Guest Reviews

• Dino (8/5): -
• Lizabeta (7/5): Muss ich nicht mehr buchen - Die Lage Nicht sauber, die Dusche verschimmelt und gekalkt
• Tena (6/5): -
• Tessa (7/5): Prima, maar er zijn zeker verbeterpunten. - 1. Algemeen De rust, ligging en aankleding van de kamer. 2. Service Kosteloos extra handdoeken voor ons klaargelegd, omdat deze nat waren geworden door de regen (hingen buiten te drogen). 3. Het feit dat we later aankwamen dan onze oorspronkelijke check-in tijd door files was geen punt. 1. Afhandeling van parkeerkosten De host was slecht bereikbaar en het contact verliep via een agentschap, die niet al te klantvriendelijk was. 2. Hygiene Badkamer: de voegen zijn bruin en er zaten haren op de douchekop en tegels. Koffiezetapparaat: Er stond alg in het waterreservoir van het koffiezetapparaat. Servies en bestek: deze waren niet schoon. Er zaten nog etensresten aan. Bovenstaande was duidelijk niet schoongemaakt voor lange tijd. En dat voelt niet als een warm welkom.

• Simona (10/5): eccellente - consiglio questa struttura per tutto...
• YAQIN (9/5): 房间在一个花园里面，风景很美，不过在佛罗伦萨的三天行程很满，没空在花园坐坐，就是浴室的窗帘有点透，洗澡的时候有点没安全感，整体住宿体验非常不错，下次有机会还会考虑这边。 -

• Anthony (8/5): GREAT, place, but small things missed - We loved the location, quiet, away from the city at the top of the hill, a short stroll from the city Overlooking zone on the 13 Bus Line. It has a nice kitchenette with indoor & outdoor sitting area for breakfast or other meals should you want to cook in. We usually walked down into town and took bus #11 up the hill and then the short walk to the Guest House, however #13, while longer drops you directly across the street. 2 rolls of toilet paper for a 4 day stay which they called their welcome packet. No extra supplies at all, no paper towels in the kitchen. The standards in Italy are NOT the same as elsewhere. We were somewhat disgusted by their lack of concern for such a cheap 1.7€ for a 4-pack which they required us to go all the way to a store to purchase and then come back. If I pay 100's of Euros to stay overnight they least they could do it ensure BASIC cheap essential supplies are readily avails and at hand. It was a major inconvenience for us. The idea of an Airbnb or Booking is to ensure the traveler feels at home, comfortable and cared for. We weren't expecting the world, just enough toilet paper for 4 days.
• Piotr Jawor (9/5): Wspanialy citybreak - Urokliwy apartament w typowym wloskim klimacie Wilgoc
• 18767c20d7a972389fdd71d109006db7 (10/5): - Amazing location
• 18c0be2b59e371f216656fa7d3b96803 (9/5): -
• Aarnout (4/5): Te duur - Locatie Niet schoon, veel kapot
• Andrei (10/5): - Тишина,сад. Для троих тесновато.
• bao (9/5): -
• Tonny Voss (3/5): Opholdet var en kæmpe skuffelse pgra ovennævnte mangler. Det er simpelthen ikke pengene værd, desværre - Vi kunne godt lide de rolige omgivelser i en lukket have. Vi kunne også godt lide at ejendommen lå udenfor byens larm. Værelset er meget småt, med stort set ingen andre muligheder end at opholde sig i sengen. Man skal være opmærksom på at håndklæder og sengetøj ikke bliver skiftet på noget tidspunkt under opholdet Affald bliver ikke afhentet og noget så fundamentalt som wc papir må man selv sørge for efter den første rulle der er der når man kommer.
• Gemma (9/5): -
• Wośko (10/5): Fantastyczny piękne miejsce, cisza i pięknyogrod - Lokalizacja, urządzenie apartamentu , czystość Nic
• alice (9/5): -
• Marc (10/5): - no
• Peter Steiml (10/5): - Eines der besten Apartments welches wir je in Florenz hatten. Die Lage ist hervorragend. Sehr privater Parkplatz auch für große SUV.
• Barbara (8/5): -
• Michele (9/5): -
• Enzo Luciano (7/5): - It was a very calm and beautiful area, uphill surrounded by gardens and villas. You can relax from the stress there. It is difficult to reach, going downhill to the centre is ok and takes around 45 min. Going up is hard especially with luggage. There are not many connections, especially at night. Also the check-in depends on someone getting there, so not very flexible
• aurelie (7/5): Nouvel an à Florence - La décoration Le calme L'environnement Disponibilité et gentillesse de l'hôte Taxe en sus pour arrivée tard Loin du centre-ville à pied [30 min] Pas de supérette ou de possibilité de repas à proximité Matelas du canapé très fin et peu confortable Rideau tres fin de l'extérieur dans la salle de bain
• Stacy (10/5): The garden setting was magical, the apartment beautifully decorated, I absolutely loved it all! - The setting was magical! The apartment was large and colorful and beautifully decorated. The host was wonderful and helpful. I've already recommended this place to other travelers, I loved it so much. It was all great!
• Maria Dolores (10/5): - Le parc, le silence, le chauffage, l’accueil chaleureux et le côté très romantique de la chambre dans cette serre magnifique.
• Guest (9/5): -
• Silvio (8/5): - Great garden, the room was cozy and nicely furnished The check in experience was poor as the guy arrived late and wasn’t very nice
• Martin (9/5): - Clara ist eine sehr, sehr nette host. Die Busse in Florenz fahren nicht sehr regelmäßig. Aber, wenn man gut zu Fuß ist, dann hat man schöne Wege in die Stadt.
• Milena (8/5): -
• Lilli (10/5): - Die Lage: es war zwar etwas ab vom Schuss aber dafür super ruhig und entspannt. Es gibt Geschirr aber nichts zum abspülen / abwaschen
• Ste (6/5): -
• Vazquez (9/5): El personal muy atento y agradable , era fácil y corto llegar al centro andando una (30min) sino en taxi 10min ( no Lour - Personal genial y limpieza genial Poquita luz fuera ( pero sin más )
• CARMEN (10/5): Liniște ,soare ,iubire iar grădina Doamnei este superbă !!!😊😇🥰 - Liniștea,grădina 🥰☀️este superb locul 😁îl recomand 💯 Totul a fost perfect 🤩
• Mila (7/5): Énorme difficulté pour se rendre dans le centre historique. - Calme dans un beau jardin . Manque un micro onde. Restoration a l’intérieur pas comfortable
• Anonim 2023 (9/5): Natura si liniște - Locația, intr o gradina foarte frumoasa cu loc de parcare . Confortabil si un spațiu deosebit. Apartamentul pentru 3 persoane este generos si oferă toate facilitățile. Accesul spre centru cu mijloace de transport publice este destul de anevoios. In sensul ca vin foarte rar, altfel centrul este accesibil pe jos intr o plimbare de 30 de minute . Întoarcerea este mai dificila fiind drum in urcare .
• Valentin Panait (8/5): Locatie superba - Locatie superba, intr-o curte foarte frumoasa, in zona de lux, pe deal, a orasului. La distanta de 40 de minute de mers pe jos, dar si o statie mica de autobuze In 6 nopti petrecute acolo, nu au fost schimbate nici lenjeria de pat, nici prosoapele. De asemenea, pe terasa, nu curata nimeni, nimic. Lipsa wifi, din cauza unor probleme tehnice, dar gazda s-a oferit sa aduca un adaptor cu viteza mai mica.
• André (7/5): Bom local, porém falta limpeza no banheiro, sem Wi-Fi - Gostei silêncio do local, acordar com o barulho dos pássaros. Localização boa, fora da ZTL e da para ir a pé conhecer Firenze. Para voltar recomendo ônibus pois é uma subida boa. Tem linha de ônibus que para na porta da hospedagem. Banheiro sujo, principalmente o box do banheiro. Gordura do corpo, manchas escuras nos cantos. O banheiro não tem cortina escura, então se alguém passar do lado de fora, a noite, dá pra ver tomando banho. Diz que tem estacionamento, mas nos cobraram 10 euros por noite. Sendo que tem espaço de sobra para estacionar. A internet não estava funcionando.
• silvia (8/5): Complessivamente il soggiorno è stato positivo. - La posizione, adeguata sia per accedere al centro, sia per passeggiate sulle colline. La location, particolarmente affascinante, circondata dal giardino, che nella stagione primaverile/estiva avrebbe potuto essere sfruttata di più La pulizia avrebbe potuto essere migliore
• Marco (5/5): - La struttura Televisore scomodo poca pulizia c'era cibo avariato in frigo neanche una tisana per quello che si è pagato a parte la posizione si può fare molto meglio
• Hernández Maldonado (7/5): Way too far from the main attractions, but beautiful place - It’s very beautiful It’s way too far from the main attractions in the city. The transportation was super difficult, since the bus that takes you to the airbnb takes too long to arrive, if you want to rent a car you have to pay extra.
• Mari Carmen (9/5): - La cama es muy cómoda y los alrededores son preciosos.
• Julie (8/5): -
• Heidi (8/5): - Die Lage war sehr idyllisch. Das Zimmer hatte ein gutes Bett und es gab eine schöne Terrasse. Wir haben gut geschlafen und konnten die Ruhe, etwas außerhalb der Stadt, genießen. Der Bus hält gleich vor dem Grundstück. Man muss sich auf einer Internetseite registrieren, was im Vorfeld der Buchung nicht klar war (Fotos mit Vor- und Rückseite der Ausweise hochladen). Das Ausfüllen der Formulare gelang uns leider nicht, weil manche Eingaben nicht möglich waren bzw. nicht speicherbar waren. Zum Schluss sollten noch Selfies hochgeladen werden, was wir nicht wollten. Das hatte zur Folge, dass uns zunächst der Zugang verweigert wurde. Die Eigentümerin war dann aber doch vor Ort und hat alles weitere geregelt.
• Richard (9/5): -
• Charline (7/5): -
• Lotte (9/5): - Heel fijn appartement buiten het centrum. De bushalte was voor de deur en de bus reed om het kwartier, hierdoor was het makkelijk om naar het centrum van Florence te gaan. We hebben ons echt thuis gevoeld in het appartement, ik vind het zeker een aanrader We kregen maar een set handdoeken voor een week. We hadden zelf wel wat handdoeken meegenomen en volgens mij zouden we tegen betaling wel extra handdoeken kunnen krijgen.
• Morgane (9/5): Nous séjour a été très agréable. - L’établissement est très bien situé, à 30 min à pied du centre de Florence et à 15min du jardin de Boboli.
• Pieter (8/5): -
• Sinisha (6/5): Calidad , precio no bueno .. se pasan con taxa turística - Tranquilo y cama cómoda Alejado y para entrar muy oscuro el sitio. Faltaba luz exterior . Televisión no tenía señal
• Goran (9/5): -
• Cami (8/5): - The location and the entire apartment is very nice. The sofa from the living room cannot accomodate two person, it is very unconfortable. Protection against mosquito are absolutely necessary, you cannot enjoy the garden without a strong protection against.
• Camilla (8/5): - A 20 min à pied du centre ville mais c’est un endroit magnifique et silencieux —-
• Odile (8/5): Séjour agréable dans un cadre privilégié loin de la foule. Lieu très agréable avec terrasse privée. - Superbe emplacement dans un jardin privé. Beaucoup de charme. Canapé lit pas confortable.
• Augros (9/5): Séjour agréable. -
• Brankovič (9/5): Superb -
• Mitchell (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andy (9/5): Superb - Lovely gardens, providing much needed shade in hot weather. Lovely character buildings in secure gardens. A little out of town but great bus services to get everywhere from there.
• Ibrahim (7/5): Good -
• Jayne (10/5): Beautiful and tranquil retreat within walking distance of downtown Florence - This is a beautiful property located in tranquil gardens across the river from downtown Florence. The host CleanBnB and the owner were super friendly and helpful. The rooms are superb and the beds incredibly comfortable. There is also air conditioning if needed. There are three rooms total and my colleagues and I ended up booking the whole property between us so it was really private too. There's a lovely outside area for each room to enjoy the weather and gardens. The location was great for my work trip, but the walk into town was quite lovely too. There's a bus stop right by the main gate so easy to get around too (albeit at the running of the Florence buses!). Key collection was straight forward, we let our host know when to meet us and he was great and showed us around. Would absolutely stay again! N/A, was perfect.
• Owen (9/5): A quiet oasis outside of central Florence - A quiet oasis just outside of Florence, locked compound with parking on site, comfortable bed, friendly owner and helpful staff It takes ~30 minutes to walk to the property up a hill from central Florence, however there is a bus which stops on the main road right outside
• Ajay (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely room . Excellent location. Owner was there to welcome us and was really helpful. Nothing .
• Ekaterine (7/5): Good - It was in wonderful green area You must pay for every single detail
• Riccardo (7/5): Good -
• Kayleen (9/5): A very enjoyable stay in this beautiful gated property away from the crowds - The property is in a beautiful gated area with lovely garden surrounds and away from the crowds. It is a 2km walk down to the city centre. The owner Cara was lovely and the room was cozy. There was a restaurant not far from the property that was excellent. There was not enough room for 2 large suitcases if you wanted to stay for longer.
• Charlie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrew (7/5): Loved Florence, but as only there for 2 nights we could have done with somewhere closer. - Beautiful Florence exterior, lovely gardens, shower very good. On the first day they accommodated an early check in and Klara the host gave us a lift to Michelangelo Plazza which was unusual and very kind all round. “Little things” let us down - the WiFi rarely worked, no milk for tea, couldn’t get the air-conditioning to work as we’d have liked. The distance to the city. When we left in the morning we were effectively out for the day which meant dressing accordingly etc. The set up would suit some people more than others.
• Alina (7/5): Good - Lovely garden and location, very friendly host. I think the property is perfect for two people, but the sofa bed is not comfortable. The bedroom/bathroom was clean, but the living room/kitchen area really needed to be vacuumed. The sofa bed was dusty and I think it was over a year since somebody vacuumed the sofa or under the sofa bed.
• Karla (10/5): Exceptional -
• Felix (10/5): Exceptional -
• Frazer (10/5): Lovely place, beautiful gardens and patio to have coffee in the mornings, I’d recommend staying here. - The property is beautiful, short walk to Galileo square which has a beautiful view of the city. The bus stop is just outside and is the surrounding gardens feel like a call escape from the hussel of Florence. Everything was great, it’s about a 15 minute bus ride out of Florence so bear that in mind. Sometimes you have to get the bus from a 10 minute walk away depending on the time of day. I would recommend the owner get new pillows, they were so thin and quite old, the sheets also felt quite cheap. Also we stayed for 4 nights and we’re told that if we wanted fresh towels there was a charge, this seemed pretty tight, surely you can give fresh towels for free if your staying for 4 nights.
• Rod (9/5): Excellent location close to town but surrounded by gardens - Nice Tuscan Garden. Close enough to everything central. Nice Garden morning experience. Guests super nice.
• Michele (10/5): Exceptional - Peace and quiet, beautiful apartment and garden and safe location
• Julie (9/5): Superb - Loved the location, amid trees and greenery, which made it a haven after spending time in the historic centre. Plenty of space and a comfortable bed. I was disappointed that we were only provided with 2 toilet rolls, one set of towels and a dribble of washing up liquid for a 7 night stay, and no mid week cleaning service or indeed equipment for cleaning the unit ourselves.
• Sinan (9/5): Superb -
• Sapargali (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nino (10/5): Exceptional -
• Migle (9/5): Superb -
• Dragos (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bou (8/5): Very good -
• David (7/5): Beautiful property but uphill trek needed to get back. - Accommodation itself was fine. Despite distance outside town we had a really nice time. Chap who met us on arrival had no idea regarding where nearest supermarket was or info regarding bus routes, bus stops etc. Distances on web are "as the crow flies". This could not be more misleading. Going into Florence is not unpleasant, its downhill all the way. Coming back is a different uphill issue. We had a map of Florence. Our accommodation was not on it. That's how far it was to walk.
• Elizabeth (9/5): We enjoyed our time here. - It was away from the busy downtown and gave a feeling of being amongst the villas of the Tuscan Hills. It was quiet and clean. Host - in their own home - was helpful about the buses to take to town and nearby restaurants. We preferred the walk back and forth to the old centre. It is several kilometres and up the hill to get home each day, but there is a pathway through parkland to cut off the curves of the road. Plus, there are some great restaurants by the Pitti Palace. We ate dinner on the way home most evenings. HopOn-Hop Off buses have a stop here. Taxi didn’t know where to pick us up one morning - even though we were dropped off by the same taxi company the first day of our stay. The host says the taxi company knows where the lodgings are. Just ask the host when checking in for precise address for the taxi company.
• Cynthia (6/5): Beautiful but difficult - and you need to BRING YOUR OWN TOILET PAPER - Here is the positive part of this stay: The property itself was beautiful and peaceful. The grounds a peaceful and well kept, and the apartment was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. It's a solid 30 minute walk to and from the center of Florence, but the walk is beautiful. The service was the worst we experienced in our 3 week stay in Italy. Whenever we messaged the contact with a question, we were told that they don't know anything, they just manage the property. We needed more toilet paper (the 2 rolls we were provided are very small, and being Americans we do not use bidets, and the bidet in the apartment was broken and off the wall. Plus my daughter was on her cycle and needed more than normal). The contact told us that we were responsible for our own toilet paper. This is RIDICULOUS and was not stated in the listing (I took screen shots to be sure.) I asked the contact for the name of a store and location of where I can go get some toilet paper, and again he answered he doesn't know and I should just google it. So I had to give up hours of my vacation to research, walk 30+ minutes each way, and buy toilet paper. There is NO way that a guest should have to provide their own toilet paper. We asked about the bus, and we were told again that he knew nothing and could not help us. You need to hire managers who actually know the property and the neighborhood. We paid a lot of money for zero service. You need to provide your guests with local information, bus system information, stores, and toilet paper!
• Bea (8/5): Very comfortable and excellent. - It was very clean, quiet and had beautiful surroundings. It was slightly far from the city centre, but within 20-30minutes walk you reached town.
• Mrs (10/5): Another gem in Firenze - What a beautiful place. We had a late flight and arrived after midnight. Leonardo had been in contact prior to this welcoming us and giving instructions for our late arrival. Leonardo was awaiting us and was a genuinely lovely man. He was courteous, professional and helpful. The accommodation was beautiful it was clean and very comfortable as well as beautifully decorated. We had a lovely surprise in the morning when we sat outside on the patio surrounded by nature, so peaceful. Cara the owner introduced herself and was very pleasant and helpful. Cara thought it might rain so came out to give us an umbrella. Leonardo and Cara also arranged for a taxi to the airport. I would highly recommend this property and will definitely be revisiting. We had a wonderful time in Firenze thank you. There was nothing to dislike.
• Perez (10/5): So pretty and comfortable -
• Peter (10/5): Superb - Everything!!!! Nothing
• Lisde (10/5): Exceptional and romantic!! - I was blown away by the property! It was in a very beautiful neighborhood. The area was just far enough from the city center to avoid the crowds and rush hours, but close enough to still get there quickly. Our stay was very comfortable. It was my husband and I’s first trip without kids, friends or family and this was a really romantic place to stay. If we get the opportunity of coming back, we intend on staying here again. There wasn’t anything I didn’t like.
• Yunus (10/5): Perfect Experience. - Just a perfect stay. That was a different kind of experience for us. Property is like a village and you can wake up with a birds good harmony. Property responsible and owner was very kind and help us a lot. If you want to feel different experience, you should select that property. Property is far away from city center and you can not find public transportation easily. You should use car or taxi to go anywhere.
• Adam (10/5): Quiet secluded paradise - Absolutely stunning location and apartment. Very welcoming host. Easy to get to the city centre. Away from the crowds of central Florence. 10/10 in all aspects.
• Kim (10/5): Exceptional - South of the river, which is the best place to stay in Firenze. In very nice and safe garden and in walking distance to the South (Rome) Gate to Firenze center
• Amaan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Degeilh (10/5): We loved our time here. - Quiet, tucked away from summer crowds, clean, and stunning
• Jelle (10/5): Very pretty and an amazing stay if you love green and a peaceful atmosphere. - Super pretty and green area just upside the hill of Florence. Owner of the property was super nice and helped us well. Walking to Florence was quite far and the bus unreliable.
• Matthias (7/5): Beautiful but pricey stay in Florence - Great location a bit outside of Florence, up a hill, very quiet. 20 minutes walking down to Ponte Vecchio (or take the bus that leaves right in front of the gate) Very clean and beautiful home and gardens. At the end of the day it is a tiny room with a bed and a bathroom. For that it was a bit pricey, the bathroom could use a make over
• Cath (10/5): this was a perfect ‘oasis’ just outside Florence - 20 mins walk to the centre and easy access to Boboli gardens - beautiful outdoor space with dedicated seating and dining area. Quirky decor - characterful property. fabulous walk down into Florence. Amazing restaurant nearby with the most fabulous views.
• Virender (10/5): Best stay for Florence - Location, garden and cozy appatment -
• Denisa (8/5): Good but not great! - It is a very nice area, even if is not city center. Bus stop just across the street which made the access to the city center very easy. The property needs some improvements, some furniture was broken. The services… they provide coffee machine and was suppose to also have coffee capsules, but in fact was only ONE capsule for 2 people for 3 days🙃. The is no iron, even if is mentioned at the facilities.
