• Susanne from United Kingdom (8/10)

  The apartment was traditional, very attractive and large and was tiled with lovely terracotta. The roof terrace had beautiful views of the city and was spacious. It was quiet at night even though Piazza Santa Croce was just a few steps away. There were quite a lot of stairs to climb to it but manageable if you a reasonably mobile.

• Daria from Ukraine (9/10)

  This place is a hidden gem. It is located in the very city center close to all the sights and great restaurants. But this is not the most important. It looks so amazing inside that you feel like Machiavelli hosts you. The family of Diana, the host, has been living in this building for over 500 years. You can see authentic Italian furniture and so many antique items. The apartment is big and spacious. It has two bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, and even a terrace. And the nicest surprise was the cats! Diana has three of them and they visited us sometimes. I really felt like I was in a museum. Amazing place. Will come again for sure.

• Natalia from Italy (9/10)

  An amazing quirky apartment situated on several layers. You have to take stairs to get to your room, another flight of stairs to get to the kitchen, and a third one to the terrace. The place is charming, full of interesting stuff – a mixture of family heirlooms and flea-market findings.

• Loreta from Lithuania (8/10)

  Paslaugiai sutiko ir perdavė raktus. Daugiau šeimininkų nematėme. Labai įdomūs apartamentai. Senovinis pastatas, daug vietos, aukštos lubos, senoviniai baldai. Buvo virtuvė, skalbyklė, arbata, kava….balta, gera patalynė. Sėkminga dislokacijos vieta, netoli centro, svarbių turizmo traukos vietų. Visur galima patekti pėsčiomis.

• Brigitte from Austria (9/10)

  Die Lage war geografisch sehr gut, 2. Stock ohne Lift, Dachterrasse!, große Zimmer, sehr kleines Bad

• Thiago from Brazil (9/10)

  Um dos melhores apartamentos que já me hospedei. Tudo original, moderno e conveniente ao mesmo tempo além da localização excepcional. O terraço é um caso a parte. De lá se vê a cúpula das diversas igrejas de Florença. Tudo é muito além da expectativa além da receptividade da Diana na chegada. Recomendo sempre!
