able to walk to the train and bus stations for day trips to other towns. No issues at all.
• Yotetsu (10/5): - 過去の経験では無いくらい、自分のニーズには最高のロケーションでした。はじめのオリエンテーションが日本語で本人は自信が無さそうですでしたが私には完璧でした。オリジナルの地図をベースに教えてもらった事がその時よく理解できなくても、その後での行動時に本当に役に立ちました。ホテルと思わずお部屋を使わせてもらう感覚では、設備も最高でした。率直に素晴らしい！ ありません
• Ivana (10/5): 10 out of 10 :) - The accommodation was excellent—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The location is perfect, right in the city center, just a 10-minute walk to all major attractions. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming.
• Carmen (10/5): Simplemente genial. - La ubicación del alojamiento excelente, muy cómodo y limpio. La atención al cliente estupenda. Ha sido muy grata la estancia. Muy recomendable.
• Beth (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay at Piccolo Residence Apart-Hotel. Taro was there to meet us when we arrived and provided excellent advice about the surrounding area. Check in and check out was easy. The location is perfectly situated right in the middle of Florence. We were able to easily walk to all the sites and the main train station. Our room was very comfortable and I would recommend staying here.
• Hibino (7/5): - 観光にはとても便利でした。徒歩圏内です。 Wifeが室内だと安定しないのでロビーで使ってました。朝ごはんは悪くないけれど、いたって普通ですね
• Kathrin (9/5): Wenn ich noch einmal nach Florenz komme, möchte ich wieder hier übernachten - Die Lage ist natürlich unschlagbar. 3 Minuten zum Duomo, 5 Minuten zur Accademia, tausende Einkaufs- und Speisemöglichkeiten in der unmittelbaren Nähe, und trotzdem im Zimmer herrlich ruhig. Taro, der Manager, ist unglaublich freundlich, hilfsbereit und informativ, immer zu erreichen und gerne bereit, Tipps zu geben wenn es um Essen und Trinken in Florenz geht. Das alte Haus hat Charakter und die Zimmer sind stilvoll und bequem eingerichtet. Tolle dicke weiche Handtücher :) Es war eigentlich alles perfekt - nur der Kühlschrank im Zimmer brummte nachts recht laut.
• Leyla (6/5): recommended but only for 1-2 nights - the location is super - in the center, next street to Piazza del Duomo. the rooms were clean. kitchen is inside - teapot, many cups and plates. bathroom was also clean. the room is too old, even with cracks on the wall - the serious renovation is required. the curtains were dirty. the 2nd floor's ceiling was too low so we had to lower our head to avoid getting hit.
• Alexandra (7/5): - Emplacement au top
• David (10/5): I would definitely stay there again. - Great location, good communication with the rental agency, easy to get into when I arrived as I was met at the door. The apartment was comfortable with plenty of room. No complaints at all.
• Stéphane (9/5): -
• Jami (9/5): Taro was great met us on time and the accommodations were great would definitely stay here again! - Location was great Liked everything
• Kanako (9/5): とてもいい滞在になりました！ - ・ドゥオーモまですぐ行ける好立地。(スーパーも近くに幾つかあって便利) ・部屋が広くて天井が高いお部屋でとてもくつろげた。 ・紅茶セットがあったので茶葉を買ってきてティータイムができて良かった。 ・地下にある洗濯機を借りれて洗濯できたのが便利でした。 ・オーナーさんがこちらのささいな質問(おすすめのご飯やさん等)にも丁寧に答えてくれて親切で沢山貴重な経験ができた。 今回は2階で荷物も重くなかったの で不便さはなかったけどエレベーターがなかったのでスーツケースが重いと降ろす時に少し不便かなと感じた。
• Ana (8/5): Estadía cómoda y central - Muy buena ubicación, anfitrión muy amable, nos dio muy buenas indicaciones/referencias. Muy buena ducha y calefacción (era invierno). Faltaba un poco de limpieza más a fondo (control en utensilios de cocina, alguna funda de sillón).
• Yuki (9/5): 旅行というよりイタリア生活気分を味わえて楽しかった！ - まずオーナーのTAROさんが日本語が堪能なので安心できたし、とても親切な方です。チェックアウト時間も融通を利かせてくださり、駅までのタクシーの手配もしていただきました。部屋はメゾネットタイプだったので家族3人で十分な広さがあり、とても過ごしやすかったです。キッチンに一通りの調理器具やお皿、カトラリーもあるので、TAROさんに教えていただいたスーパーで食材を買ってお部屋でゆっくり食事ができました。立地がとても良いので、観光や買い物の途中で一旦部屋に戻ることができて便利です。Firenzeに連泊をするならホテルよりこちらがおすすめです。又ぜひ利用したいと思います。 シャワーヘッドが安定しなかったですが、大きな問題ではありませんでした。
• AALIND (6/5): Maybe good for quick short 1 day stay but not for 3-5 days - Very good location, close to all main attractions Insufficient air conditioning, bad quality of beds upstairs, lights dont turn on in the stairs when returning late in the evening
• ELISE (9/5): Fantastique - Propriétaire vraiment adorable, solaire et à notre écoute. Studio très bien situé au cœur de la ville, plein de charme, climatisé et ça c'est un bonheur quand il fait très très chaud à l'extérieur. Notre premier séjour à Florence, ville exceptionnelle, restera inoubliable. Merci Taro !
• GILLES (6/5): Bon séjour mzlgré tout - Emplacement idéal près du Duomo, propreté, accueil très professionnel. Couchage manque de confort, très ferme. Équipement cuisine très limité
• Agnieszka (9/5): Szczerze polecam apartament Piccolo, chętnie tu wrócę - Lokalizacja fantastyczna, obiekt bardzo blisko katedry Duomo i wszelkich innych turystycznych atrakcji, apartament wygodny, czysty, często sprzątany, wyposażony we wszystko co niezbędne, gospodarz Toro bardzo pomocny, wszystko dokładnie objaśnił, polecił ciekawe kulinarnie miejsca, kontakt z Toro bardzo dobry. Nie mam negatywnych uwag, wszystko mi się podobało.
• Luciana Kohn (8/5): Excelente - Um quarto muito bom, utensílios de cozinha completos, muito perto de todas as atrações, super recomendo. O aquecimento poderia ser mais forte. Principalmente do banheiro.
• Mila (9/5): - Personal y ubicación fantásticos. Nada
• HWAJU (8/5): -
• Ori (10/5): highly recommended - Great location about 200 meters from the Duomo Very friendly and helpful owner Clean, comfortable, cozy not anything significant
• Christelle (9/5): Je reviendrais - Le cadre, l’emplacement, l’équipement et la propreté Rien
• NIORT (10/5): Une escapade au top dans une ville charmante et une résidence parfaite tant en terme de situation, que de confort ! - Un emplacement idéal , tout près du Duomo et à moins de 5mns à pied du tram T2 qui relie l’aéroport .Accueil au top et tout est fait pour que votre séjour soit réussi ! Une adresse à recommander sans aucun doute Rien
• Ahmed (10/5): - From the reception to the location everything was perfect ,clean ,no noise and confortable all the attractions are within 15 to 20 mn of walk some as close as 3 mn . Nothing it was just perfect
• Midori (10/5): Súper recomendable !! - Muy buena localización , buen espacio , variedad de té y tetera para mi es un plus , muy silencioso y me dejaron hacer late check out sin problemas . La cama un poco dura, la tele muy pequeña y no se oía bien .
• Lidia (9/5): Apartamento muy acogedor en el centro histórico - El personal es muy amable: a nuestra llegada nos estaban esperando y nos dieron muchas indicaciones útiles para nuestra estancia. Los apartamentos son muy cómodos y funcionales, en el centro histórico de Florencia, muy acogedores y bien ambientados.
• Paolo (10/5): Ottimo - Posizione fantastica. Ricevuti con garbo e simpatia. Consigliato a chi vuol fare un soggiorno a Firenze senza lasciare un capitale
• Aloia (10/5): - Posizione e silenzio Tutto è stato perfetto
• Irene (10/5): -
• YOLANDA (8/5): -
• Patrick (9/5): Très bon séjour. - Son emplacement et le calme de l’appartement. Plus de couverts.
• Tóth (10/5): Stílusos, csendes hely. A tulajdonos nagyon kedves és szolgálatkész - Nagyon közel volt a látnivalókhoz. Mindenhová gyalog közlekedtünk. Maga a szoba praktikusan volt berendezve. Jó, hogy volt egy fotel és egy kanapé is. Hasznát vettük a hajszárítónak. Örültünk a másnaponkénti takarításnak. A szoba kissé sötét, mert az udvarra néz. De mivel csak aludni jártunk oda, ez nem volt zavaró.
• VIJAY (10/5): - Central location Professional hosting - Taro was excellent Spacious, airy, atmospheric apartment in an old building Comfortable bed and good bathroom Very clean Would stay here again
• françoise (10/5): -
• Annie De (10/5): Outstanding location and very nice facilities! - We had a wonderful time here! The room was very spacious with plenty of useful furniture. Taro met us at the door with the keys and was extremely accommodating. He advised us on where we could go for all sorts of adventures and meals and helped us stow our bags safely when we left. The bathroom was very nice and had some beautiful soap and shampoo we both enjoyed! The bed was a little hard, but you can't please everyone and I believe a lot of people like that. Also, the bath was definitely just big enough for one person - not that this was otherwise advertised, of course, I think I'm just used to a bigger bath. The room felt loud initially, but when we closed the shutters and turned on the air conditioning a little, it was a perfect cocoon for sleep!
• MARIKO (10/5): -
• Susan (10/5): Quiet peaceful comfortable place to stay while exploring Florence- staff were lovely- highly recommendedbusy city- - Fantastic location with very short walk to duomo, Gallery Acadamia, and restaurants. Large quiet comfortable apartment. Friendly helpful staff. Only minor thing is there is no lift but otherwise great place to stay.
• Joseph (8/5): Highly enjoyed it, would stay again - I liked it’s how clean it was and it’s location Piccolo is the right name for the place
• Ailen (10/5): - Lo recomiendo 100%. La ubicación es excelente ya que está cerca de la estación de tren ( 10/15’ caminando), a una cuadra del Duomo y la calle en donde se encuentra es bastante tranquila con opciones gastronómicas enfrente y todo cerca. El estudio que nos tocó (éramos dos) muy como y amplio. La cocina estaba completa tanto en utensilios y electrodomésticos para cocinar o tomar té/café. 10/10.
• Mayumi (10/5): 快適 - TAROさんの対応がとても丁寧で、チェックイン前の荷物の預かりのために、チェックイン前にもかかわらずアパートで待っていてくださいました。フィレンチェの情報も地図を使ってたくさん教えてくださいました（日本語で）。Duomoに近くて分かりやすいとても便利な場所で、買い物の途中で荷物を置きにアパートに戻ることもできました。中央駅からは徒歩でも行けるところでしたが、荷物があったのでトラムで行きましたが、トラム駅から一直線で分かりやすい場所でした。 特になし
• Tamara (9/5): -
• Martínez (10/5): Our stay was very pleasant; we felt just like at home - I liked the location very central and safe. The host was extremely kind, helpful, and always attentive. The place was also very clean and spacious. Nothing.
• Dirk (8/5): - Ein freundlicher Vermieter. Das Haus liegt zentral, so dass alles gut zu Fuß erreichbar ist Nix
• A (10/5): -
• Larissa (10/5): - Lugar limpíssimo, confortável, espaçoso para um grupo de 4 amigas. O Taro foi muito simpático e solícito no check-in e durante nossa hospedagem. Localização perfeita, perto de tudo. Cozinha bem equipada, chuveiro bom, cama grande, silencioso de noite. Nada.
• Jessica (9/5): -
• Julia (6/5): - Goed locatie, ruime kamer en het contact met het hotel was goed. De kamer lijkt niet op de foto’s. Voornamelijk het bed en de badkamer zijn sterk verouderd. Het bed is erg stevig. Aan één kant voelde je de vering er doorheen. De badkamer (inclusief wc bril) is helemaal vergeeld en beschadigingen in het bad zijn opgevuld met wit spul.
• Yong (9/5): -
• Bethy (10/5): -
• Emma (10/5): Tip: you can catch the tram to and from the train station about 100 metres from the accommodation so you do t have to st - Centrally located, close to all major sights.
• Bella (8/5): A great place to stay in Florence! - We loved the location! It was perfect. Comfortable and spacious rooms. Easy check in and friendly staff. We were also able to check in early. Not the fault of the property at all, but our room didn’t have much natural light.
• ALEX (10/5): -
• Ian (10/5): An idyllic retreat in central Florence - Very well located, spacious apartment with bathroom & small kitchen. Deliciously quiet for such a busy area of Florence. Window overlooking courtyard & modern air conditioning. Bathroom included lovely shampoo & soap Terrific host, very helpful Nothing
• Juan Manuel (7/5): Buena experiencia - La ubicación, cerca de todo lo más importante. Zona tranquila y con restaurantes y una heladería en la misma calle. La parada del tranvía para el aeropuerto T2 , a cinco minutos caminando por la calle Ricasoli. Estuvimos en el apartamento 21, necesitaría una reforma , está viejo en general.Edificio con muchas posibilidades. En las fotos parece más bonito. Calidad precio compensa, sobretodo por la ubicación.
• Bénédicte (8/5): - Emplacement parfait
• Cristina (9/5): -
• Vanessa (9/5): - Great Central location but quiet. Spacious studio with good facilities. Lots of attractions and restaurants close by. Very friendly staff.
• Mahesh (10/5): It was pleasant and comfortable. - Very nice and good location.
• Dietlinde (10/5): - Die Lage war sehr schön. Ein sehr sauberes und gemütliches Studio . Der Hausherr sehr freundlich
• Olivia (8/5): Ottima soluzione - Ottimo appartamento: pulito, dotato di piccola cucina con tutto il necessario, in posizione strategica a due passi dal duomo. La cura per il cliente è ciò che mi ha stupita: l’host è gentile e sempre disponibile alle richieste. Mi ha permesso di tenere la valigia in appartamento oltre l’orario di check-out, permettendomi anche di usufruire della camera prima della partenza.
• Antonia (9/5): -
• HéloïseG (9/5): Génial ! - L'appartement est bien situé et bien équipé. Le personnel est très accueillant. Le matelas était peu confortable.
• Noemi (9/5): Highly recommend - Very close to all the attractions. Host very helpful and kind.
• Adolfo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ferrari (10/5): Thank you for providing such a wonderful home for our month long stay in Florence! - My family and I stayed for over a month at the Piccolo Residence Apartments and we LOVED it. From booking, to arriving, our stay, and our departure, the Piccolo staff exceeded our every expectation. The apartments are fantastic. They have air conditioning, refrigerators with freezer, small stove, sink, a small smart tv, very large full bathroom, kitchen table, and all dish ware. The cleaning staff is so sweet and the owner, Taro, is truly a kind person. It was an absolute pleasure to be a resident at his property. Let me not forget to mention the location! Incredible! Via Ricasoli is the perfect street to stay on. Steps from the Duomo but still far enough off that it feels private. There are great restaurants with one of the top gelato places in the city. There is a grocery store that sells ice on the street and a café with the most delicious croissants literally next-door at number 21. We would not choose a different place to stay and can’t wait to return to Florence! Everything was perfect
• Simonledwidge (10/5): Amazing 👏 - Excellent location. 2 min walk to the Duomo Cathedral and the David statue. Had everything we needed in the apartment for making meals. Excellent air-conditioning for when it's hot. Very spacious apartment. Super well organised. If I came back to Florence would stay here again for sure. Exceeded my expectations. Not 1 complaint
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Odessa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Raghuraj (8/5): Very good -
• Bernadette (9/5): What a fabulous location and spacious & quiet apartment in the middle of Florence! - This was a great find. Large, well maintained and easily accessible to Florence sights including the Duomo. The property manager, Taro was so helpful and made our stay so enjoyable. He provided assistance and when we arrived late due to train issues, Taro welcomed us. Loved the courtyard. The apartment was comfortably cool and all amenities were in working order. The apartment could use a little updating for aesthetic appeal, however it was very comfortable and convenient.
• Paul (10/5): Tano the host is fantastic, great location - Great location, very quiet inside apt and great garden view from the large comfortable room.
• Dragana (10/5): Exceptional - The location is amazing, just one corner from the Duomo, the studio is very big, with all ammenities, the bed is very comfortable, we especially liked the size and the quality of the towels. Would recommend to everybody Since it’s in the old historical building the brick floors don’t look that clean
• Morgan (8/5): Amazing location & lovely apartment. - • very secure building & apartment. • host is very welcoming and informative. • well equipped kitchen area and bathroom. • good aircon and heating. • amazing location 2 minutes from the Duomo and a supermarket 1 minute down the road. • comfy beds. • TV with amazon prime, etc. • room was cleaned during our stay. • bathroom could have done with a uplift/cleaning better however this didn’t affect our stay.
• Mamdouh (10/5): Excellent - Location Nothing
• Nicola (8/5): Great few days in Florence - everything on doorstep from this lovely studio apartment - Location fantastic! Shower over bath
• Paul (8/5): It's in a perfect location, comfortable and clean, with a bit better wifi it would be perfect. - The location was unbelievably good, and easily walkable from the train station. Picking up the keys was very efficient. Inside was very quiet considering how busy it was outside. I was not disturbed at all during my stay. It was comfortable with a very nice bathroom. There are plenty of supermarkets and eateries close by. The wifi was terrible. There are only a couple of power points and neither were close enough to the bed (i.e. to charge mobile while asleep and have the alarm).
• Adam (7/5): Good -
• Polya (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was just perfect- the host was really kind. It was clean and very comfortable. All the facilities you need are available!
• Melanie (9/5): Live like a local in an ideal location at the Piccolo! - We were in a quadruple on the 2nd floor and really enjoyed our stay. Since we were there for 5 nights, we really wanted a place where we could settle in and not feel like we were living in a hotel. Our room had a queen bed and 2 twins upstairs (anyone over 5 feet tall would need to duck in the loft but it wasn't a problem), a kitchen table and sofa. The kitchenette was perfect for enjoying coffee and breakfast in the room, and storing drinks and snacks in the mini refreigerator which is what we typically like to do when travelling. The bathroom was spacious with a tub/shower and a sink with actual counter space (something that seemed to be rare in other Italy hotels), and a hair dryer. Two large closets in the hall, and a very small safe (not big enough for a lapop). We had stayed one night in another apartment, but Piccolo was much better. You could tell that although it's a historic building, Taro has added modern conveniences and caters to travelers (Amazon Prime video access, bright lighting, fully stocked kitchenette etc). Piccolo is on a quiet street with little traffic yet close to coffee shops, a grocery store, restaurants and some of the main sights. It's on the same street as the Accademia Gallery so gets a fair amount of pedestrian traffic but it felt completely safe and was very quiet at night. Taro, the host, was extremely friendly and accommodating. It's in a historic building, and we found there was a fair amount of mildew on the shower grout. Also, the sofa didn't seem very clean with some stains on cushions. Lastly, we had housekeeping service for 2 days during our 5 night stay. The first cleaning was thorough (replaced towels, made the bed, washed the dishes). However the second cleaning only included replacing the towels (bed wasn't made, dirty dishes were left in the sink, instant coffee packets weren't replaced). Not sure if that's standard or not but was a minor inconvenience.
• Yacov (9/5): Superb -
• Kasperalanen (9/5): Nice location and works well if you want to explore Firenze - Nice location and friendly staff There is always a bit cold in the apartments during winter... Luckily, we sorted it out.
• Charles (10/5): An ideal spot in the heart of Florence - We stayed here for nine days over the Christmas Holiday and couldn’t have been more pleased. The apartment was comfortable and spacious with a separate kitchen, wardrobe area and bathroom. Taro, the proprietor, was most welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. There was daily bathroom cleaning and daily fresh towels and a change of bed linens several times. The bathtub was an added plus. The kitchen has a fridge, stovetop, microwave and toaster, with plate and silverware. A washer and dryer are available in the basement. When we stepped out the door the Duomo was two blocks to the right and the Accademia (with Michelangelo’s David) one block to the left. A good supermarket (PAM) is around the corner on via Cavour. We were on the primo piano (second floor), apartment 23, without an elevator, but it looks like there are some ground floor rooms as well. I would return here gladly for another stay The kitchen could use some more electricity. We were warned not to use the microwave and the stovetop at the same time and the stovetop burners take forever to heat up and really can’t boil water. But we were able to adjust. I became a whiz at using the microwave and there was a toaster as well (but it could only be used when not using the microwave).
• Edmund (10/5): Excellent place to stay with an exceptionally helpful host - 1. The host Taro was very responsive and helpful throughout our 5 day stay. 2. He was very knowledgeable about Florence and gave us many useful suggestions. 3. On the day of arrival, he spent about 1 hr explaining the rooms and the major Florentine places of attractions. The apartment was very clean and very well upkept. 4. There were utensils for our use. Everything was working perfectly. 5. The apartment is located in a central and safe area. No noise from the outside during our stay. Nothing.
• Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
• Heather (9/5): Great location, clean with ample space. - We really enjoyed our stay here. The location was perfect and we were walking distance to many attractions that we wanted to see along with fantastic restaurants. Taro was incredibly accommodating and went over everything in person with handing over the keys. He was available throughout our stay with questions and even set up early taxi rides to the airport for us. Highly recommend and we loved having ample space as we were a party of three adults. My only recommendation would be to have egg crates/ foam pads for both loft beds available. Taro brought us over one foam pad for the twin bed but we definitely needed that extra support for both twin beds in the upstairs loft.
• Kazuhiko (8/5): Beautiful - Correspondence of staff Nothing
