Amazing cottage!

We stayed here for two weeks while I attended a language school. It’s close enough to walk everywhere (10-15 minutes). It has so much charm and was quiet. The photos really don’t do it justice. We would definitely stay here again. Also, communication was great. Thank you Anna Maria and Massimiliano for an amazing stay in Florence!

Florence Hideaway

The property is lovely and very well supplied. The setting in an inner courtyard is lovely and quiet, and we enjoyed the ability to park our rental car onsite. The location in the Oltrarno is wonderful - with great shops and restaurants in almost every block, and yet only a 15 minute walk to the Uffizzi Gallery across the Arno. We very much enjoyed our stay!

fabulous location, beautiful space!

We loved staying here.. close to everything we wanted to do.. it was a little dark.. so more light would help... I was caught off guard by the bedroom with the single bed had a private bath.. and the two bedrooms with double beds shared a bathroom.. but othewise this place was fantastic. We definitely recommend it and stay there again.

Good stay

The apartment is as advertised. Checking in was a bit difficult because the host was not as responsive as others on VRBO. The caretaker of the property was fabulous and very attentive. It seems like this place is mostly a summer rental. We were there in the winter and the first night was very very cold - almost not bare able. We had to complain the next day and they

A lovely stay in Oltrarno

We stayed in the carriage house at this lovely old villa on our three day stop in Florence. The check-in was easy and flexible - our train was delayed but coordination was easy with the host. Our unit was nicely appointed and clean, and the location was wonderful - close enough to the major sites on the other side of the Arno but not in the thick of things. Highly recommended!

Nice setting. Great location. We were across the river from the busiest sections but close enough to walk to the places we wanted to visit. Apartment was big enough for 4 adults to be comfortable. Nice (antique) furnishings. Doorman was very helpful.

Just Perfect!

Awesome property! It’s pretty, clean, spacious and feels like home while you’re on vacation. Rather unique property as it’s a coach house setback with a garden surrounding it. Super quiet and very beautiful! Great location! Washer and AC are new and worked well. Grocery store close, shopping close, and lots of historic landmarks within walking distance. Need to walk up cool cobble stone stairs to get to apartment. We loved it!

Walk about Florence

The apartment is in a great location and close to many restaurants and shops. It has a great feel of Italy and it is so nice to relax there after a long day of sightseeing. The set up is very unique and offers privacy to the guests. We will definitely rent again if we go back to Florence.

Great Location

As stated in prior reviews, this is a very nice, roomy and well maintained historic property in a great location. It was a very easy walk to all we wanted to do during our 1 week, late May stay. The property manager was onsite during business hours and quickly responsive to any requests for assistance. We recommend this flat to others.

Celebrating the New Year in Florence!

This is such a true representation of Florence, stay here to feel like you are a part of the city. Not just in a nice hotel. Very comfortable, has everything you need. Such history. Would highly recommend! An extra set of keys would be helpful if two couples are staying but otherwise a super place!!!

Great location and soacious

Five of us stayed here - all over 70. Location was great, spacious apartment. But a few little things were off. Drains in showers were slow. Some lighting flickered and was pretty dim. Kitchen was not stocked - I know that’s an extra but we’d just come from Venice where our apartment had everything we needed. I feel I’m being overly critical, because we would stay here again. The place just needs a little more TLC and oversight. One extra thing - the second bath was off the single bed bedroom so it was hard for the other 4 people to use. Overall the apartment was good ++ and we would stay again.

Great location and retreat from crowds

Clean, quiet, nice living room area. Comfortable beds, good reading lights, lots of storage. All the basics needed are there but no extras (BYO shampoo, dish cloth, etc). We were there for a week with 4 adults, so an extra key and extra towels would have been awesome. Otherwise grateful for such a comfortable well located space.

Great location!

The Property Owner and on-site representative were very good to work with. The only issue we ran into was the washing machine was inoperable during our 6 day stay which was one of the reasons why we picked this house. That was an unexpected incovenience for us. It would be helpful if a microwave was provided as well but otherwise, a good place to stay.

Beautiful Apartment on the other side of the Arno

We really appreciated staying on the other side of the Arno. We tend to enjoy a little peace and quiet and so this apartment was absolutely perfect. We felt as close to the Boboli Gardens as were were to the Uffizi. The other side of the Arno is low key, filled with locals, and comfortable. The highlight of the apartment was when the courtyard was filled with beautiful classical music one morning and floated in through the window (soft enough not to bother anyone who didn't want to listen, but audible enough for any lover a music to be delighted)--it was absolutely enchanting. I highly recommend this lovely apartment.

Palace Living

This palace built in 1444 was surreal to live in during our stay in Florence. The neighborhood of Oltrarno is a perfect location as is the apartment. Great ristorantes, marketing and shops right outside the door. White, crisp bed linens. Beds were comfortable. AC worked as needed. Added benefit is the brand new washing machine. Three star on cleanliness- needs a through cleaning to include a good dusting of light fixtures. My bathroom had chunks of gunk left on the floor from sweeping. A second set of towels would be good for longer stays such as ours. The doorman was welcoming and helpful. Parking our car in the courtyard was perfect. Taxi service was quick. I would stay here again.
