Guest Reviews

• Monica (10/5): -
• Denis (10/5): - Very cosy apt. With 120+ years history! Franchesca is very kind and hospitable person. Who seeks the accommodation with Florence vibes - no doubt choose this apt!!
• gaetana (10/5): Un’accoglienza autentica nel cuore di Firenze, tra cura, calore umano e bellezza - Soggiornare a La Vecchia Firenze è stato molto più che trovare una casa in cui dormire: è stato sentirsi accolti, accompagnati e introdotti con delicatezza nello spirito più autentico della città. Francesca, la proprietaria, ci ha ricevuti con uno splendido sorriso e con un coinvolgimento umano raro, di quelli che trasformano subito l’arrivo in un’esperienza positiva. Prima ancora di mostrarci gli spazi, ci ha fatto entrare nella storia della casa, raccontandocela con cura e passione, come si fa con qualcosa che si ama davvero. Ogni dettaglio dell’abitazione ci è stato presentato con attenzione, così come ogni suggerimento sulla città: cosa vedere, dove andare, dove mangiare, come vivere Firenze non da semplici turisti, ma da ospiti desiderati. Abbiamo trovato il frigorifero e la dispensa pieni di ogni cosa per la colazione e per una merenda, con una generosità che non è affatto scontata e che racconta molto del modo in cui Francesca intende l’accoglienza: non come servizio formale, ma come gesto di cura. La casa è confortevole, caratteristica, piena di atmosfera, ma ciò che resta davvero nel cuore è l’umanità di Francesca. È quella qualità invisibile che fa la differenza tra un soggiorno riuscito e un ricordo bello da portare con sé. Speriamo sinceramente di poterla accogliere un giorno nella nostra città, magari per ricambiare tanta gentilezza con una bella escursione insieme. Nulla di rilevante da segnalare. Il soggiorno è stato piacevole, curato e pienamente in linea con le nostre aspettative. L’unico vero dispiacere è stato dover andare via.
• Robert (10/5): Such a wonderful stay in Florence. Couldn’t hope for a better apartment and host - The property is beautiful and comfortable. It’s located right near a supermarket and with great links to trams, trains and buses. The food provided was great and the host was incredibly helpful and attentive Nothing to report
• Marcelo (10/5): - Francesca é uma pessoa incrível e muito simpática. Fez a nossa estadia ser muito tranquila e acolhedora. Agradecemos muito pela hospitalidade e pela empatia.
• Krystof (10/5): -
• Dorskaya (10/5): Думаю, хозяйке нужно заменить лампочки на более мощные или придумать, как гостям открывать ставни - Очень приветливая хозяйка. Все рассказала, показала, добрая, улыбчивая, общительная. Оставила еды целую кучу. На автобусе не перемещались, до всего можно добраться пешком Очень темно. Нет дневного света в принципе, только на кухне. Электрический свет спасает, но не сильно
• Simone (10/5): Es war sooooo schön bei Francesca und in Florenz - Alles sehr hübsch und gemütlich. Das Frühstück ist sehr reichlich und vielfältig. Francesca ist eine so zauberhafte freundliche und liebe Gastgeberin - einfach unvorstellbar!!!
• Dmytro (10/5): -
• Lee (10/5): - Francesca was a wonderful hist, and provided a terrific array of supplies fir breakfast. The accommodation was comfortable, and we liked the character of the home - felt like staying at Nonna's.
• Bethley Cathey (10/5): - I like the house. From the outside it looks quite ordinary, even a bit like an old house. But once you step inside, the house is very clean, cozy, and comfortable. It’s a cute vintage house. The host is very friendly and informative. They provided plenty of breakfast food for our entire 3-night stay. The tram and bus stations are about a 5-minute walk away. Highly recommended 👍
• Stefano (9/5): -
• Janine (10/5): - Sehr sehr nette und zuvorkommende Gastgeberin. Der Kühlschrank war mehr als reichlich gefüllt und es standen verschiedenste Küchlein, Kekse, Tee und Kaffee zur Verfügung. Das Apartment war sehr sauber und mit viel Liebe eingerichtet. Bei der Ankunft bekamen wir auch hilfreiche Tipps und Empfehlungen von der Gastgeberin. Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt! :-)
• Vera (10/5): - Ubytování bylo fajn v dobré vzdálenosti od centra Florencie. Franceska byla velice milá a vstřícná. Velice bohatá snídaně. Nemam žádné připomínky.
• Mari Carmen (8/5): -
• petra (10/5): -
• Anna (10/5): Všechno bylo skvělé! - Paní Francesca byla úplně skvělá! Strašně milá a vstřícná. Všechno nám řekla a ukázala a hlavně i doporučila. Ubytování bylo velké a hrozně hezky vybavené a bylo tam vše co jsme potřebovali. Je to trošku dál od zastávky max do 10 minut chůze, ale co centra blízko a také na T2 tramvaj, která vede na letiště je také cca 10 minut chůze od ubytování. Za mě perfektní! Urcite doporučím dál! Nic takového není.
• Béatrice (10/5): - Nous remercions Francesca pour sa bienveillance sa générosité.et tous ses précieux conseils. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à Florence. Personne sur qui on peut compter en cas de problème
• Harris (10/5): Francesca was extremely helpful with information and booking taxis for us. The location was good. - Amazing amount of food Francesca supplied for us. The sofa bed in the second room was a little uncomfortable and squeaky.
• Julia (10/5): Stay was great - Francesca made very memorable and pleasant stay . Nothing
• guy (9/5): parfait - L’accueil de la personne qui nous a rendu les clés, elle nous a bien conseillé sur les trajets dans Florence, les petits déjeuners très copieux quelle gentillesse . petit bémol le train que l'on entends un peu mais rien de grave.
• Yuan (10/5): -
• Elena (9/5): C’etait un séjour presque parfait ! Merci beaucoup Francesca pour votre accueil 😍 - L’accueil est très chaleureux, Francesca est très sympathique et accueillante. L’appartement avec du charme, très propre. Le grand lit est très comfortable, le canapé-lit un peu moins. Le petit déjeuner est très copieux et varié. 20 minutes à pied et vous êtes en pleine centre-ville. Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour. Le chemin de fer est juste à côté, le matin ce n’est pas le réveil mais les trains qui nous réveillaient. Si vous avez le sommeil profond cela ne vous dérangera pas. À part ça rien à dire.
• OCTAVIA Loredana (10/5): Superb! - Francesca, proprietara, este superbă! Ne a ajutat cu toate informațiile de care am avut nevoie Recomand cazarea din suflet!😘 Casa este dotată cu tot ce ai nevoie Totul ne a plăcut Francesca a lasat pentru micul dejun mai mult decât era necesar O gazdă minunată! Cu siguranță vom mai merge la ea și vom recomanda prietenilor
• MARIELA (10/5): - La casa es muy bonita, muy limpia y cómoda, llena de detalles. Francesca, la anfitriona es encantadora, sus consejos nos ayudaron mucho. Si algún día volvemos a Florencia, desde luego nos encantaría regresar a,su casa. Todo me gustó.
• Adrian (10/5): Florence - The apartment is located via short walk from tram stop "Stattuto" on the T1 line. Prior to our arrival communicating with Francesca was responded to promptly and answered any questions we had prior to our arrival. We were met by the host at the property. Francesca was very friendly and provided an overview of the apartment and how best to get around Florence. The property was well fitted out for 3 adults. The property was clean and neat with aircon, stove cooktop, oven, microwave, etc. Francesca provided a large range of produce for breakfast, I think more produce than the supermarket just down the road 😀 which is about a 5 minute walk. Overall, I would rate this property and host very highly and would have no hesitation in staying there again.

• koba (10/5): -
• Marlene (9/5): - Charming old house. The decoration is amazing with all the wonderful details. We were very weell received. The owner was amazing. It was perfect for our stay. Just to clarify, the breakfast included isn't really a breakfast (in the normal term) but i don't mean it as a negative point: there was a good quantity and variety of food in the kitchen for us to eat. We had to walk at least 20min to the main atractions. Nothing to point.
• Zsolt (10/5): -
• Dorine (9/5): Een fantastische locatie - Nog voor we aan de accommodatie waren kregen we al whatsapp berichten met de vraag of we er bijna waren. De host Francesca was onderweg, nog geen 5 min later was ze aan haar appartement, ondertussen werden we binnengelaten door de poetsvrouw. We mochten onze bagage achterlaten. We kregen uitleg over het appartement, waar ze heel fier op was, want het was van haar grootouders. Ze legden ons uit waar we alles konden vinden, de bezienswaardigheden, ze stuurden nadien ook nog tal van info via whatsapp. Ze whatsappte alle dagen met de vraag of er nog voldoende ontbijt aanwezig was, alles voor een rijkelijk ontbijt was aanwezig. Een heel fijne locatie uitgebaat door een fantastische dame, op amper een kleine 30min stappen van het stadscentrum. Een echte aanrader!
• Andrea (10/5): You will love this place you will love Francesca!! She will take care of you! - You will not find a better host than Francesca!!! She was amazing!!! She gifted us with wine upon arrival, stocked the fridge for us too. When I asked her a million questions about the bus and the tram she was so patient with me and so prompt to respond. Apartment was spotless and less than a minute walk to the grocery store. We walked everywhere, 20 minutes to the downtown. Uber and taxi’s were easy to book too. Francesca offered to call us a taxi anytime we needed. We loved hearing her story of how her great grandpa made some of the doors and cabinets in the home. This is a true Tuscan Villa with the best host in a great location! Everything was perfect.
• Angie (9/5): Fantastic Florence apartment - The owner, Francesca, went above and beyond to make sure our stay there was perfect. She was so informative about the best places to eat, sights to visit, public transport and even made sure the fridge was stocked ! The location is very easy to get to from the train station by either taxi or tram. There is a supermarket located within a few mins walk so very handy ! The apartment was spotless ! Would highly recommend this place to stay when visiting Florence ! You can hear the trains as its close to the train line but you get used to it !
• Clare (10/5): Tuscan hospitality is amazing - The hostess is amazing! She helped me find parking and was very attentive through out my stay. The accommodations are a lovely blend of ancient and modern.
• Nia (8/5): Very good -
• Fiona (9/5): Fantastic! - The host, Francesca, is amazing! She made sure we were comfortable the whole trip, had a lot of great tips for small additions to our plans and provided a ton of food for us, so we were very happy. The accomodation itself was very clean, orderly and it was exactly what we wanted. The only downside was the noise from the trains at night. Thankfully it wasn't too bad, but we did lose a bit of sleep.
• May (10/5): Perfect host. - Francesca is a super host.She is kind and helpful.She meet us in person and explained the history of her great grandfather's house in detail and provide a lot of useful information for us.She even stock up food:bread cheese ham biscuits yogurt,juice ,wine milk and fruits for us.
• Cris (9/5): Fantastic place with a Tuscan great touch - The place is as advertised and even more. Francesca is a great host and made every efort to make our stay enjoyable. She loaded the fridge with breakfast food options for every taste. The place is situated approx 1.5 km (20min) from Florence’s main attractions. All in all a great stay and we’ll be back for sure
• Laura (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michelle (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ivan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Poppy (10/5): We loved our stay, Francesca was so lovely and so helpful with everything, she provided soo much food for us we hardly a - Amazing helpful host, soo much food provided, great location, lots of space, very clean. Nothing
• Rodney (10/5): Gracious, friendly and courteous host. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. - Close to most attractions and love the theme of the house. We (unfortunately) rely on Wi-Fi for day to day holiday tasks. The wi-fi was a bit unreliable.
• Fiona (8/5): The property is approximately a 20 minute very easy walk from the centre of Florence. It was good to stay out of the hu - The host Francesca could certainly provide other hosts of properties with a lesson in how to host a property. She is an amazing host who could not do enough for us. The property has been in her family for many years and provides lots of character. The pantry and fridge were stocked with so much food we found it impossible to eat it all! The property is close to railway lines and a road which means it can be a bit noisy at night.
• Lau (10/5): Everything is good - The host is nice and helpful. She prepared delicious pastries, cheese, bread, ham, salami and yougurt for breakfast. The apartment is spacious with 3 bedrooms and 2 toilets.It's not far away from city centre, we walked to the Cathedral or main train station in 20 minutes. no washing machine
• Justin (10/5): Best best best - Convenient and clean and so friendly best service provided by the owner. Convenient and so clean and so friendly best service provided by the owner.
• Mario (10/5): One of the best B and B accommodation! - Amazing host! Nothing
• Deniz (9/5): Warm welcoming and cleanliness of the house made the stay perfect. - Francesca, the owner, was very kind and welcoming. She made sure that everything is going well throughout our stay. The house has its unique feeling from old Italian times. Second bed could be more comfortable.
• Fiona (10/5): Beautiful traditional Italian property with welcoming host - Our host was so welcoming. The property is so interesting, a traditional Italian house based in a little courtyard. We had the most beautiful and bountiful foods provided by the lovely host. Enough for plenty of breakfasts, snacks, picnics and even enough for the train journey home. The property is very nice inside three large bedrooms meaning our teenage daughters had lots of space. The bathrooms were lovely, fresh and nice toiletries. It was lacking in outdoor space and is a twenty minute walk from town centre. There is a little bit of noise from the trains but not unbearable. The host left a lovely welcoming gift which we enjoyed. The property has air con and great WiFi and showers etc. Lots of households accessories. A wonderful supermarket within 5 minutes walk -they do beautiful roast chickens! Thank you so much for making our visit to Florence so memorable. Nothing
• Jennifer (10/5): Amazing! - Amazing apartment with lots of room and tons of character. Francesca stocked the refrigerator with delicious food for breakfast/snacks and was extremely helpful in booking us taxis and orienting us to the city.
• Hannah (10/5): Our stay was amazing here, Francesca is so nice and helpful! -
• Oskar (10/5): All B&Bs should be ran like this. - This is how B&B should be properly ran. Classic Italian city courtyard house, with all basic amenities that you may need to experience Italian living. Exceptional host. Perfect stay. Thank you
• Aliaksei (10/5): Exceptional - Our stay was awesome! The location was nice - not so far from the city center so you can walk there (or choose a tram or bus if you want). The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed. Francesca was accommodating and responsive, and she left lots of various food in the fridge and some wine - so making breakfast was super easy. Also she gave a lot of local tips. I can safely say that you will not be disappointed because she is showing a true example of hospitability
• Arakishvili (10/5): Exceptional - It was very comforting to see all the products our host, Francesca had already prepared for our arrival, alongside with a welcoming bottle of wine. She also showed us the sightseeings and restaurants worth visiting. We went on to have a great time in Florence, which all started at our apartment,
• Željka (10/5): Exceptional - Our host Francesca was very helpful, we liked the accommodation, it was spacious and clean. The food Francesca provided for us was plentiful and varied. It was very noisy at night due to the train tracks nearby. Take earplugs with you or sleep with the windows closed. Also take mosquito repellents with you!
• Jan (10/5): Exceptional - Great host, close to center, close to shop. Wonderful stay!
• Sridhar (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vladyslav (10/5): Highly recommended - All is good, Francesca is a great host! Nothing
• Moritz (9/5): Superb - Amazing Breakfast, Super polite and helpfull owner, such a wonderfull original italian style apartment. It is an airbnb with a wonderfull soul. We´ll come back!
• Dunja (10/5): Exceptional - I loved the apartment, its charm and warmth. The location was amazing - a 15 min walk to the city center. Francesca, the lovely owner of the apartment, set an example for all the people in this business - impeccable hygiene, plenty of handy suggestions, variety of food provided for the breakfast... Just perfect! Thanks for all of this! It was all amazing!
• Costas (10/5): Exceptional - The owner, Francesca was a great person. From the very first moment she made everything to make our stay unforgettable. The house is an old but very nice and warm place to stay just a stroll from Firenze's center. A market was just to mins walk away. If you are not lucky you may have a little problem with the parking. Otherwise everything was great!!!
• Carolina (10/5): Excellent !!! - We have been travelling.for a month and have stayed in several airbnb's. This one was top of the line. Starting with Francesca that was waiting for us with a pantry and fridge full of delicious pastries. Cheese, wine, jam,bread. Ham salami,yougurt. You name it. We did not have to buy a thing. Then she was always asking if we needed something. Mafe sure we got a cab and all was ok. I highly recomend this airbnb. Is close to everything. There was nothing not to like
• Blathnaid (10/5): A blissful, comfortable and very happy stay in a very convenient location. One tram from the main train station in Flore - Francesca couldn’t have done more for us for our gorgeous stay in this beautiful spotless comfortable home. Her warm welcome & overview of the house, the area, how to get around &places to eat/see etc was exceptional. We couldn’t believe how well Francesca looked after us also with food & beverages & checked in a few times to make sure all was good with us. We felt so safe here and so comfortable and had a very happy blissful stay. There were three single adults in the three bedrooms and all had so much space and facilities separately and together. It was so wonderful to have a gorgeous dining table to hang out at also. We will be back to stay at this wonderfully authentic slice of Italian life. Thank you Francesca 🙏🏻🧡 There is nothing to not like- we loved it all 100%
• Ivan (10/5): Loved our stay here. Would highly recommend and stay here again. - We enjoyed the old rustic look of the place. It was very comfortable for the 3 of us. Francesca was an unbelievable host. I think she is the number 1 host from all of our stays combined. She was very knowledgeable, accommodating and just a pleasure to speak with. She treated you like family. Nothing. Everything was outstanding.
• Jeannette (8/5): This place was absolutely perfect for my family. - This home was very comfortable. We were provided with pastries, meats, cheese, juices, coffee and a bottle of wine upon arrival. The host is so accommodating and helpful.
• Elizabeth (9/5): Superb -
• Manuel (10/5): Exceptional Stay - Francesca is a really nice host. She waited for us and made sure to explain everything about the house and do good recommendations. All of us were comfortable and had a very great time. House is near great amenities. None.
• Punzel1970 (10/5): Exceptional - Francesca was a wonderful host. Breakfast was awesome and more than enough. We walked to the Dome and back. You get your steps in but it is worth it. I would recommend this place to my friends Just a lot of people all the time but that's normal for a big city
• Sebastian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional - Our host Francesca was really welcoming and kind. We really enjoyed our stay and really recommend this accommodation. Hope to visit again one day, 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
• Anonymous (10/5): Francessa was the sweetest host. The place was so comfortable and clean. It felt very authentic. She was so attentive an - It was very authentic and made us feel like we got a true italian experience. it was so homey and comfortable. It was a little far from the center but the walk is very easy and there’s a bus station.
• Chris (10/5): Exceptional -
• An81e (10/5): Best stay in Firenze - The appartment was even more beautiful than the pictures. So cozy, clean and decorated with a domestic charm. The host Francesca was so nice to explain everything, from the heritage to the little secrets from the locals (where to eat park, shop and what to see). You can reach city center in just 20 min. (easy walk) or catch a bus/tram which is few minutes away. When in Firenze we'll definately stay at her place again.
• Myrna (10/5): A lovely old house. - Francesca, the host, was a delight and the house was full of character. There was a ton of food in the fridge and on the counter. We were able to make enough sandwiches for our entire visit! There is a big supermarket close by and a tram (T1) that can take you to Santa Maria Novella and beyond. The house is inside a gated courtyard with its own little porch. There are two kitchens, two bathrooms, three bedrooms and a twisty hallway. The beds were not very comfortable. The shower in the second bathroom was just a drain and a shower curtain, so water gets all over the floor. The kitchen was well equipped, but lacked a pot big enough to cook pasta. There is no living room. it is noisy with the windows open but not too bad with closed.
• Nanda (7/5): Good - The Host Francesca was exceptional
• Robert (9/5): We had a wonderful stay for a few nights. Francesca looked after us wonderfully and the welcome gifts (breads, wine, che - A beautiful and interesting property. The property has no views.
• Ivana (10/5): Exceptional - Francesca was amazing. She was very kind and patient with us. She put a lot of effort into everything. She recommended us where to go and what to eat and she was always at our disposal.
