Brilliant Florence stay

We arrived and were met promptly by the wonderful Neil even after a late change in plans. The apartment exceeded expectations - beautifully furnished, comfortable beds, great spacious areas, amazing kitchen facilities, a place we would love to have been able to spend longer than our planned two days. The position is exceptional - no more than a 15 minute walk to any of the beautiful sites of Florence, and looking out our window we looked straight onto Piazza Vecchio - and the beautiful square. Coffe, shopping and history our door!

Mixed Feelings...

This is a very difficult review for me to write. There are many positives here, but also – for us – a very big negative, so that we would not return here. Two couples stayed here a week this October. The photos and description on the website are entirely accurate. The really big problem for our group was the noise on the street at night. One of us slept like a baby regardless, but three of us are light sleepers, and what with party goers shouting and singing at midnight, 1am, 2am, 3am, 4am and then the market stalls getting dragged through the street at 5am and 6am - we were completely exhausted at the end of a week's stay and looking forward to some peace and quiet at the airport hotel in Milan. During my stay I discussed various issues with Gianni, and he was cooperative in assessing the situation. There is triple glazing in the windows, but the noise affected us regardless. Obviously, there is little Gianni can do about revellers on the street. Apart from this one big problem - there are definitely some positives also. Location is superb, can't beat it (hence the noise!!). The apartment is large enough, could easily accommodate a group of 8. Furnishings, appliances, equipment are adequate. Easy to deal with Gianni and Neil prior to arrival, and Neil was there to show us around at the appointed time. So all good on that front. There were a few minor maintenance issues that I raised with Gianni, and he was very responsive, arranged to sort them out quickly. So if you want to be right in the thick of it, and you're a heavy sleeper - or you plan to stay out until 4 in the morning yourself - this might be a good place to stay. While I don't want to be too negative, for us this was just the wrong place.

Magnificent place and location!

This four bedroom property was absolutely terrific! Perfect location while visiting Florence. Literally steps away from wonderful restaurants, gelato, breakfast places, and so many historical sites! The beds were all extremely comfortable and you were even able to look out the window and see the statue of David! The owner was extremely responsive to all questions and had someone meet us at the property to show us around. This is the place we will stay anytime we visit Florence! Thank you for sharing your wonderful place with us!

Very spacious apartment in an absolutely perfect location

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment. The place very clean and large enough for our family of 8. Check in and communication with the host was amazing. The location is prefect to visit mostly all the main sites in Florence on foot. The view out or window of the piazza was amazing and really added to our stay. I would 100% recommend this apartment

We absolutely loved staying in this apartment. We were steps away from all of the best shopping, museums, and restaurants. This is a prime location for you to stay. Host was great, very responsive and the home was spacious and clean. We would definitely stay again. Florence was wonderful and again we were right in the mis of it all. We could not have booked a better place to stay. So worth it!

best location for Piazza della Signoria

we enjoyed being so close to The Uffizi. Very convenient for us was the washing machine. You leave damp clothes on the radiators and they dry in 1 day. we could hear people singing in the streets, but faintly. The elevator was typical of European elevators: tiny, cumbersome to use but so useful.We enjoyed dining at Rivoire and also right across from the Pitti Palace. Florence is my favorite city with Venice!

Wonderful Stay

This apartment was in an absolutely perfect and beautiful location. We were a family of 5 (4 adults and 1 child) traveling and found everything about the apartment to be wonderful. Amazing location, very clean, felt very safe. Communication with Giovanni and his assistant was always prompt and very helpful. We greatly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it, we look forward to returning one day in the future.

Great location near Uffizzi Gallery

Large apartment steps from the Uffizzi Gallery. Great location, close to shopping and restaurants as well as major sites- The Duomo, Ponte Vecchio Bridge and museums. Only negative was the elevator didn’t work on last day and we had to carry our luggage down 4 flights of stairs.

Location location location

Property boasts an excellent location. It was in the heart of Florence and made it easy for our group to come and go together or separately. Owner was very responsive to our requests. On the down side.. the apartment could use a refresh. Baseboards and flooring were dirty, walls quite dinged up. I understand we are in the heart of a big city.. it gets dirty easy.. but some baseboards were black. Kitchen was nicely updated but knives/utensils/cookware were showing there age. Showering with our large group (8) took some management for hot water. All in all it is a nice property with an elevator in the heart of everything that we all enjoyed . If it had been cleaner and better equipped it could and would have been outstanding.

Outstanding Experience - Highly Recommend!

We had an amazing experience at this property, and would highly recommend! 10 out of 10. The location could not be better - steps from Piazza della Signoria, close to Duomo, close to the Arno (Ponte Vecchio), close to the Uffizi... you're a quick walk to many major sights in Florence. Being on the 3rd floor, you're away from most of the street noise. The property is large and comfortable. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, plus a large living room (with dining table). The apartment was clean, with plenty of natural light. Beds were comfortable, and AC was strong (although some of the units were a bit loud). Our hosts were excellent! Giovanni, Kusum, and Roy were all very responsive and very helpful. Check-in, and check-out was all very smooth and easy. We had a great time here, would highly recommend!

Idyllic Location!

We had a lovely stay here right in the heart of Florence, just steps away from Uffizi. The apartment is huge with 4 bedrooms, living area, and kitchen with a long main hallway. There is an elevator, which is tiny, but doable. Communication was excellent. Check in and out was a breeze. Fifteen minute walk from the train station. Would happily stay here again.

Walking distance to everything

The apartment was exactly as described. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. We loved the convenience of being able to quickly walk anywhere we needed to go. Giovanni was great about communicating everything prior to our arrival. For anyone with physical limitations, this apartment is on the fifth floor, which could be challenging. It's also right off a large plaza, which was convenient, but could also be noisy late at night. Overall, I would definitely recommend!

Wonderful location in heart of attractions

Location, location, location. You can look out your window and see the statue of David within Piazza della Signoria. Minutes walk to all major locations. Apartment has 4 bed rooms, very spacious. Only issue was that we were surprised to find we could not control the a/c at all, it is controlled by owner, which was difficult for me as I can not sleep when it is warm. Fortunately, most of the nights cooled down to make it comfortable enough to sleep. Bathrooms a little on the older side, but overall a great stay. I would certainly return.

Excellent location and great communication

Eight adults (4 couples) all family stayed here for three days. Everything we wanted to see was in easy walking distance and there were plenty of restaurants nearby. The house was perfect just wish there was one more bathroom. The owner, Giovanni, was gracious when we had to change dates and was helpful with providing information and even ordered taxis for us for our trip to the airport The apartment had all that we needed. Highly recommend if you are wanting to stay in Florence in a convenient location.

Centrally Centrally located!

I traveled with 5 other women. We were delighted! The apartment has old world charm. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. What was so wonderful is the location. Whenever we headed out, whether for an official tour or our own walking, everything seemed to end within a few blocks of our apartment. There are incredible places to have dinner, get wonderful sandwiches for lunch and coffee and pastries all within a few blocks. An ATM was just across the plaza. We opened our windows one evening and a couple on the street were singing opera! 2 of the women in our group are planning on bringing their husbands in the next year or two and staying in this apartment! And it is safe to drink the water! I recommend it highly.!!! And it has a washing machine!

About the host

Hosted by Giovanni Fabbri

I am a high school teacher, I have three children one is graduate in Law, others still universities student. I am married to Chiara, also she is teacher

Why they chose this property

I bought this house in 2007 to go and live there when I'll stop working in a few years in the meantime I rent it. I am very happy to do it because I have the opportunity to contact people from all over the world. And I like to think that they also prove the same emotion that I felt when I looked out from the windows seeing "Della SignnorIa square"

What makes this property unique

Here you live Florence in his heart. You are 50 meters from the 'Uffizi gallery' museum, 100 from the cathedral and a few minutes walk from the major monuments and museums. The area is one of the oldest and most famous jewelry shops. There are still goldsmiths, one right next door to the apartment
