What a perfectly located apartment in Florence. We have been many times to Florence, staying in hotels and apartments but this tops them all! The large shower and bathroom was awesome and the A/C was phenomenal and an unexpected delight!Everything anyone would need is right here. A few nights we had wine and fresh pasta, from the nearby local grocery, and enjoyed dinner in our "home away from home".Our flight was delayed by hours and we stayed in touch with Lucia, who was waiting at the apartment when we finally arrived.Lucia and Walter were always available whenever we had a question or needed assistance. They were very very easy to communicate with before and during our 6 day stay. What a great place for enjoying Florence!Thank you Lucia!!

Excellent location, sweet apartment

Stayed 3 nights during a very hot spell. It was our first time in Florence and the apartment is within walking distance for everything we had time for in that period (Duomo Plaza, Pitti Palace & Boboli Garden, Academia, Michelangelo Plaza at night, lunches and dinner all around town, and even a 9-mile hike up into the hills. The apartment was a welcoming respite from the extreme heat and allowed us to recharge before evening activities. We had everything we needed at the apartment and Lucia checked in to make sure we were all set. Definitely recommend for a single or couple.

Great location close to the train. We loved being able to open the windows during the day to let the light and fresh air in. It was nice to close the shutters at night too. Lots of great coffee bars and restaurants within a block or two. We also enjoyed the big shower. Lucia was a great host and we appreciate the good communication!

Great Location

Location, location, location! This was a perfect flat for our 4 night stay. Plenty of space and well appointed. We were grateful to have a washer and dryer (and not in a combined unit). Our only concern was that the entrance was in an alley and not on a main street. The host was gracious, helpful, and communicated thoroughly - a really lovely person!

Recent stay in Florence, Italy at Lucia's apartment

The apartment is very nice. Bathroom is excellent with bidet and plenty of hot water. Everything was very clean. It is close to the Santa Maria Novella train station and we walked with our luggage. Timed it just right and Lucia was there to let us in. John and I spent 2 days trying to see alot and enjoyed Florence. There is some street noise but most subsided before really late..Lucia is very nice and helpful. Thanks so much Jeanne S. 05/12/25

Perfect stay in Florence

We absolutely loved our stay at Lucia's apartment. Communication leading up to our visit was excellent as was getting easy directions to the property from the train station and meeting up at the apartment to go over all of the details of our stay. We were blown away at the cleanliness and also the attention to all of the little details that made our stay so comfortable. Everything a traveler might need was provided with the perfect little touch. The location was great for a first time Florence visitor. We needed to see all of the sights and we were within walking distance to everything, yet the apartment was so quiet and peaceful. If you're looking for a great vacation retreat, you've found it and you won't be disappointed!

Florence

This apartment is fantastically located for your Florence visit. Took about 15-20 minutes to walk from the train station. Lucia met us with the keys and after some conversation offered to make us reservations for Steak Florentine which was awesome. Duomo, Mercato Centrale (great spots for lunch on the first level) Uffizi, Academie, and Santa Maria Novella…which was my favorite..all within a 15 minute walk. Great space, great host. Definitely recommend.
