Reviews

• Derek from Belgium (10/10)

  Gorgeous apartment in old palazzo on the quiet side of the river with fabulous views of the historical centre.

• Kaitlyn from United States (10/10)

  If you get the split-level apartment, you are getting a once in a lifetime booking. The apartment is weird and has lots of stairs to different sections, it would not be great for small children or people with mobility issues. BUT if you are capable of some stairs, the place is the most amazing place you could stay in Florence. The outdoor area is so CRAZY BEAUTIFUL. You get your own incredible rooftop terrace with 360 degree views of Florence including the Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi, and views of many churches. It was so insanely incredible. It rained on us a bit and we still got wet to sit out on the terrace. Incredible. Don't hesitate, just do it! Note: only the split level apartment has access to the rooftop terrace so you have to book that one to get it!

  Triago was very helpful.

• Renee from United States (9/10)

  After seeing some of the photos online, I really wanted to stay in the first floor room with the cool ceilings and frescos. It was a very cool apartment with a few flaws. There was ample space in the bedroom and living room, but the kitchenette is MICRO tiny and there is no way you will be preparing any meals there. However, there is a microwave and fridge so you can reheat leftovers or keep some small items on hand like yogurt, fruit and cheese. The washing machine was located just outside our front door in a separate "closet" but it was not an inconvenience to use for a couple loads of laundry. The bed is a king sized bed and the AC units worked great and kept the room nice and cool at night. You enter the property from a very quiet alleyway on one side. There is a VERY busy street on the other side, but surprisingly, it was pretty quiet in the bedroom. We walked everywhere (taxis are incredibly hard to find in Florence), and we even walked to the train station on our way out of town – it was not that bad! As for views, we could mostly see the sidewalk and busy street from our room. We almost never opened the windows because it was so noisy, BUT we could see Ponte Vecchio and Ponte alle Grazie from the room. I would stay at the property again, but would probably pick a larger suite upstairs with a view!

• Charles from New Zealand (10/10)

  In a great location, a few minutes walk to the Ponte Vecchio bridge and a short distance to all attractions with a good supermarket extremely close. The apartment was very comfortable including the bed. I would stay here again.

• Judi from United States (9/10)

  Location was fabulous. Area was quiet, away from the crowds and nice. The building was old, beautiful and interesting. Safe and having someone on duty to ask questions was helpful. Loved having our own apartment, very comfortable and private too.
