Guest Reviews
- alzharani (7/5): - الشقة نظيفة وجميلة وبداخلها حديقة وخارج الشقة ايضا وموقعها ممتاز وحيوي قريب من محطة القطار وسنتر فلورنس وفيها غسالة صحون لكن للاسف الشديد رغم اني اخترت يكون فيها غسالة ملابس طلعت تحت الشقه تنزلون الدور الارضي وتدفعون رسوم غسيل 3 يورو وتنشيف 1 يورو والمنظفات عليكم وكان متعب جدا هالشي فرق لو كان في نفس الشقة هذا أكثر شي زعلني ومااعجبني وعندهم مكوى بس ماعندهم كواية عدم وجود غسالة ملابس بنفس الشقة الا كل شي رائع

- TZUYI (9/5): - 地點位置很好,而且位於社區很安全,社區非常漂亮舒適
- Ivaskeviciene (7/5): Patenkinamai - Butas tvarkingas, nera toli nuo lankytinų vietų. Turi terasą. Atvykus nerasi nei kavos, nei arbatos. Terasos kiemelis apžėlęs žolėmis, reiktų susitvarkyti. Užsakant paslaugą mažai informacijos dėl raktų pasiėmimo ir atvykimo, bendravo ne labai maloniai.
- Raphael15 (10/5): - L'emplacement Rien
- Melissa (9/5): - Super convenient location walking distance to the station and to the central market and a great coffee shop and pizza nearby. comfortable beds and window blinds so slept well. cleaning staff whatsapped us to inform when we left a phone on the bed so we had enough time to go back and collect it. Lighting is not great in the kitchen or bathroom, foyer lighting flickers like strobe lighting at night when trying to open the door, no bathroom fan.
- Kimberlin (8/5): Overall, my stay was comfortable and very convenient for exploring Florence, but it felt quite basic and not very luxuri - What I liked about Borgo Guelfo VIII in Florence was its excellent location very close to the city center and main attractions. It felt really convenient because I could easily walk to places like the train station and the Duomo. The apartment was also cozy, clean, and had a nice quiet courtyard that made it feel peaceful. I appreciated that it had good facilities like WiFi and air conditioning, making the stay comfortable. Overall, it was a great mix of central location and relaxing atmosphere. What I didn’t like about Borgo Guelfo VIII in Florence was that it felt a bit basic compared to a hotel, especially in terms of services and amenities. The check-in was quite self-service, so it didn’t feel very personal. The apartment also felt a bit small and didn’t have much natural light. At times it wasn’t as quiet as I expected depending on other guests in the building
- montserrat (10/5): -
- Alain (8/5): - Proximité .
Belle surface , bonne literie, petite jardin . Manque de vaisselle et ustensiles pour la cuisine.
Et surtout d une cafetière digne de ce nom!
- Margarida (8/5): Apartamento muito giro, localização excelente, welcome pelos afintrioes e tempo de resposta excelente. - Resposta e disponibilidade do anfitrião, localização e decoração. Algum cheiro a mofo
- Elizabeth (9/5): -
- Rocio (6/5): Incómodo y poco limpio - Tenía varios bares cerca para comer y cenar La cama súper incómoda, las puertas del patio no cierran bien y las persianas rotas. Estaba sucio, las paredes llenas de mosquitos aplastados y en la cocina una sartén sucia.
- Xhensila (7/5): -
- QINGQING (8/5): 值得推荐 - 位置很好,离火车站美术馆教堂中央市场这些都很近,独享一个小花园很漂亮,冰箱烤箱洗碗机都有,做饭很方便。床也很舒服,还有个沙发床,可以住四个人。整体非常推荐 洗衣机是在负一楼,公用的,需要投币付费,不过房间门上有个提示,住宿客人可以用小钥匙免费使用洗衣机。但是没有钥匙能够启动洗衣机,然后我们打电话去咨询房东(或者叫管家),他说会给我们洗衣费。沟通过程不是很愉快,对面有点不耐烦。最后给我们纸币,还需要自己去换成硬币。
- Gaelle (7/5): - Emplacement idéal et au calme. Propreté juste , éclairage limite dans le salon .
- gaston guido (9/5): Excelente dto cerca de todo - Ubicación, el edificio, el patio, las habitaciones son amplias y comodas, el baño en muy buen estado, el patio tendrían que tener una mención especial ya que no lo especifica o no lo vi antes de reservar y realmente es un espacio genial Lo que debería mejorar es la cocina, poca iluminación y la limpieza debajo de las camas
- Anaïs (8/5): -
- χαραλαμπος (10/5): -
- ANA VILLELA (9/5): Muy agradable - La ubicacion, el personal y en general el alojamiento aunque quien nos entrego las llaves fue muy amable, nos mantuvo esperando un poco mas de media hora para entrar.
- Oznur (1/5): Disappointment - Nothing 1-Our children were attacked and bitten by mosquitos
When we reported to the contact person she was not helpful at all. First of all she said that didn’t my colleague give you any mosquito liquid? And then she blames us to not asking liquid before we come to the property as if we had to know. She was almost argumentative and tried to make us belive that what we experienced was a normal routine.
2-The apartment where we stayed has a lot of electrical issues such as most of the sockets were not working
3-The door to the garden could not be closed from the garden side
- Jorge (7/5): Buena ubicacion - La ubicacion No funcionaba el wifi
- Benedetta (10/5): Bello e confortevole, eravamo 4 ragazze a capodanno e ci siamo trovate molto bene. - La proprietaria é stata gentilissima e molto disponibile, avevamo il suo numero e potevamo scriverle su whatsapp in qualsiasi momento.
L’appartamento era molto comodo e pulito, con anche un giardinetto privato.
La posizione era ottima dato che con una breve camminata si poteva raggiungere tutto e si trovava in una via piena di ristoranti.
Inoltre l’appartamento si trovava dentro una palazzina che a sua volta era dentro ad un villaggio, perciò ci sentivamo molto sicure.
- Patricia A (10/5): Beautiful and great location - Everything. Location was perfect. The complex is beautiful. The apartment is very well set and excellent size That they charge the apartment parking as a parking in the street. It is already expensive to stay in the apartment plus the council taxes plus the parking…
- Sanela (2/5): Nie wieder - Nur die Lage war Super Schade für das Geld...alles Schmutzig, Schimmel überall, keine Bettwäsche sonder über die Decke waren zwei Leintucher. Wir haben 30min für Schlüssel gewartet. Der liebe Herr kam ohne Entschuldigung sonder sagte er nur erste Stock 🫣. Schade weil die Lage ist echt toll.
- Franca (8/5): - Bellissima struttura in centro ma chiuso in un borgo dove c'è tranquillità e se andate in estate potete godervi il giardino in relax..Se dovessi tornare sicuramente torneremo qui grazie Aggiungere un po di cartaigienica in più e magari caffe
- Malina (10/5): Great place to stay in the historic center of Florence - Excellent location, close to the railway station and all central places of interest. The apartment is really cosy, equipped with everything you may need for a short stay. We loved the wonderful garden. And the host was very attentive and helpful. I highly recommend the place!
- Alessandro (10/5): -
- Micheline (9/5): Très bon séjour au centre de Florence -
- Alex (10/5): - divano letto scomodo
- Clemensen (10/5): Tranquil oasis in the heart of Florence - Spacious accommodation in the heart of Florence even though you wouldn’t know it once inside. The little courtyard (private) is delightful and was very handy to have access to laundry.
Once you step outside you are surrounded by the amenities of Florence, a short walk to the Duomo, amazing restaurants, shopping and train station.
- Dimitar (8/5): Super läge, ränt och fräsch - Fint fräsch med bra läge nära tåg station, och nära centrum. Köket kunde vara mer utrustad, med kaffe maskin etc..

- Anna Bellandi (9/5): -
- ferchu75 (10/5): - Lo práctico que es de distancia al tren 6 minutos caminando, calle con negocios y restaurantes muy lindos que te dejan en el centro de la ciudad, a minutos de todo, tranquilo sin ruidos y muy bello.
- Anna (5/5): Будьте внимательны - Мы пропустили информацию о том, что заселени с 15 до 19, будьте внимательны при бронировании, мы приехали позже с уставшими детьми и очень попросили нам помочь, владельцы встали в наше положение и приехали - открыли нам апартаменты. Локация просто идеальная, окна выходят во внутренний двор , поэтому спать тихо, но апартаменты на оживленной улице и рядом можно поесть/купить продуктов и буквально за 7-10мин дойти до главных достопримечательностей Грязно, ноги прилипали к полу, в ванной просто вековая пыль на люстрах, большая часть лампочек в квартире не горела, в раковине в ванной не утекала вода, короче хотелось поскорее уехать, за такие деньги это очень разочаровало. Паркинг оказался платным, мы думали, что парковочное место входит в стоимость. Так же при бронировании было показано, что будет номер на первом этаже с садом, но был номер на 3 этаже, это тоже немного расстроило.
- jessica (7/5): - Posizione
Residenza calma fuori dalla frenesia della strada
Staff molto gentile
Parcheggio, abbiamo potuto lasciare la macchina per qualche ora dopo il check out
Terrazza molto ampia Divano letto molto scomodo e porta d'ingresso per niente isolata a livello sonoro. Si sente tutto quello che succede nel corridoio.
Appartamento lasciato un po' andare con tanti dettagli che davano un'aria trasandata: porte dei mobili storte, prese in cattivo stato, muffa sulla finestra del bagno
Altri elementi non funzionali: tapparelle del salotto che non si chiudono, porta della doccia che non scivola correttamente
- Rosette (10/5): Very good appartment - All is good
Only the gel douche and shampoo are not enough Nothing
- Irea (10/5): Прекрасная квартира обязательно в нее вернемся - Прекрасное расположение квартиры. Очень удобно , что есть подземная стоянка . Прекрасные условия жизни в квартире , было все необходимое . Прекрасный сад . Квартира превзошла все ожидания . Такого не существует

- Dinal (9/5): Superb -
- Chi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Padropez (3/5): A massive let down - The location was the best part. We were allowed earlier than check in. Ok, you asked....despite the location (and the garden), this was a poorly maintained and run establishment (Borgo Guelfo VIII). Granted, we were allowed in a bit earlier to our apartment even though they said it still wasn't ready (Don't know what they had to sort- they admitted they remove ALL things-I'll explain shortly), the pictures on the website do not reflect the unprofessional finishings and TLC this evidently needs. From the get go, it was advertised as luxury- it is not- no complementary tea/ coffee/ sugar to welcome you (no cushions or homely touches, little to no (matching) wine glasses, no dish towels (we love to cook too), no dishwasher tablets (even 1 or 2), no brush/ mop to clean up- no laundry service- poor cutlery/ cooking accessories/ utensils, the garden, no kettle, non- working toaster, an iron but no ironing board, no mosquito nets, and despite having the initial appearance of being quaint, the garden was unkempt and overgrown with no subbed cushions, toilet fittings falling off the wall, shower door seals falling off, taps not secured properly, door hinges held by one fitting, we were told NOT to touch the heating but did not tell us about any air conditioning usage, the dishwasher could not be used at the same time as the electric oven (who ever heard of that?!), the paint was shabby and unfinished, the bedding was ill fitting and minimal, the lighting was brutal- and why the hell was there a coat stand in the living room?! The house was depressing to come back to after being out sightseeing...if only the person who owned this place had been oved...I'll upload more pictures from my other camera....the location deserved better housing and owners than the one who currently has it.

DO NOT RENT.
- Najlaa (9/5): Superb - Location was great The bed wasn't comfortable and the Internet poor in the apartment
- Nicoletta (8/5): Good for a short stay near train station and 10 min walk from main Florence center - Location A bit outdated, not a lot of cooking supplies.
- Kolya (9/5): Great place to stay in Firenze! - The apartment had a great location: it was located just five minutes from the train station and a 10-15-minute walk from the city center (the Cathedral). The staff were very kind and helpful. The apartment had its own private terrace, although we couldn't use it due to the weather and mosquitoes. The apartment also had a nice design (but needs some fixing).
- Polina (8/5): Very good -
- David (8/5): A tranquil oasis close to the city center and train station - Our host met us and explained how to get in/out of the property which was in a 'gated' community. Ideally located - a very short walk to both the train station and city center, with shops and restaurants very close by - but it was very peaceful as it is in its own courtyard. The accommodation was a good size with 2 x air conditioning units which provided good coverage for three rooms. The property was clean, with the added benefit of communal coin-op washing and drying facilities below. Several bulbs in the bedroom were out, and the lighting in the bathroom was very poor. Mentioned but not rectified whilst we were there. Also the bed headboard had been replaced, but the surrounding area not painted so looked a bit scruffy. Minor points which did not significantly detract from the overall experience.
- Michela (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chris (10/5): Exceptional - Great location. Easy to train and inner city. Excellent base. Laundry downstairs was great. Private garden was lovely.
- Suzanne (10/5): Exceptional - This was the most amazing accommodation and so centrally located! It has its own private garden to relax in a well. The host Daniela was lovely and went over and above to make sure we were comfortable. A real favourite!
- Mariana (8/5): Beautiful garden, nice apartment. - It is an apartment on a Condo. This condo has a beautiful garden, and the apartment we stayed had also a lovely private garden. And It is was clean, and nice. The only thing is the mattress of the queen size bed. It nerds to change it. And my daughters shared a sofa bed, and they said it was very uncomfortable.
- Kon (8/5): The location of the apartment was very good. The apartment block was very quiet. And the apartment was clean. - The property was is a good location. It was clean and comfortable. Daniela was very helpful. Nice lady. Maybe a few more towels could be left. The garden outside was left with cigarette butts and not very clean or welcoming outside. It could be a very beautiful garden.
- Helen (3/5): Very very disappointed, with a small sniping of money spent this could so easily be 10/10 but was 4 - See my previous review, we had two separate booking but stayed five consecutive nights I would not recommend anyone stay here if they want a good nights sleep. Air con unit in bedroom not working, mattress hideous, mattress protector stained, one pillow each thin & lumpy. Three of five lightbulbs in bedroom ceiling light not working, plug sockets not secure to wall. Minimal poor kitchen equipment
- Helen (4/5): Disappointing - Location great. Quiet and tranquil but easy walk to Florence sights. Lovely secure complex well maintained communal areas
Garden was lovely. For the price of what we paid for this 5 night stay the owners could easily make this a top rated property. Plug sockets loose, standard of decor poor (worn, scuffed paint), minimal crockery & cutlery, we had to buy tall glasses for cold drinks as there were only tiny tumblers. mattress in bedroom terrible (sunken in middle), Bed was appalling- only 2 thin pillows on main bed which were awful and lumpy, the spare pillows for the sofa bed were just as bad and unusable & no spare pillowcases anyway, the mattress protector was stained, headboard had been replaced but not painted round. Lots of storage space in bedroom but top rails to high we could only use half the wardrobe space. Iron but no ironing board. Wi-Fi very poor. Although garden was very nice it had long grass growing through paving stones. Such a shame as it could all so easily be rectified
- David (10/5): Exceptional - Very modern, comfortable and lovely back patio. The host allowed us early checkin because of our luggage
- Yee (7/5): Good -
- Jenny (10/5): Exceptional -
- Olivera (8/5): Very good -
- I (8/5): Very good - Location is very convenient and everywhere is walk distance.
The local market is just behind the apartment, which is very nice to take the local fresh produce.
There is a small garden in the apartment, it’s very nice to have a breakfast under the sun in Florence -The sofa bed is not very comfortable.
-it’s a bit noise during the night because there is so many birds living in the trees surrounding the house.
- Spartak (9/5): Superb -
- Leonard (10/5): Awesome place to stay in Florence. Relax in quiet comfort in a beautiful garden. - Great location near the San Lorenzo market. Quiet street. Apartment was roomy and the outdoor garden was large and beautiful. Easy walk from train station even with luggage.
- Omar (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ashraf (5/5): Wouldn't recommend it - not worth the money. Look elsewhere - Location was good Shocking beds specially the pull out Matress
Paint work unfinished
5./10
No shampoo or toiletries
Pictures looked much better than it actually was
Want to charge extra for after 8.00pmcheckin
- George (8/5): Very good -
- Melanie (10/5): Great location, comforts of home - Beautiful room and lovely private garden area. Good kitchen facilities. Loved the espresso pot. Very secure with a locked gate and strong locks into the apartment. Big comfy bed. Clean facilities. Absolutely fabulous location!!! Needed something to manage the mosquitoes and other insects that came inside when the doors to the garden were open, this was during the day. The liquid-based plug-in insect repellent was empty. We were going to buy bug spray, but it was pricey for such a short stay. Having one key meant we needed to coordinate access because one of us was attending a conference. Otherwise, loved this place.
- Alana (7/5): Location is great but it NEEDS a good clean. - Pros: The location was perfect!!!
The outdoor space is great as is the space in the apartment for one couple. It is quiet and secure and the option to do laundry is great.
Cons: ZERO light in the kitchen area so it is very difficult to see,. The lighting in the bathroom is horrible… very very dim. There was no broom to sweep the floor after prepping snacks and food and no dish soap .
Our question/request for fresh towels (we were there one week) went unanswered.
The shower door does not slide well at all. The mound on the shower grout was abundant.
The floor is absolutely filthy turning feet black walking from bedroom to bathroom and it even felt grimy. There were no pillow cases for the extra pillows and no cover fir the duvet so really only had a sheet to sleep with.
- Timea (10/5): recommended! - Beautiful apartment. very clean. well located. quiet and has a fairly big garden attached. easy with pets too. Parking was not available coz of construction. that was crucial for me so if that's important to u check before book.
- Gréta (10/5): Exceptional -
- 瑋 (6/5): Not worth for the price. - The facility is week. There is a kitchen but missing pot and very dirty.
The bed and bed spread is not small good. Seems not clean up.
The wifi is a nightmare. 50% time is not working well and another 50% is spent on trying get connected. Not clean. Poor wifi. Poor facility.
- Marilyn (9/5): Enjoyable overall experience of Florence - Loved the apartment. Clean and modern. It was a little haven in the city centre. Beautiful garden to relax in. Location was perfect. Close to train station. Close to restaurants, markets and famous buildings We liked everything
- Asa (4/5): Disappointing - Good location. Too many bugs and insects flying due to the host told us to keep the bathroom window opens. Confusing washing machine, only one could be used. No free dryer.
- Carlos (9/5): very good - beautiful decor
very large
great balcony very soft mattress
- Patty (9/5): Superb - The garden is wonderful. So peaceful and relax in a city. So glad I booked here. It is a quiet place but so convenient location. Sometimes you cannot get both, but here you can. Not much dislike.
- Maryann (4/5): Disappointing - Would only allow one towel each for the stay
When asked for fresh towels she said no
Not eco friendly. No paper towels, no napkins
Which you would think an apartment would supply
- Sesharao (9/5): the staff were very responsive. - walking distance to all the attractions, the railway station and the bus station. lot of restaurants nearby. no provision to store luggage
- Alan (5/5): Great location. Needs a lot of TLC - Liked the location. Very close to everywhere we wanted to be. The grounds of the apartment buildings were pretty The whole apartment needs an overhaul. Wi-Fi in sitting room but not in bedroom. Bathroom shower area looked old and dirty. Air conditioning was not working, so it was uncomfortable in the hot afternoon.
- Namrata (5/5): Good location - uncomfortable stay - Stayed here with my sister and parents (4 adults) for 3 nights. We were excited about this property but were a bit disappointed with it. We did however love the location which was an 8 minute walk from the Duomo and about a 5 minute walk to the main train station and the little courtyard which was private and very pretty. Lots of issues - no clear instructions on how to use the appliances such as the stove top. Luckily once I messaged them they were quick to help us. However, there were a few things that were just not up to standards. Firstly, this apartment is not a comfy stay for 4 adults - the sofa bed was awful as the foot is higher than the rest of the bed so you had to sleep on a slant, not great for the backs. Also the furniture was just generally shabby and looked very unkempt.
Secondly - it was really hot in the rooms and when we asked if we could use the airconditioner we were told No it was only for summer, so we sweated the night out as you cannot open the doors or windows due to the mosquitoes. Next was the lighting in the bathroom - it was like having a shower in a cave! Forget about trying to get ready in there it was too dark to even brush your teeth let alone put any make up on. Just the lighting in general was very dim and there was no light in the kitchen so it was not a pleasant experience to cook. Not to mention that had not provided any cleaning products or garbage bags so we had to purchase them and hopefully the next guests will make use of them.
The biggest issue - the washing machine in the basement (the one out of three that were working) had the wrong instructions taped to it! The instructions were for the machine that was Out of Order so after spending 30 minutes trying to figure it out we just ended up using the building laundry and dryer which we had to pay for.
Overall, the only thing we really liked about this place was the location and the garden.
- Sabine (9/5): Superb - The apartment matches the photos exactly, the private and quiet terrace only a couple of steps away from busy train station and tourist attractions. Noisy neighbours arrived on the second day.
- Amy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chandra (8/5): Very good - It was spacious and clean with a beautiful deck at the back. It was too cold, we couldn’t adjust the temperature in the apartment. There was a gap in between the queen bed (it was like two single beds put together).
- Farah (4/5): Disappointing -
- Paris1919 (5/5): Disappointing but has potential - I arrived and had to wait for the host even though he knew exactly what time I was arriving.
It was confusing not knowing where to wait for him.
The address was easy to find but once inside and leaving the apartment and trying to find it again was complicated. The host should have a map to locate the apartment once inside the gate. In fact he had no information at all including any info on Florence.
The apartment was full of mosquitos so the first night was very uncomfortable.
- Colleen (9/5): Superb - Location and garden. Unfortunately it rained so we didn’t get to use it. Lighting or lack of lighting in the kitchen, especially if you want to cook
- Jonathan (8/5): Very good -
- David (9/5): Superb - Central location - could not be better for walking to every tourist attraction. Modern spacious apartment - well appointed. Excellent car parking in adjacent secure garage . Efficient friendly service. Easy to meet up on arrival - to agreed schedule. Central Florence has ZTL zone which bans cars at certain times. The owners attempt to guide tourists arriving by car outside the zone. In practise our sat back did not pick up on this route and sent us through a maze of very narrow cobbled streets with many pedestrians and into the red ZTL zone. I fully expect a fine for infringement.
- Wiles (9/5): I would stay again in this apartment - Friendly personal, uncomplicated check-in procedure. It was very helpfull to have someone who had explained everything what we need to consider during our stay. And thank you to Erika who gave us suggestions what to eat and where to go. Watching the sunset from Piazzale Michelangelo is unforgettable.
The garden looks very nice and it was very comportable to have breakfast there before starting our day in the city center which is only in minutes to reach by foot. In general not a big issue it's just a suggestion what could be improved.
The range of the wifi was very limited to living room. In bedroom and in the garden the signal was very low.
Part of the wall needs repainting, maintainance and the air conditioner surely could be cleaned from time to time.
