Hotel Description
You know what caught me off guard about Leopoldini Appartamenti? The moment I walked up Via Pompeo Neri, I realized I’d stumbled into one of those Florence neighborhoods that actually feels like people live there. Not the tourist-packed centro storico where you’re dodging selfie sticks every five steps, but the real Florence – where locals grab their morning cappuccino and kids play in the small piazzas. The Careggi-Rifredi area gets overlooked by most visitors, honestly, but that’s exactly why it works so well for this place.
The apartments themselves have this lived-in elegance that’s hard to fake. I mean, you can tell they put thought into the details without going overboard – the kind of place where the kitchen actually has sharp knives and the shower pressure doesn’t make you want to cry. What really sold me was how quiet it gets at night, even though you’re still properly connected to the city center. The tram line 1 is basically around the corner, which I didn’t fully appreciate until I realized I could be at the Duomo in maybe 15 minutes without dealing with parking (trust me, don’t even think about driving in Florence’s center). There’s also this little alimentari two blocks down where the owner, this older guy with paint-stained fingers, somehow remembers everyone’s usual order after just a couple visits.
The whole setup makes sense for people who want to experience Florence without feeling like they’re staying in a theme park version of it. Sure, you’re not going to roll out of bed and bump into the Ponte Vecchio, but you’ll actually hear church bells instead of tour guides with megaphones. And honestly? The walk to the main sights isn’t bad at all – it’s that perfect distance where you feel like you’re discovering the city’s layers instead of just checking boxes. The rating of 8.3 feels about right; it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in town, but it nails what it’s going for. I’d definitely stay here again, especially during the summer when the centro gets absolutely mobbed and you really appreciate having a calm base to retreat to.

Reviews
Good clean and quiet apartment close to the centre and a short walk to the tram – good for a short visit. – Keith from United Kingdom – 8 June 2025 (7/10)
Close to the tram network. Good size rooms ( we had 5 adults and a child staying ) quiet apartment block. Quick to respond to questions!
What could be improved: Quite a lot of steps down to the apartment – because we were using as a 3 bedroom the living room was one of the bedrooms, meaning no communal space to sit and relax apart from the kitchen. Ok for the 1 night we stayed but if you were staying longer it would put me off.Comfortable, enjoyable experience in Florence! – Kate from United Kingdom – 7 June 2025 (8/10)
Comfortable, homely feel, friendly staff to check in with us that everything was okay! Located close to a tram stop too, very convenient into town. Also very close to a supermarket!
What could be improved: Noisy road outside for sleeping and also the downstairs of the duplex smelt damp.Recommended – Umutcan from Turkey – 2 June 2025 (9/10)
Clean, a lot of space, high ceilings, nice garden view from balcony
Superb – Mahesh from Kuwait – 4 May 2025 (9/10)
Very good maintained apartment . The Kitchen and balcony is spectacular. We stayed in CASA LA VESPA. Entire house is with VESPA theme. COOP and PIZZA are very near. Very convenient to TRAM Station. It is out side from the city but cool and calm. We loved it.
What could be improved: It’s in 1st floor without elevator. I had to lift 4 big trollies . It’s the only problem.Superb – Shilpa from India – 22 October 2024 (9/10)
We loved the apartment, it was right by the tram station and easy to access. We had the whole apartment to ourselves which was great. The view from the balcony was beautiful and we absolutely loved staying here.
What could be improved: The coffee machine was leaking 😐Ok stay – Juan from Colombia – 13 September 2024 (8/10)
Is close to the train station
What could be improved: The room is at the top and the stairs are very very narrow . Good for a day stay not for a long onewould definitely rent the same place if i’m ever back in florence – Rana from United Kingdom – 1 September 2024 (9/10)
loved the style of the apartment as it was very unique. particularly enjoyed the terrace overlooking the back garden
What could be improved: would be great if there was a washing machine in the property and if some toiletries were provided as no soap body wash etc was providedGreat stay in Florence. – Sami from Germany – 21 August 2024 (9/10)
The appartement is few minutes drive from the city center. Clean, fully air conditioned, well equipped but missing a washing machine (was not a problem for our 1 night stay).
A garden exists as well.
Easy to park in front of the building.
What could be improved: Nothing to highlight.Superb – Angela from New Zealand – 13 July 2024 (9/10)
The uniqueness of the apartment. The little details, like the world map showing New Zealand. It was clean & tidy. The beds & pillows were comfy. A lovely nights stay.
Overall, I like it. Good night rest. – Nancy from United States – 5 July 2024 (9/10)
Clean and comfy!
What could be improved: Nothing.
