Information to the surroundings: The apartment in Florence is located in one of the central squares of the city (Piazza San Marco) in the historic center of town.

This district Cosimo il Vecchio has left its mark. Within the walls of this area once the menagerie of the Medici family was staying. Today it is the student quarter, and during the semester, the Piazza San Marco is always populated by young people who are waiting for the start of their lectures and art classes. The Accademia di Belli Arti founded in 1563 is the oldest art academy in the world, dating back to Michelangelo.

The adjacent neighborhood to the San Lorenzo church is surrounded by a square, and a colorful market life reminds us that Florence was the city of merchants. Many of the offered products are real bargains, especially if you act like the locals with the sellers ...

Central Florence stay

We loved the location of this apartment and the views were amazing. We had a few issues with cleanliness when we arrived however these were immediately addressed by Tiberio and his wife. Do however be aware of the 6 flights of stairs to get to the apartment, but the views were worthwhile. It should also be noted that the AC was not available at all times. Despite minor issues I would recommend staying here,

Fabulous Firenze steps away from David!

Our stay in Florence was much too short which means we will just have to go back! Tiberio and his daughter Letizia greeted us warmly and showed us around their spectacular apartment. The view from the patio is incredible and you can even see the Duomo from the bedroom window which was gorgeous at sunset and during the night. Accademia which houses Michaelangelo's David is literally around the corner and all the main attractions of Firenze are within walking distance. Many delicious food options of course nearby. The only warning would be for people with mobility issues. It is 5 floors to the top with no lift/elevator but that is the norm in Europe and we were young/capable enough it didn't affect us. Tiberio is an excellent host and kept in close contact with us to make sure everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend his place to anyone wanting to stay in the heart of Florence.

Underbar vecka i Florence :)

Vi hade en fantastisk vecka i Tiberos och Gabriellas lägenhet! Nära till allt och en underbar utsikt över staden. Vi spenderade några kvällar på terrassen till stadens ljud och sov gott då det är tyst och lugnt trots ett centralt läge. Vi fick ett fint mottagande när vi kom till Firenze av Tiberos fru Gabriella och dotter, samt att vi snabbt fick hjälp att förboka en taxi tillbaka till flygplatsen. Lägenheten är välutrustad och det fanns både hårtork och plattång mm mm. Gott om utrymmen att förvara kläder mm och mycket fräscht och välstädat. Vi fick på köpet bra motion efter de 100 trappstegen upp till lägenheten :) Vi kommer gärna tillbaka!

Amazing Views

We stayed for a week in Oct 23. We found the location perfect for food, attractions, and transportation. We especially enjoyed the view of the Doumo from the bedroom and the view of San Marco Square from the balcony. We had wine on it every night. The stairs are real but not an issue for us (we are early 61 & 57). Tiberio was excellent through the entire process.

Wonderful 5 night stay

We had a fantastic stay at Tiberio’s apartment. He was so kind to allow us to drop off our baggage prior to check in and gave us a full walk through of the place. He was warm, kind, and very friendly. The view of the Duomo was a perk as well as a small terrace to look over the piazza. There are many restaurants nearby as well as a grocery store. It was a huge surprise that the museum with Michelangelo’s David was right around the corner! I would recommend Tiberio’s place without hesitation.

Amazing stay

Couldn’t have asked for a better area to stay or a nicer view! The location is so central and walkable, but not overwhelmingly busy. We felt so lucky to have a place to stay with such amazing views of the city and mountains. Communication was great as well with our hosts.

San Marco

Perfecte ligging om Firenze te verkennen. Parkeren kan niet bij het appartement maar er zijn genoeg parkings in de omgeving die je op voorhand kan boeken. De trappen naar de 5e verdieping moet je erbij nemen. Stromend water is niet evident in dit hoog gelegen appartement: de waterdruk is wisselvallig. De winkel is om de hoek en je hebt een bakker en restaurant op het San Marco plein. De communicatie met de eigenaar was zeer goed. Tiberio, de eigenaar, beantwoordt steeds al je vragen. Er is WiFi en dit werkt ook op het terras met zicht op het klooster van San Marco. Indien we Firenze opnieuw bezoeken, dan verblijf ik er opnieuw. Dank aan Tiberio!

Best balcony in Firenze

Our family of 4 absolutely loved this place. The balcony was our highlight every night with the views, the entertainment from the piazza below and local beer and wine and snacks from the market around the corner. We walked to everything from here. Plus there is a fabulous bread shop and a cafe that had the best croissants, espressos, desserts and pizza right below as recommended by our host.

A wonderful retreat right on top of central Florence

Tiberio’s apartment offers a spacious retreat with amazing views of the Duomo and the mountains surrounding Florence—all a stone’s throw from the Duomo and in walking distance to all of the city’s offerings. The kitchen is well-appointed and includes all the basics and some extras necessary to cook (salt, pepper, sugar, flour, oil, vinegar, etc). Tiberio is a kind host, attentive to providing you an enjoyable stay. And the stairs, while certainly not suitable for someone with mobility issues, will make you feel less guilty for all the gelato you’ll consume! The view is most worthwhile. I hope to return again soon.

Nice Location and great views.

The apartment is located very central and everything of interest can be reached by walking. It is quite a few stairs to climb but u will be rewarded with some nice views over the city. There is shop and a decent restaurant downstairs and a bus stop if u want to venture further out. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much.

Fabulous Florence

Fabulous apartment in great location in Florence with beautiful views from balcony and from main bedroom. Helps to keep fit as up 5 flights of stairs with no lift. All the main sights within easy walk from apartment. Hosts kept us well informed throughout and even visited at end of our stay to ensure we had enjoyed ourselves. I would recommend this apartment.

In the Heart of the Action

This property is perfectly situated on a major piazza, a half-block from the museum that houses the David, with a taxi stand out front and a selection of restaurants and gelato stands right next door. There is a supermarket about a block away. The outdoor rooftop patio has a view of the piazza and the hills to the north, while the bathroom and master bedroom have a view of the Duomo to the south. The owner speaks good English, and is very responsive to issues. When the WiFi cut out on one day, he came later the same day and fixed it. Why four stars instead of five? Be aware that you must climb 97 stairs to get to the unit. This is a lot harder than it sounds, especially in summer humid heat, and with luggage or groceries. Also, the water pressure was very low when we were there in the summer, which meant that the "on demand" water heater did not register the water flow - resulting in only cold water being available most of the time.

Clean and well-furnished apartment in great location

A very well-kept and clean apartment with a great view of the Duomo and San Marco square. Our host welcomed us on the first day and met with us once more before we left, such hospitality and professionalism! The location is a very convenient base to explore Florence; the apartment is just a step away from the Accademia and many sights were within walking distance, this made our day given the heatwave that befell the birthplace of the Renaissance. We walked to the Duomo, Uffizi gallery, Medici Chapel and central market. We especially enjoyed the near by Chinese restaurant and 1950s all-American themed restaurant. If exhausted, there are also eateries just below the apartment as is the bus station. A Carrefour supermarket is also just around the corner. The evenings were quiet and after a day packed with appreciating paintings, sculptures, Florentine ingenuity and creativity, my hubby enjoyed sitting at the patio watching the San Marco Museum and piazza bask in an ochre hue. Thank you Firenze and Tiberio for a memorable family vacation! The M family.

Delightful room with a view

The property was exactly what we needed for our Italian adventure. Florence was the last stop on our vacation and we really loved it. The bathroom was good size and was able to accommodate 3 adults. The bedrooms were also large and comfortable. And the view from the master.... incredible! We laughed about the stairs, but definitely not for anyone who can’t climb 4 flights. The view, the deck, and the property in general make up for the climb - in spades. We were able to make day trips to Fiesole one day and then to Pisa on another. Really great home base and could have actually done more, but wanted to explore the city where we were. Tiberio was a gracious and helpful host. Would stay here again when we come back to Florence. Happy travels to you and thank you again, Tiberio, for your hospitality :). The Reed’s
