Guest Reviews
- João (7/5): - Casa confortável e tradicional. Bem localizada Entrada do prédio desagradável e um pouco caro.
- Leah Louise Bell (9/5): Fabulous well equipped apartment in central location - Ricale is in a fantastic central location in Florence, very close to the Santa Maria Novella train station and the tram stop to the airport. There are many great restaurants and cafés nearby, and it is within easy walking distance of the Duomo and other attractions.
Although the area outside is very busy, the apartment itself feels comfortable, quiet, and secure once inside. The apartment had everything we needed, including a well-equipped kitchen with thoughtful supplies such as tea, coffee, cooking oil, salt, and even ground coffee for the stovetop moka pot. Great WiFi, comfortable couch and 2 smart TVs.
The washing machine worked well, and the laundry facilities were very useful. Communication with the property managers was excellent. Mario was very responsive and answered all questions quickly. Before arrival, we were sent clear instructions and helpful videos explaining how to access the property and use appliances such as the TV and washing machine. We would definitely stay here again. We were very happy with our stay. The only things worth mentioning are that access to the apartment requires walking up two floors of stairs, and the shower cubicle is quite small

- simona (10/5): Top - Accoglienza ,pulizia, posizione, tutto perfetto Nulla
- Helen (10/5): Highly recommended! - Private, quiet, secure, comfortable and lovely. Communication and support from management was outstanding. Mario was especially responsive and went the extra mile to solve a scheduling issue for us. The location is perfect. It is central for getting around Florence. It is a 5 minute walk to the Santa Maria Novella train station and less than a 20 minute walk to most of the major sights. The furniture and bed were comfortable and there was plenty of space to spread out. The washing machine was a bonus. Wifi was good and there were plenty of outlets to charge our electronics and comfortable places to sit and relax. The stairs were difficult for us when we had our luggage.
- Chantal (10/5): Florentijns appartement in de buurt van het station - Vlakbij het station. Het zelf inchecken ging eenvoudig door de informatie van de eigenaar. Het appartement is op de 2e verdieping en heeft een goed bed. De meeste bezienswaardigheden zijn op loopafstand. De volgende keer zouden we hier weer willen verblijven.
- Snyder (10/5): -
- Liang (10/5): Excellent - Great location close to train station and easy to get around. Comfortable beds and clean facilities. None
- fabio (9/5): -
- Andi (10/5): - Location No elevator
- Arianna (9/5): Consigliato - Lo stile della casa è particolare ed è stato di nostro gusto, l'host ci ha concesso di effettuare il check in molto prima dell'orario di ingresso. A due passi dalla stazione Santa Maria Novella. Siamo stati veramente bene. Nulla
- Misha (10/5): We enjoy our stay in Ricale. - Location is very close to train station. A very clean and comfortable apartment. We love the decoration. Kitchen equipment and amenities were well supplied. Good internet. We had excellent communication with the owner. He provided clear information. No problem checking in. Nothing. Just bear in mind for older folks, the apartment is on the 3rd floor (US) which is common in Florence. (2nd floor in Europe is 3rd floor in US).
- ANTONIO (8/5): - La proprietà è strategicamente posizionata a soli 5 minuti dalla stazione ferroviaria e a 15 minuti a piedi dal centro città.
L'appartamento si distingue per la sua impeccabile pulizia, l'ottima manutenzione e la completa dotazione di ogni comfort necessario. L'unità immobiliare è situata al secondo piano, non servita da ascensore. La luminosità degli ambienti risulta limitata a causa della prossimità di edifici adiacenti.
- SU ROU (9/5): - 民宿地點真的很方便距離車站很近,工作人員的回覆很即時 房屋看得出來有歲月的痕跡,排水的速度緩慢,洗澡要注意不能讓積水太高,不然會淹出浴室
- Lars (9/5): -
- Isabelle (10/5): Emplacement idéal - Localisation idéale, proche du tramway (à à peine 100m) et tout aussi proche de la gare et à une vingtaine de minutes à pieds des principaux monuments. Magnifique décoration dans l'appartement, avec tout ce qu'il y faut pour passer un très bon séjour Les voisins sont par contre très bruyants (karaoké à 2h du matin en pleine semaine, parlent extrêmement fort dans les escaliers et la télé très fort également) mais à part cela, il n'y a absolument rien à redire c'était parfait
- ANAND (10/5): Great location - Great location.. few meters walk away from railway station.
- Nathalie (10/5): Parfait - Appartement bien situé. Facilité pour communiquer avec les hôtes. Literie très confortable
- 권은희 (10/5): - 호스트가 도착 몇일전부터 체크인하는방법, 각종 사용법을 공유해줘요. 친절하고 왓츠앱으로 소통도 아주 원활하게했어요. 그리고 위치가 아주 좋습니다. 걸어서 1-2분정도면 산타마리아노벨라약국도 있고 역으로 아주 천천히 걸어도 4-5분안에 도착해요. 그래서 피사 등 외곽 다녀오기도 좋구요. 히터가 자동으로 설정되어 온도가 적절했어요. 히터는 그동안 다른곳 숙소에서 보았던것과 달리 새로 설치한것처럼보였고 화장실, 침실, 거실 총 3대에요.그래서 춥지않았던것 같아요. 화장실 수압 좋구요. 침대와 소파베드 있어서 4명가족까지 가능한 숙소에요. 저는 가족끼리 3명 묵었습니다. 아주 만족해요~
- Antonio (10/5): Fantástico - La decoración, el café y el azúcar para coger fuerzas, cama cómoda. Ducha pequeña y piso superior en obras.
- Giulia (8/5): -
- Leah (9/5): -
- Luciano (10/5): - Everything was clean and an early check in was granted
- Ashlee (8/5): -
- Claudine (9/5): SUPER - Emplacement super pratique pour être proche du centre, de l'arrêt de métro pour se rendre à l'hôpital Careggi, pour les achats de base (nous connaissions le quartier).
La réactivité de l'hôte ajoutait une touche de confort. Tout était presque parfait.
Des sous-plats pourraient-être un plus par exemple.

- Testa (10/5): perfetto - Tutto perfetto
- Dimitar (10/5): Excellent location, historical sites in a walking distance, comfortable and clear apartment, immersive in Florentine’s b -

- Fiorenza (10/5): -
- Terzi (9/5): - É esattamente come si vede nelle foto: arredato con squisita eleganza , ha tutto il necessario per passare qualche giorno in tutta comodità. È semplice entrare in autonomia ed è veramente ben ubicato. Abbiamo anche potuto lasciare i bagagli in appartamento qualche ora prima del check in ufficiale, cosa che abbiamo apprezzato e ci ha permesso di visitare la città liberamente. In realtà no possiamo dire che ci sia qualcosa che non ci sia piaciuta. Solo da tener in considerazione: per chi ha limitazioni di mobilità, ci sono due piani di scale senza ascensore; e per chi è molto alto, il letto matrimoniale è di 190 cm.
- Eleni (10/5): -
- Dania (6/5): If location to train station is a priority, this is a good place. Enjoyed the separate living room. - Location was convenient to train station and walkable to many restaurants Small bathroom, tiny washer, no dryer, stairs, construction outside building
- özbeklik (10/5): - konum ve evin dizaynı harika
- Matthew (10/5): The perfect stay for our family! - It was clean, in the perfect location from the train station for a family with lots of luggage and it had everything we needed.
- Vivien (10/5): Romantic and comfy accommodation, perfect for our short stay. - Beautifully decorated. Loved the art work. Very comfortable and handy for the station. Everything we needed for our 2 night stay. We were able to leave our luggage a couple of hours before check-in as we were rushing to do a walking tour. Nothing.
- Leslie (10/5): We had a wonderful time staying at the apartment and exploring Florence! It was central, comfortable, clean and near the - We were so close to the train station which was a dream for arriving and leaving Florence. The apartment was located a short walk away from Officina Profumo Farmaceutica Santa Maria Novella, a wine window and Osteria Pastella. A few things tourists seem to love. It’s very easy to get around by foot and we loved staying at the apartment and exploring the city! The apartment had everything we needed for our stay and we would definitely recommend it.
- Cathy (10/5): Perfect place centrally located and well equipped - The apartment was central and very comfortable. Despite being on a busy street it was very quiet because the windows were on the quiet side and I heard nothing. The personnel was outstanding! Nothing
- Yu Lin (10/5): -
- Simon (10/5): Great apartment! Meeting all our expectations! - It was really clean, well equipped and located very close to the city center. Getting the keys couldn’t have been easier. Very helpful landlords regarding every question or problem. The stairs can be a problem for people with a handicap or medical issues in the leg / knee area but which is compensated by the apartment.
- Bogdan-Mihai (10/5): -
- Dianne (10/5): - Amazing apartment, very close to train station and only a few minutes walk to the main attractions, restaurants etc.. would definitely recommend and stay here again! Nothing

- rachele (9/5): - Che ci fossero anche i condimenti e un sacco di altre cose come the cacao ecc Nulla è andato tutto bene
- wai chun (7/5): Stay in or out, I’ll go again if no that stairs - Close to train station, helpful staff with prompt action, great sofa bed with thick mattress. Second floor without lift, but a narrow smelly dark stairs with wet stinky and rubbish on the floor. Smelly stairs, smelly rubbish bin in the kitchen. The mobile AC makes so much noise.
- Seo (8/5): - 호텔의 위치가 좋아서 주요 명소나 교통편 이용에 불편함이 없었어요. 전반적으로 공간이 잘 정돈되어 있어 머무는 동안 기분 좋게 지낼 수 있었습니다. 특히 인상적이었던 점은 호스트가 넷플릭스와 Apple TV 시청이 가능하도록 세팅해 주셔서, 저녁 시간에도 편하게 즐길 수 있었어요. 다만, 엘리베이터가 없어 짐을 가지고 올라갔다 내려갔다 하는게 좀 힘들었네요
- Carina (9/5): - Die Lage bzw. die Entfernung zum Dom war super! Die Wohnung war komfortabel zu 4 und es war alles nötige vorhanden! Leider ist die Nähe zum Bahnhof spürbar und auch im Stiegenhaus des Apartments hat es etwas streng gerochen.
Die Klimaanlagen im Schlafzimmer war sehr laut.

Snow-white clean towels and linen, cleanliness and comfort. Excellent location: five minutes to the train station and 10 minutes on foot to Republic Square, the whole center is within easy reach! Near the entrance to the apartments there are many restaurants where you can have a quick breakfast and a supermarket with everything you need. Special thanks to the apartment owner, who is always in touch and offers his help in solving issues.

- Amornrat (9/5): However It’s good experience to stay. - Good location, just 2minutes from train station. The room was clean and had everything with vintage style decorations. The kitchen worked well but hood slightly dusty.
- Nancy (8/5): It could have been better. - I loved the decor. I disliked the work that was being done, as it created lots of noise and dust. Also, the walls were not soundproof and we could hear neighbours in the stairwell and above us .

- Aldridge (8/5): Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Florence. - Good location close to the station and all the attractions that we wanted to see. Good eating options nearby. The host was responsive to our questions. The shower was tiny and didn't have much water pressure. Would have also been good to have curtains in the bedroom as the opposite apartment left a light on most nights that shone into the bedroom.
- Ioana (9/5): Superb -
- Noel (10/5): Very comfortable and all facilities are there. - Proximity to all transport. Walking distance to everything in Florence. Close to restaurants and markets. Comfortable bed. Just be aware it is on the second floor and lots of steps.

The room was comfortable and big for a family of 4 restaurant next door and the food was delicious. the stairs were a killer and trying to take up 4 big travel bags up to the 3rd level was a bit difficult but one you are in to was fine.

The hosts were fantastic and very communicative.
They even came straight over to the apartment to check an electrical issue and unobtrusively fixed it, and were so lovely.
An excellent stay.

- Andris (10/5): Great location in an interesting building. - Excellent location close to the rail station and the major attractions in Florence. The building is of an older generation and has character. The facilities are modern, but the cupboards and decor seem to be from between the wars and have character. All very clean even if fading paintwork. Lots of space. Many nice eateries nearby. Not a problem for us, but being on the second floor without an elevator could be an issue for some.
