We loved staying in the heart of Florence- right near the Duomo. The flat was very authentic and roomy for 2 couples. We loved the outside space. The only challenge was the odd steps inside the flat either up or down one room to the next. We had to pay attention but once we were used to it, you kind of forgot the issue. The manager that checked us in was super helpful! I couldnât say enough about how wonderful our stay was!
The apartment was spacious! And it couldnât have been located in a better place. Itâs centrally located which makes it easier if you want to explore. The concierge was great, very helpful and suggested some great restaurants local to the area. I would come back and stay!
The property and location were great. We enjoyed Florence immensely and the location was close to restauarants, stores, and supermarkets. We could even walk from the train station (20 minute walk). I would not hesitate to stay here again.
Our stay was great! The location was an incredible spot. Right in the heart of the duomo, and walking distances to many museums, restaurants and city sites! The apartment was well equipped with everything we needed and had plenty of space for us. Be prepared to walk up 4 flights of stairs, but it was a great way to get a small workout in ;). Highly recommend staying here and we look forward to coming back!
Almost perfect accommodation in the heart of Florence
Fantastic penthouse property literally a stones throw from the Duomo and fabulous restaurants and historically important architecture. 3 bedrooms, a big open plan kitchen / dining room and a small but perfectly formed balcony with a view of the Duomo top and synagogue off to the left. Great communication by the owner. 4/5 doesnt quite do it justice, but 5 would imply perfection. The minor blemishes? The two shower rooms are pretty cramped, and the showers, whilst perfectly adequate, lack water pressure to fully dowse you in water. And if youre not particularly fit, the 3 flights of steps to the top are a little tiring after a few goes as there are no lifts. But as a base for an.adventure around Florence this is damn close to perfect
Great location, lots of room and very comfortable beds! Everything was under 20 min walk. The patio was amazing and we made the most of it even with the colder weather. Had everything we needed! One downside was low water pressure in one bathroom and very tight space around the toilet in the other. But well worth it for the overall amazing space!
Florence.....so much to see from this ideal spot Vrbo rental
Property on the top floor with no lift so be prepared to walk up a few steps. Apartment was a decent size with 3 good bedrooms....although you can hear every word between 2 of the bedrooms....paper thin walls. The 3rd bedroom was off set from the main living room and kitchen but did have access to outdoor balcony space....which was nice. The apartment was "trendy" in design but we didn't use the kitchen as out most of the time. Only negative.....2 bathrooms but 1 bathroom was super tiny and difficult to use the toilet due to space. Great location and we received good recommendations for local restaurants.
It was in an excellent location. The flat was roomy and very pleasant. Lovely kitchen and living room; wonderful porch from where you can see part of the Duomo. The bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable. Both bathrooms are in
Loved the place and location. The place was very clean. Centrally located to all the sites so we could always stop back for a rest before dinner. We liked the authentic feel.
What a fantastic apartment! Such a cool old building with modern amenities. Close to wonderful Florence attractions & restaurants. The only down side is no elevator but we got our steps in to help burn off all the gelatođ The property manager met us at check in & hand is some great recommendations for places to eat!
Nice, convenient location, plenty of space, pretty views
Overall a good location that is close to many sites in Florence as well as a 15 min walk to the train station and light rail. Plenty of room for our group of 5 and the outdoor patio is nice with a views.
Kitchen was well stocked; washer and dryer in unit are very helpful
Very responsive on questions and check in.
Would stay again next time in Florence.
Our family had a wonderful stay at this apartment in Florence. The three bedrooms and two bathrooms provided ample space for us to spread out, and we particularly enjoyed relaxing on the balcony with views of the city and Duomo. The convenient location near shops, groceries, pharmacies, and restaurants made it easy for us to access everything we wanted to see. The apartment was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed. Our family truly enjoyed our visit, and we appreciated the unique features and architecture of the apartment that made our stay memorable.
We had a wonderful time and the balcony area was worth the three flights of stairs! Great location and Nico was a terrifically informative contact person. Would stay again for sure!
We loved this VRBO and highly recommend it! It has 3 bedrooms which was great, a large kitchen, a deck, 2 bathrooms and a washer and dryer which was super helpful. It was right next to the DUOMO which was fantastic and walking distance to everything.
The showers were super small but I think that is a europe thing. Would definitely stay there again.
House was great location great walking distance for site seeing & shopping. When we booked this in our search w had specific search criteria as being handicap accessible which was one reason for choosing, unfortunately this location is not that be sure you are able to walk up & carry up luggage 78 steps to enter the apartment. This was a bit of a challenge for one of our guests but we made it work.
The place was beautiful & host was very nice & responsive.
Beautiful apartment in perfect location to visit all the sites. Gaia and Nico were very helpful
Rental process very quick and efficient. Gaia and Nico were very helpful Property exactly as advertised. Will certainly book again when we return to Florence and would recommend to friends
We loved this property. It was clean and attractive. The property manager was on point and attentive to any questions we had. We loved the balcony and the neighborhood. I'm pretty finicky about places I stay and this was very nice.
Gaia and her property manager, Nicolo, were so helpful and kind! The apartment is in an amazing location - walking distance to all the markets, delicious restaurants and nightlife filled with talented musicians. The balcony is the perfect place to enjoy the cathedral bells and breathtaking views. My family and I had a lovely time and hope to return!
Large apartment with plenty of space. Lots of stairs up, but nice to be so close to the centre of the city.
The bathrooms could use a little maintenance, and it would have bee nice to have starter coffees, soap, dishwasher tabs and laundry soap provided like other places, but overall very good.
Gaiaâs place was perfect for our family vacation. Centrally located, but quiet at night. Nicolo, who checked us in, was very informative and friendly. We loved the balcony and the spacious living room. The three long flights of stairs sometimes felt daunting, but we burned off those gelatos climbing them! Beds were comfortable, bathrooms nice if somewhat small. Would definitely recommend Gaiaâs place!
The apartment is beautiful and spacious, filled with everything you could need for your stay. The balcony is huge and so peaceful! Gaia is a wonderful host and responds immediately to questions. We loved the neighborhood and only wish we could have had more time in Florence.
Communication was not all through VRBO. It made the process harder because we were sent multiple different WhatsApp phone numbers and made to communicate with different individuals via WhatsApp versus email versus VRBO.Upon arrival one of our party members got locked in a bathroom because there was no handle installed (it was later found in a drawer), the one shower was noted to have mold above it and be leaking, and the curtain in the master bedroom broke when the individual who was checking us in was showing us how to raise and lower the curtain. This was unfortunately not repaired during our stay and the sunrise, while beautiful, comes directly in that window.Additionally, the dryer did not work and there was a very heavy perfume smell that was difficult for some of our party. The stairs are as noted. The view is lovely and does put you in a very easy / accessible location.
My name is Gaia and ... this is my childhood house, so I love it immensely. At present we all live in other cities, and I couldn't bare leaving this beautiful house empty: it had to be "lived". If not by me, by anyone who appreciates its unique beauty and charm.
I poured all my heart into renovating it without losing its "ancient" feeling, to offer our guests the most comfortable and relaxing holiday. I hope you enjoy staying here as much as I enjoy sharing it with you!
