Nova from Australia (10/10)
Absolutely incredible apartment with frescos by a renaissance master and a window into a C13th monastery. Beautifully decorated and very large. Bedrooms were lovely and comfortable. 10-15 minute walk to centre. Close to Santa Croce piazza and church.

Clean, well appointed, with classical features representative of Italy and Firenze.
Mike from United States (10/10)
The location is excellent. But the show stopper is the historic nature of the apartment. The frescos from Domenico Ghirlandaio are amazing and the picture window that looks into the original cathedral is astounding. The apartment is as spacious as the pictures make it look. Truly lovely.

This place is an attraction of itself. I’ll definitely come back to visit here again.

Karen from Australia (10/10)
The space, the fact it’s in an old convent was very special. It had everything we needed on hand. The staff once we arrived were very responsive for any queries we had. Especially Stefano who gave us some excellent restaurant choices and the two we went to were definitely a highlight.
