Guest Reviews

• alain (9/5): - Accueil chaleureux et reactif Emplacement dans quartier très sympathique proche des centres d'intérêts 15 à 20 mn. Calme Agréable à vivre ( garde le frais pendant canicule même sans mettre la clim). Rypique et Décoré avec goût. Check in anticipé et avons pu laisser nos valises après le check out
• Keçebaş (8/5): - Ev sahibi iyi birisi
• James (10/5): - Great suite. Comfortable and close to centre. 18 minute walk. Well stocked and clean.Lorena is the perfect host. Very helpful and quick to respond. Would highly recommend. Leaving !
• SEVERINE (6/5): - Le charme de l appartement. Malheureusement travaux à proximité actuellement donc bruit . Et apparemment en rez de chaussée à proximité de la porte d entrée très bruyante.le matelas du canapé est à changer .....
• Steven (10/5): Great stay and great location. - We really enjoyed this stay, Lorena was very responsive and helpful. The place is located in a residential neighborhood so its quiet, but its an easy walk to sights. There's a bus stop a block away that serves several buses that go near the main train station. The shops in the area aren't as touristy as those in the main section. Its right around the corner from the Brancacci Chapel, which is something we wanted to see. It was great to have a microwave and washer as well.
• Davide (10/5): -
• Tomas (8/5): Virkelig skønt sted - Let at komme fra/til byen. Gode indkøbsmuligheder tæt på beliggenheden. - Skøn rummelig lejlighed, rigtig fine faciliteter. God beliggenhed. Dårligt internet - men det er dog under udbedring.
• EMILY (9/5): -
• Michael (10/5): Fantastic spot - We loved Casa Lorena. It was extremely well set up for a comfortable stay - had everything we needed. Stylishly furnished but also comfortable. Lorena was so nice and kind. The location is away from the main tourist areas but still within easy walking distance. Good restaurants and cafes in the close vicinity with a supermarket minutes walk away.
• Maria (10/5): Lo recomendaré a mis amigos sin duda. - La ubicación. La cama. La dueña. Todo perfecto.
• Lisa (10/5): Lovely haven to return to after exhausting days seeing all Florence has to offer - Great communication with Lorena beforehand. Property was perfect for our needs All was great
• Frank (9/5): We were very comfortable and enjoyed our stay here. - The host was waiting for us when we arrived. The neighborhood was safe. There is a supermarket closeby. Walkable distance to the attractions and the central bus and train station. The rooms and the linen was very clean. The host suggested a few dining options which was very helpful.
• Ali (6/5): Pleasant - Our two-night stay had its pros and cons. The house's location was excellent, making it easy to explore the area. We really appreciated the owner's kindness and flexibility in providing the keys in advance, which made our arrival very smooth. However, the apartment itself felt quite old and could benefit from some updates. The bed in the living room was noticeably old and quite uncomfortable, making for a restless night. The bathroom door was also a bit of a struggle – the sliding mechanism wasn't working well, making it difficult to close and almost impossible to open from the inside once fully shut. There was also a distinct, somewhat musty smell throughout the house, likely due to its age. While the location and owner were positives, the issues with comfort and functionality did impact our overall experience.
• Jurijs (10/5): Benisimo - Place Nothing
• Malcolm (10/5): Clean and comfortable accommodation on the Oltrarno side of river - Lovely welcome from Lorena who allowed us to drop bags off early. Great accommodation - spacious and clean. Just a short walk across the bridge , (about a 20 min walk from SMN train station). Quieter area away from major tourist areas but still plenty of restaurants and bars close by and easy to walk to tourist attractions. 5 min walk to good supermarket. Maybe a coffee machine although we made great coffee on the stove.
• Van (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kathryne (10/5): Exceptional - Nice big, ground floor apartment. The apartment was quiet, and well equipped (including a washing machine, which was great). Our host, Lorena, was great, and very easy to contact, so we were able to check in at our arranged meeting time. N/A
• Roberta (9/5): Superb -
• Kate (10/5): Quaint city apartment with a friendly owner - Everything, honestly. The owner messaged us well in advance and was so pleasant. She let us check in early and leave our luggage in the apartment while it was being cleaned. Super accommodating to our schedule and needs. It had everything a full apartment needs. All the appliances and amenities. We were able to save a little money by making breakfast at the apartment before heading out. It's very close to all the activities in and near the squares. We were able to walk everywhere without issue. Everything was amazing. Unfortunately, the A/C unit didn't work very well, but there were ceiling fans to make up for it being hot.
• Kallie (9/5): Lovely Stay in Florence! - I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Casa Lorena during my time in Florence! Casa Lorena is on the opposite side of the Arno river, and the neighborhood was pretty quiet. I was within a 15-25 minute walk to all of the main attractions, which was quite nice. Lorena greeted me at arrival and briefly showed me around the apartment. Casa Lorena was well-stocked with dishes and the AC unit worked very well, which was great, as the mid-June temperatures were topping in the low 90s Fahrenheit. The fridge size was much larger than other places I had stayed in Italy, which was quite nice. The bed and pillows were comfortable, and I slept well each night. Conad, a grocery store, is within 8 minutes walking, as well as a number of cafes and restaurants. I highly recommend this stay to anyone looking to explore all Florence has to offer but wants to stay away from the main city center. My stay was 6 nights, and I was only given one large towel for showering. While I do reuse towels at home, I would've appreciated at least one more towel, as I showered every day. Additionally, the trash can was quite small in the kitchen and there were no additional bags for after I had filled it up.
• Wojciech (9/5): Superb -
• David (10/5): Spacious apartment in central Florence - Roomy, ground floor apartment equipped with all necessary items. Helpful host. Comfortable bed. Good restaurants nearby. Nada.
• Zsolt (9/5): Premium quality place - The ceiling is amazing. This is close (10min on walk) from the Ponte Vecchio. Its comfortable. We got everything in the flat what we want. Everything was only our fault 🫣🤣
• Joan (10/5): Beautiful stay in Florence, away from the crowds - The property is exceptional. Beautiful, well-equipped, and in a quieter neighbourhood away from tourists. The host was lovely. Not much! Maybe a phone charging plug?
• Paula (10/5): Nice flat, great area and wondefull host. - Lorena was great, she waited for us for the check in and she also allowed us to stay until the afternoon the departure day. The apartment is spacious and very nice. We also liked the area because it is very close to center but not in a crowded street. Great trattorias and pizzerias around. Everything exceptional.
• Anonymous (10/5): A wonderful stay at Casa Lorena. - Very charming property, well located. Nothing
• Natalia (10/5): Exceptional -
• James (10/5): Exceptional - Host was wonderful and accommodating. Place was pristine. Lovely location
• Stefka (10/5): Magnificent - When I was looking for a place to stay in Florence and saw the photos of this property I immediately booked it. I didn't care about the price or location, it looked exactly what I was looking for - authentic historical vibes, magnificent frescoes, antique furniture... When we went there it met and even exceeded all our expectations! It's not only exactly as in the photos but it's also located in the heart of the most magnificent area of the city! Great place to stay in, especially for families! Please note that there isn't a self-check-in. You have to arrange the key pick-up directly with the host and you have to be prompt.
• Haris (9/5): We loved it. Everything about the place. There was nothing missing. - The location was great. Very easy to go anywhere and very comfortable to walk around the city centre. I liked everything.
• Mary-clare (8/5): Very good -
• Halasz (10/5): Fantastico! - The hosts were friendly and accommodating. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. The location is on the "other" side of the river, away from large crowds, but just a short walk to the city center. I would highly recommend!
• Emma (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was excellent. A fabulous size with all the facilities we needed. It was also perfectly located for all the sights. There's a supermarket a 2 min walk away in one direction and a plazzo with a fantastic restaurant 2 mins in the other (try the rissoto!). 5 mins away is the river and all the attractions. Host was lovely. Everything was super clean. Great value for money! The electric burner takes a little while to heat up to cook pasta!
• Rene (10/5): Exceptional - Casa Lorena is very near to the most important cultural places: Palazzo Pitti, Ponte Vecchio, IL Duomo, and Ufizzi. You can reach walking... train station, too.
• Hanna (9/5): Superb - Very cozy apartment close to all the sights of the historical center of Florence. I didn't use transport so the location is perfect. An old house with a special Italian atmosphere. I especially liked the Renaissance coffer ceiling - a real work of art. The apartment has everything for a comfortable stay. Poor soundproofing, so you can hear everything that happens on the street and in the hallway of the house. But after a tour of the museums of Florence, this did not bother me))
• Ralitsa (9/5): Superb - The location is excellent! Close to everything and you don't need to use transportation. The accommodation is very nice, in an old building and the interior is authentic! The host is really responsive and helpful
• Luke (9/5): Great apartment, would stay again - Really cool vibe and characterful property. Apartment was fully equipped with everything you could need. You could really hear everything outside on the street or neighbours coming into the property even though the street wasn't busy due to lack of double glazing.
