Awesome apartment, cleverly designed to fit two bedrooms, living area, kitchen and bathroom into a small space. It is located right in the heart of Florence 2min walk from the Duomo and 5 min walk to the Uffizi. The hike up the stairs with our luggage was worth it for the location. Thank you.

Excellent accommodation
The apartment was wonderful! So much attention to detail put into its layout and to the furnishings and fittings. It really made it a home away from home. It is on the 4th floor so be aware of that. Check in was fine, but you do need wifi access each time you open the building and apartment doors. Thank you Sylvia for a great apartment.

Hideaway in the heart of Florence
Amazing location and very well appointed and organised apartment with everything you could need. Very comfortable beds great kitchen and bathroom. View of the cathedral dome from our balcony. Once we worked out the Vikey electronic check-in system it was ok but it required logging into wifi before getting onto the floor. Getting luggage up and down the steep stairs is a challenge but worth it once you are there. Make sure you have a backpack you can carry on your back not a wheeled bag. One technical issue with equipment beeping but was quickly fixed by the owners.

Fabulous accommodation
This is a fabulous property that can’t be faulted and is completely as advertised. We spent five nights here as the last stop of a six week trip from Australia. The apartment is comfortable, spacious and very clean. The kitchen is very well equipped. There is a dishwasher but we couldn’t find any sponge or scrubber to hand wash with. Having the use of a washing machine and dryer was a real bonus. Plenty of hot water in the shower. We enjoyed having our lunch or an afternoon drink on the small terrace with the view of the Duomo. The apartment is so central and was an easy walk to and from the railway station. It was lovely just to decide to go for a walk in the city at night. Yes, there are many steps up to the apartment but it is really worth it to arrive in this oasis right in the city. Plenty of restaurants close. Highly recommended.

Simply Stunning
This has to be the classiest apartment we have ever stayed in. It is beautifully appointed, immaculately furnished (including some lovely artwork) and has every conceivable amenity. Yes the stairs might be a challenge for someone with fitness or mobility limitations, but for us they were just a mild inconvenience totally outweighed by the pleasure staying in this apartment brought us. The location, too, is absolutely perfect. The entrance fronts on to a small medieval courtyard just around the corner from the Duomo. It was simply bliss sitting on the apartment's terrace on the warm evenings with a glass of chilled vermintino, looking across at the Duomo as the sun slipped away. Unforgettable!

Fabulous Florence apartment
We had a wonderfiul Time in Florence because of this incredible apartment. Everything was better than expected. The rooms are beautifully decorated, the bed comfy, the little balcony and view just super. It was clean and light and pleasant to spend time in. It is right next to the duomo, restaurants, shopping and walking distance to everything that we wanted to see. We could not wait to get back to it each night and wished we had more days to enjoy it Thanks heaps Silvia and guido

Home of the Renaissance.
A beautiful, well designed apartment nestled in the heart of Florence. Perfect for for any stay. Spacious 2 bedroom apartment with everything you could ask for. Italian charm with modern luxury, with a view of the basilica from your balcony. Step out outside, your will not be disappointed, surrounded by shops, restaurants, 50 meters from Paizza Del Duomo. The apartment was quiet, located in a small side street , safe , secure, amazing. We would also like to thank Guido a great host and very helpful. Thank you Florence.. we will be back, we had an AMAZING STAY!!

Beautiful apartment in a wonderful location!
Silvia and Guido's apartment was wonderful. It was located right in the centre of town and literally took just a few minutes to walk to the Duomo Cathedral, Uffizi Gallery and the Bargello. The apartment was spotless and modern and it comfortably accommodated four adults and a baby. They provided a very comfy travel cot and high chair. The facilities were perfect and the apartment was surprisingly very quiet in the evenings. I would highly recommend staying here and we will definitely come back. Thank you for having us!

Amazing apartment
The apartment was absolutely lovely, very spacious and better than the photos. Both Silvia and Guido were very accommodating, friendly and helpful, making the whole process very easy. Although there are quite a few stairs to get to this stunning two level apartment, it was well worth it. The apartment was immaculate, open, in a very safe central location close to restaurants/cafes/shops and had a great view of the Duomo dome from the terrace which was beautiful to see lit up at night. Would highly recommend this apartment!! We loved it, will be sure to stay here again.

Everything you need right in the middle of everyrhing
Yes. There are a lot of stairs. But the location is perfect. We had everything we needed in the apartment. (We bought additional Moka grounds and dishwasher pods.) Beds were firm and comfortable. Water was warm for showers. Washer AND dryer for clothes. Our only issue is that the container for salt and for sugar were next to each other in identical vessels - so we did a lot of tasting to make sure we were using the right one!

We had a lovely stay. Close to the centre and Duomo, which was brilliant.Clean, great facilities, great additions such as soap and shower caps.We were aware of this before booking, but there are lots of steps to get to the apartment. However, the steps lead to a great view of the duomo on the balcony. Only things that could be improved was a mirror in the bedroom upstairs.

Perfect Home Away From Home
This gem of an apartment is worth the stair climbing! It is roomy, comfortable and filled with light, along with an updated and beautifully designed kitchen and bathroom. The terrace has a breathtaking view of the Duomo, whose stately bells ring right down to your core. The location is perfect, around the corner from the Duomo, the Piazzale della Repubblica and Piazza della Signoria/Uffizi Gallery. Silvia is an attentive and gracious host who makes sure you have what you need and follows up regularly.

Wonderful location and apartment
Wonderful apartment that lives up to the pictures and description. Great location! The check in process is thru an app and detailed instructions were sent via Whatsapp. I believe there are 78 steps to climb so be aware of that. It wasn't terrible. The apartment has 2 bedrooms and two queen beds. Should be very comfortable for 2 couples for a family. The kitchen is in the loft and fully stocked. The only confusing thing for me was the airconditioner/thermostat. We didn't really need it so we just opened the balcony doors...what a view! Highly recommend if the stairs don't scare you.

Hello everyone, my name is Silvia and I live in Viareggio, where I deal with tourism.
For professional reasons, therefore, I know the problems linked to hospitality.
So, together with my husband Guido, we decided to rent our apartments in Florence, providing them with all the comforts that we like to find in a house when we go on holiday and I can say that our guests are always been very satisfied. We look forward to welcoming you and we remain at your disposal for any information you might need!

Why they chose this property

It is the home of our dreams! Quiet, bright, cozy and comfortable, in the heart of the city, where "things happen"; we have restored and decorated with love and we spend all the time available, consistent with my work - which for a few years - I will keep in Viareggio. When we are not there, we want our guests and friends to live our own magic ....

What makes this property unique

The light, the silence, the beautiful view, comfort, make our nest a special place in which to relax, study, receive friends; or simply re-energize after a day of visits to the many attractions of Florence!
