A very comfortable and modern apartment overlooking Florence!

We loved staying here! It was an easy walk to Florence's city center, and nice to be in one of the neighborhoods. Some amazing food nearby (especially Kagura) and some easy locations for groceries. If we stay in Florence again, I'm going to see if this apartment is available.

Great spot

This was a great spot for our trip. Very clean, great location right by the tram but we also walked to all the sites easily. We found a great neighborhood pizza spot and cuban Italian spot. The neighborhood was great and quiet.

Beautiful view within walking distance of city center

We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment. It was well furnished, the bed was super comfortable and the outdoor area was fantastic. The city center is an easy 20 minute walk, but the apartment itself is situated in a nice neighborhood with shops, restaurants, etc.. Would definitely stay here if we visit Florence again.

Penthouse in Florence

Spacious room with sofa and seating, full kitchen, and amazing terrace overlooking Florence. Take the time to read the hosts notes on restaurants locally and other tips for visiting the area. We spent most of the time on the terrace when we were there, a lovely view of the city and the surrounding areas. Very easy communication with the host - Enjoy!

Great little appointment

A little hiccup at check in that was partly my fault. An absolute perfect location to stay when visiting Florence and surrounding areas. Three tram stops to the centre of town and some lovely small restaurants about 500m away. It’s good to get out of town at the end of the day, sit on the terrace in the sun and enjoy a drink, then a short walk to a restaurant. We particularly liked the Cuban and the Pizza place along the road opposite the front door. All in all a perfect place for us.

Beautiful apartment and views

We loved this modern apartment with it’s walkout terrace are. The tram is just down the street to get you to the city center in just minutes. Great corner bar/cafe to have coffee or wine. We found a great neighborhood area just n/w of the apartment and a 3-5 minute walk. Would definitely stay here again

Decided to book something else after arriving on site

Property was dirty, outdoor furniture had stains, there were bugs all over the porch, and the view of the duomo was blocked by cranes and a construction site. We got there and realized this wasn’t for us so we booked another hotel for our stay.

Beautiful little penthouse

We had a wonderful stay here! The penthouse is all updated and cleaned. It has a beautiful view of the city from the terrace. We were also close to some shops and restaurants, so it was very convenient, as well. It is easy to get to from the train station, and the check in process was smooth. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great place. Great location for our needs.

Wonderful apartment with a great rooftop patio. Very convenient to transportation(tram is just down the block that takes you to aor port/ city center/train station) and local food/shops. Host was extremely good at communicating with us in helping us get situated. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice place just outside of the city center. I will stay again if we make it back here someday.

A different experience in Florence away from city center

The penthouse is a lovely place outside city center. We enjoyed taking the tram and the corner bar for our coffee breaks. Great view and clean. We could have stayed longer and cooked and enjoyed the terrace but we were short on time. I had a hard time communicating with the owner in the VRBO site on my phone in italy. I would receive a message and it was blank when I wanted to respond, which was frustrating. A bit expensive in my opinion since nothing was included in the price for 2 adults and one minor.

About the host

Hosted by Guglielmo Carozza

Host profile image
Coming from Maremma, I became a Florentine by adoption, I watch tons of movies, I love being outdoors, the sun, the sea, and the relax. In general I like to make people feel good , and as host my goal is to know that my guests have enjoyed their stay in my apartment.

Why they chose this property

I decided to rent this house because I want to share with my guests the wonderful view over the historic center of Florence, which you can enjoy from the large windows and the terrace and that is visible from a few other places in town.

What makes this property unique

Clearly what made ​​me fall in love with this little attick is the magnificence of the 180° panorama of Florence : the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio , the Medici Chapels If I get the chance to welcome you to then you will tell me what you think, accept bets . :)
