Central and quiet flat

Review Submitted: December 22, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
A very conveniently located flat for a short stay in Florence, perfect to explore the city (all main attractions 5 to 10 min walk away), ideal to get back to for a short break at the hotest time of the day (air con is a must at that season!). It is in a quiet street, with all ammenities near by. Elisa, the keeper, very kindly recommended a few places that are packed with locals, off the beaten tracks, which adds nicely to the experience!

Fabulous Florence

Review Submitted: July 20, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
My cousin and I have just returned from 5 fabulous days in Florence. We loved the apartment's central location - just a few minutes walk from the station and all Florence's main attractions, Uffizi, Duomo and Ponte Vecchio. We felt we really got to know the city by being able to walk everywhere from the apartment. The apartment is very clean and furnished elegantly in keeping with its city location. We appreciated being able to come and go as we pleased and the apartment proved to be a very welcome haven, cool (thanks to the air conditioning) and comfortable, to relax and recharge before the next bout of sight seeing. We found it easy to prepare our meals at the apartment buying fresh produce daily from the central market and there is a very good deli opposite and of course the wonderful bakery just below. The owner's housekeeper Elisa was charming and went out of her way to be helpful during our stay. I would definitely recommend this property.

Full of character and in an amazing location!

Review Submitted: January 10, 2011 Date of Stay: November 2010
I stayed in this charming apartment with a couple of girl friends for a long weekend of shopping and culture. It is in a beautiful old building one street back from the river Arno and only minutes on foot from the train station, Ponte Vecchio, Uffizzi and all the shops and bars. It is in the perfect location with local shops, restaurants and cafes all on the door step but without the crowds found right in the centre. The apartment itself is lovely with many original features such as high ceilings, wooden beams and parquet flooring. I found it to be in good decorative order with lovely fresh linen and towels and cleaned to a high standard. The kitchen area is small but well appointed and big enough to cook and wash up in with everything that one might need. It really is a little piece of Florentine history in a great location for exploring one of the most beautiful and fun cities in the world!
