Guest Reviews
- anand (10/5): - Excellent property
Great Hosts
- c (9/5): -
- Serge01 (9/5): - Tout sauf le bruit. L'emplacement est top, tout près du centre, mais la rue est très bruyante tôt le matin avec la queue pour entrer au musée. La propriétaire est très aimable et prévenante.
- jean luc (7/5): - emplacement correct mais accès un peu"coupe-gorge" à l'immeuble. Bien au dessous de la prestation annoncée. Par contre l'appartement est de qualité. Pas de petit déjeuner sur place. Obligé de sortir et d'aller dans une trattoria : ce n'est pas ce qui est annoncé sur le site, de mémoire. De plus la femme de ménage ne sais même pas faire un lit correctement. L'ascenseur doit dater de 1920 : à revoir !!!
- Michele (1/5): Il prezzo non vale il viaggio - La posizione e la proprietaria Cattivi odori di fogna dovuto dagli scarichi , poca pulizia e servizi inesistenti ( nel frigorifero 1 bottiglia di acqua nemmeno sigillata )
- Gina (9/5): Wonderful and convenient place to stay in when in Florence - The place was close to public transportation, restaurants,Duomo, grocery, shopping, etc Because it was right across Academia, it's a bit noisy from 8 am to 8 pm;
- William (8/5): -
- Holger (10/5): -
- SUNGCHUL (10/5): -
- Гюльнара (10/5): -
- Oumaima (9/5): - Superbe appartement idéalement situé en plein centre de Florence. L’emplacement est parfait pour tout faire à pied et profiter pleinement de la ville.
Le personnel est vraiment très sympathique et accueillant, nous nous sommes sentis comme à la maison dès notre arrivée.
La propreté était impeccable, avec un ménage inclus vraiment au top. Une très belle expérience, nous recommandons sans hésiter ! Rien
- Kayo (10/5): イタリーの貴族の生活を想像できました。 - ドゥオモ、アカデミア、リッカルディ宮に近く、ドゥオモにはライトアップの時間の夜にもういちどいきました。夜8時にはジオットの鐘の音も聞けたし、近くでないとニ度もおとずれることはできなかったと思います。
昔の貴族の館を改造してホテルにしたので、建物自体、内部の設えも素晴らしかったです。 お風呂が無くてシャワーだけだった点が残念でした。
- Irene (10/5): - Very beautiful old building. Fantastic location. Large, stylish and greatly furnished apartment. Lots of light. Very quiet despite being on a crowded street (in front of Accademia Gallery)
- Alessandro (9/5): - Posizione fantastica e centrale: difronte all Accademia. La spaziosità della appartamento e i letti comodi rendono il soggiorno piacevole e rilassante.La proprietaria poi è sempre disponibile e gentile.
- Frank (10/5): Great apartment mid in Firenze - Great apartment in a 800 year full refurbished florentian palazzo. Also very central in Firenze.
The host informed us about everything also activities and visits in the city. --
- Kristina (10/5): Great location, comfortable, spacious, clean and updated. - The location was ideal, the room was so comfortable and spacious, it was clean, and honestly a place I would stay again anytime! Nothing. It was great.
- CHELO (9/5): Para repetir - La ubicación, el trato de Francesca y la amplitud del apartamento. También los pequeños detalles. Las escaleras no son para todo el.mundo.
- Charmayne (10/5): - We have really enjoyed our stay. Our host were in touch with us to help with locating the property, they allowed us to check in early and ensured we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was huge and very comfortable. Lots of space to relax after a busy day. The location is perfect, you can arrive from the airport or train station with the T2 tram which is a short 2min walk to the apartment. The Dumo can be seen down the street so very central. Highly recommend a stay here.
- Rima (10/5): Yet again, a wonderful stay! - Just like our stay here 2 years ago, everything was fabulous:
The location
The beautiful fully euipped apartment
The wonderful staff
The comfort, quiet, reasonable price,etc
We would never think to stay anywhere else in Florence! Nothing
- Daphne (9/5): Beautiful appartment, great location! - We decided to spend a little more on a centrally located appartment and this place is really something. High ceilings, wooden floors, antique furniture. Very spacious and clean. Plus the location is everything: right in front of Michelangelo's David and a few minutes walk from the Duomo. Old plumbing- but that's out of anybody's control. There's a lift to bring you to the third floor where our appartment was located but it moved so slow that we only used it twice, for our luggage. The stairs are a challenge too, though.
- Grazia (10/5): Consigliatissimo - Arredamento accogliente. Posizione attategica Qualche volta c’era un cattivo odore nel bagno
- Jorge (10/5): Great location and very attentive staff. - The property location, literally across from galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze (Michelangelo's David), and half a block away from the tram and bus stops was great. The apartment was very spacious and the staff was very attentive from even before we arrived.
- Gabriella (8/5): Comoda, bella e con servizi utili - La posizione ottima per raggiungere i mezzi ma anche le attrazioni.
L'appartamento accogliente e a misura di noi famiglia con una bimba. Ho apprezzato molto la possibilità di avere il seggiolone per mia figlia.
La stanza molto bella e accogliente così come la cucina e il bagno. Il secondo giorno avevamo chiesto di pulire ma non è stato fatto...o almeno per terra era ancora sporco.
Un'altra cosa che non ci è piaciuta è stato il cattivo odore che sentivamo la mattina una volta che usavamo l'ascensore, arrivati al pian terreno...forse la fognatura?
Per il resto tutto ok
- Simone (9/5): Comodità su tutto - Posizione vicino al centro e comfort
- zhouaijun (10/5): - 房间非常具有佛罗伦萨古典的风格,房间的层高很高,对面就是美术学院的展览馆,交通很方便。主人也很贴心。
- Elisabeth (9/5): - Tres bel appartement, excellent emplacement
- Alessandra (9/5): In centro a Firenze bellissimo appartamento in palazzo storico - L'appartamento è molto bello. Letti extra large e biancheria di alto livello. in uno dei 2 bagni sarebbero comodi i porta asciugamani
- Helene (10/5): Fantastisch! - De locatie. De supervriendelijke en attente gastvrouwen. Het mooie en ruime appartement. Alles dus eigenlijk!
- Thais (5/5): Ruim. - Localização excelente Reservei como hotel e não era. Não tinha recepção e a entrada era horrível. O elevador super pequeno e demorado l. O chuveiro era muito ruim e o aquecedor não funcionou. Reclamei desde o primeiro dia do aquecimento pois estava com um bebê e a moça disse que era lei na Itália permanecer em 21 graus, mas nem no 21 estava. No último dia me
Entregou o controle do ar que tb era aquecedor.
No dia do check out que era as 10. Avisei que chegaria às 10 pra amamentar e sair e quando cheguei minha mala estavam No hall. Péssima experiência
- ajit (10/5): -
- brahim (10/5): Hôte superbe - L appartement est grand et bien situé. L’hôte est extrêmement gentille et serviable. Rien
- Ruemmler (9/5): - Location is perfect for visiting Florence. It is extremely close to the T2, so getting to/from the Florence airport is a breeze. Easy walk to the train station and attractions around town. The apartment was very comfortable. There is some street noise in the morning as the apartment is right across the street from the Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze which will start generating a crowd after 8:00. If you are an early riser, this is not a problem. I just used ear plugs.
- Keirsten (10/5): -
- Elizabeth (9/5): -
- Roman (8/5): Nice apartment in a great location and with a great host - - location close to the Santa Maria del Fiore
- the interior and the view from the windows

Great location Nothing

- Yamabe (10/5): We would recommend it to friends and come back if e - Francesca and Valeria were wonderful hosts. The place was beautiful and comfortable. Good kitchen and bathroom facilities. It was in walking distance of many places we wanted to see as a tourist. Maybe check out the smell coming from the ground floor and up through the stairwell. Not a deal breaker but something for the owner to be mindful of.
- Anna (10/5): Soggiorno molto positivo -
- TINA (10/5): Valeria and Francesca were fantastic and easily reachable and accommodating. Please stay here. Great location too. Apart - Location. Owner’s representative met at property and we were able to check in early. Also able to accommodate us for extra day because of flight cancellations. Absolutely nothing

- Zanella (10/5): -
- Katie (10/5): - The location was excellent and the owners were so helpful and very professional. Rooms were big and spacious and very well equipped.
- Hamza (10/5): - Very nice location, host and a nice amenities. The welcome was quite straight forward and the host was really responsive. My parents and I really enjoyed our stay. Parking with the hotel would have been nice but I can understand it being in a padestrian zone however the interior and the services were spectacular.
- Tapas Kumar (9/5): Good value for money - Location, everything is walking distance. Property is clean, family friendly and spacious.

- Atef (10/5): Wonderful all around - The location was great and quiet bc it overlooked an inner courtyard. The ceilings were high, spacious, super Italy vibes. The hosts were AMAZING. One of the hosts lives in the same building which can be convenient if you need anything. They were available all the time, helped us get transport and checked in with us daily. There is daily cleaning for the apartment which was nice. Super clean. Great location, literally right across from Accademia Gallery. Elevator was super slow but the fact the property had one was great. Strong moldy smell in the shower.
- Amarquaye (9/5): - Clean, well maintained rooms. Excellent supporting instructions and advise for restaurants, tourist sites, etc. Elevator was slow but safe
- Xue Qin (8/5): -
- Audrey (9/5): Heerlijk! - De locatie is geweldig!Fransesca is een geweldige gastvrouw en enorm hartelijk met enorm veel goede tips. Hou er rekening mee dat de lift hydraulisch is en dat die daardoor langzaam gaat. En heel fijn dat de lift aanwezig is.
- Imran (9/5): Awesome - Room was spacious and location great. Plus Francesca recommendations on resturant and breakfast outlets were perfect - must try! Also the room has daily house keeping which was great. Lift - slow but does the job

- Petras (10/5): - Perfect location, clean, quiet.
- Alicia (9/5): Es un lugar encantador, las personas a cargo son muy amables, volvería sin dudas - El lugar es muy agradable Francesca y Valeria sumamente atentas. La ubicación es fantástica, muy cerca del Duomo. Como está frente a la Academia donde se visita el David, hay mucha gente en la cuadra esperando para verlo, y el rumor sube un poco. La ambientación es de muy buen gusto. Entendimos que reponían los productos de toilette a diario y no fue así. Quizás no entendimos bien las indicaciones. La limpieza diaria es muy liviana, la hacen a fondo cuando cambian los residentes.
- Arthur Lee (9/5): Good Room, Good Location, Great Host! - The host Francesca was amazing and helped me with all and any issues I had. The room is very spacious and well kept. The location is also prime given that its right in front of the Galleria DellAcademia. Also very quiet at night. There were some complications with the shower heater and Francesca was very helpful with that. There is also an inconvenience if you plan to go there by car. The road to the apartment was under construction and the alternative route was in ZTL so mind that.
- Milan (10/5): Very comfortable apartment with everything you need. - Great location, plenty of space, great host. Was able to accommodate us earlier. Everything was great
