Family Stay in the Heart of Florence

This apartment was the perfect compliment to our family trip to Florence. From the amazing location in the Pizza Della Signora, entering the huge wooden door gave us the feeling of being transported back to the Renaissance. The place is well stocked and furnished and was surprisingly comfortable given the antiques. Given the location it can sometimes be a little noisy at night as tourists stumble home after too much wine but we found if we turned on the fan the white noise and our long days of touring made it easy to sleep through. Small hiccup at check in as we were on the wrong floor (European elevators start at 0) but we called the host and it was quickly resolved. I would highly recommend this place for small families staying in Florence, we had an amazing time.

Perfect Location… and true time machine!

We were in Florence in October and had perfect weather, so really were out and about the entire time. This property is historic and we found it special to stay in a place that is so authentic. The location is incredible and just footsteps from historic spots in the city center.

Florence trip

Apt was good, great location, walking distance to many sites. The only issue we had was spotty WiFi upon arrival & we were unable to open apt door. Check in instructions indicated that if we were unable to open the door, we could call the phone numbers listed & they would open the door remotely. But no one would answer @ any of the 3 numbers we called. We kept trying until were we able to get WiFi signal & access apt. A representative did text message us a couple hrs later to see if things were going ok.

Fabulous stay in Florence

Perfect location to enjoy Florence. Step into the history and all that Florence has to offer the moment you step outside the beautiful wooden doors. Convenient to all of the must sees. Enjoyed stopping in the apartment throughout the day and the ease of being near cafes, restaurants and shopping! Fabulous!!

Perfect location

We really enjoyed our stay. The location is amazing and allows for easy access to all the major sites. We felt safe and secure, and even though it was in the middle of a busy area it was quiet at night. The unit is well equipped with lots of space. The air conditioning works great which was very nice during July!
