Guest Reviews
- Viktoriya (10/5): Очень рекомендуем этот апартамент! Шикарная видовая квартира с отличной локацией, 10 из 10! - Локация шикарная, квартира огромная, с великолепным видом, дизайнерская, все было на уровне, кровати очень удобные, это для нас всегда важно . Хозяйка очень приветливая женщина, спасибо ей за советы и комментарии. Если возвращаться во Флорентию, то только в этот шикарный апартамент! Не к чему даже придраться.
- Amy (3/5): While the furniture looks cute, none of it is comfortable and we couldn't get over the smell. - The location and view were great. The host was very nice. The apartment had a sewer smell so we had to keep the windows open, even in the cold because it was giving us a headache. The first day, we didn't have hot water for showers. It just went to lukewarm until the host came the next day to turn up the temperature. The toaster was broken. The kettle had rotten milk left in it. And the beds were incredibly uncomfortable - hard as a rock.
- CYaque (7/5): Great location. - The owner met us at the property and showed us each room. She was very thorough. Everything we needed was provided. You cannot beat the location. Rooms could have some hooks/hangars to hang clothes. A few things around the house could be fixed (eg bathroom toilet holder) or cleaned (eg sofas). We were not aware that one bathroom was upstairs and the other downstairs (but both bedrooms upstairs). When the owner met us she failed to tell us we needed to pay 12Euros each for tax and when she did we had already vacated the unit with keys inside. She could have collected it when we arrived. It may have been in the listing but we looked at many listings before booking and did not recall all the details of each. Ended up sliding a 50Euro bill under the door. Check out was a bit early 10am (check in 3pm)-no leeway there.
- Jeff (10/5): Highlight recommend this apartment to anyone looking to stay in the Florence area - Great location! - Beautiful location next to the river. Easily accessible to all surrounding areas of Florence. Host was super nice and communicative.
- Gilles (10/5): Excellent - La décoration de l’appartement exceptionnel

- Sarah (9/5): Superb -
- Anastasiia (10/5): Unforgettable experience in the heart of Florence - This is not the first time we have rented this apartment with our family when we come to Florence. The ideal location, infrastructure and comfort make it unique, as there are no alternatives in terms of value for money.
- Homyar (6/5): It was ok for a few days stay but not for many days. Not upto American standards according to me. - The location. Silvia was great & very responsive to texts.
The elevator was a nice feature.
The quirky furniture was fun. The bathrooms were horrible. Very inconvenient & needs to be more user friendly.
The bedroom facing the river had dust mites & looks like no one had cleaned under the dresser in ages.
The furniture looked a bit dirty & soiled.
- Nv (10/5): Exceptional - Spacious and beautiful designed apartment centrally situated near the famous Ponte Vecchio. The view from the apartment is stunning. Everything is on walking distance, there are nlovely restaurants in the area nearby. The host Silvia is very friendly and helpful. nothing
- Toni (8/5): Very good - Perfect location, artistic design, specious apartment. Bad window isolation, noise from outside.
The water pressure in bathrooms is very low and the mixer of the shower on the second floor doesn’t work properly .
- Setareh (10/5): great location, spacious apartment, very good host - The location and the view are unbeatable, the house is very spacious and the beddings are very comfortable and you have everything that you might need. Our host Silvia is very helpful with good recommendations and even helping out in getting a taxi nothing

- Konczal (10/5): Amazing, enchanting, perfect - We had the privilege of staying at Design & Tradition recently, and it was an exceptional experience. The apt is amazing... a traditional Florence medieval style building, with modern, really cool decor. Stunning views, perfect location. What truly elevated our stay was the outstanding service provided by our property manager, Silvia. Her exceptional hospitality, warm demeanor, and attention to detail made us feel like we had our very own personal assistant throughout our stay.
- Maulik (10/5): Bellisimo!!! - Everything Nothing.. Silvia and her apartment are both fantastic.. Bellisimo !!!!
- Anonymous (10/5): landlady is great. I would recommend - location furniture is very hard

Overall Highly recommended.
- Wendy (9/5): great property in a great location with great owners. - stylish, great location, view from front very good. comfortable beds. owner very friendly and gave lots of suggestions to visit, also some nice small gifts. lightstop blinds in back bedroom would make better (light from street lights). some noise from street at front (eg bins) in mornings. No Uk TV channels, but we were out a lot.
- Miroslaw (9/5): Superb - Fantastic, requiring a lot of artistic imaginative interior design.
Location in the very center, but off the beaten track of the tourist hustle and bustle.
Excellent view of the Uffizi Gallery and surroundings.
Sylwia was extremely helpful in every matter.
We highly appreciate her knowledge and manners. Arrangement of the apartament on different levels requires high physical fitness.
The property is not suitable for people with mobility problems.
This should be clearly stated in the description .
- Jane (8/5): Overall it is a great stay. Great location, great host & nice apartment! 👍 - The decor is tastefully done, modern & homely feel. The host is friendly & helpful too, responded fast when we need assistance. Location is great, and the view from the apartment is nice. The only setback is the water pressure, we still can manage though.
- Alan (10/5): Magnificent, Magnifique, Magnifico, Ausgeichnet! - Magnificent flat, with direct view of Uffizi gallery - it really couldn’t get better. You’re in the centre, but just across the river, one minute from
the Ponte Vecchio. Don’t hesitate - book!

- Erin (10/5): Exceptional - A wonderfully unique apartment! Clean, very spacious, and with loads of amenities in an exceptional location with fabulous views. Silvia was a very helpful host who booked taxis for us and gave us advice on where to shop and what to see during our stay. It wasn't an issue for us, but this is a 3-storey apartment and the stairs (which are beautiful) could be problematic for some people.
- Gary (9/5): fun fun fun - beautiful design. Great view of ponte vecchio and Uffizi Gallery. Silvia was a gracious host who checked in often for our needs the staircases, while beautiful can be difficult for seniors. could use brighter lights for reading in the living room.
- Anatoly (9/5): Superb - Really clean and spacious apartment with the amazing location and view on Uffizi Gallery. Few small issues:
1.The elevator is super small - 2 persons max
2. We got only 1 pair of keys although we were 4 guests
3.Every morning (around 6 AM) , there was a cleaning or garbage collecting vehicle outside, which made a lot of noise.
- Joshua (10/5): fantastic flat and hostess set in the heart of the city. couldn’t have asked for more -
- Arlene (10/5): Perfect, we have had the most magnificent time in Florence. We enjoyed the food and sights of the city, then relaxed and - The location of the property was Superb! A short stroll from the Ponte Vecchio bridge and overlooking the Arno river. Near cafes, restaurants and sights. The property was stylish, clean, comfortable, air conditioned and had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. I wish it was mine.
