A spacious and clean apartment near the main city centre. A short walk to a grocery store, restaurants, numerous museums, coffee bars, shopping etc. Check in and out was very easy and we had paid parking for our car. Our hosts were very helpful and attentive. We would definitely stay here again!!!

The apartment worked out well for us. It is clean and well equipped and quite convenient to the historic centre of Florence. The kitchen is well equipped and the washing machine was a big bonus.Patrizia was there to greet us and show us around. She also told us about buses to take to where we wanted to go and where we could get groceries.When it was time for us to leave, both Patrizia and Stefano were there to say goodbye and Stefano helped with our luggage.The only downside is that there isn’t an elevator and the apartment is on the 2nd floor in Europe (3rd floor in North America). Otherwise, it was ideal.

Family in Florence

Wonderful place for our family while in Florence. We were very comfortable with the space and all the accommodations. The location is great, a bit outside the main center of the city but easy to walk to all the sites. The neighborhood is great with many shops and restaurants. Also an amazing gelato place at the end of the block.

Quiet side of the Arno

This is a beautiful and comfortable property. Highly recommended. One of the best restaurants we went to during a three week Europe trip was does down from the property. The hosts were friendly and gracious. I really liked being on the other side of the Arno away from the noise at night but a short walk to get to everything by day

Cute home outside city centre

The home was very nice and clean. Patrizia and Stefano were very welcoming when we arrived and easy to communicate with before and after checkin. The area is nice and quiet compared to the busy city centre, which is about 20 minutes walk away. The beds were comfortable. There’s lots of good cafés and bars nearby, one we really enjoyed, and that is along the walk towards the city centre is Pitti Express. Overall a great stay!

Diladdarno Holiday Home

We were met by the owner when we arrived, who explained everything that we needed to know about the apartment and area, shops and restaurants. The apartment was beautifully remodeled with modern bathrooms and kitchen. Two large beds with plenty of closet space in both bedrooms.. Whenever we reached out, the owners were quick to respond and gave us lots of help. The apartment was just south of the main tourist area,( Porto Romana ), which was nice to get away from the crowds . 3 really nice restaurants within a block of the apartment with delicious food and service. 2 gelato and pastries shops also. We would highly recommend this apartment to anyone who would be staying in the Florence area.

February 2025 Trip from Boston to Florence

This home provided the perfect place for our group of four to stay while we spent a week exploring Florence. The apartment was comfortably furnished, clean and well-equipped. We walked easily into the city each day - about 30 mins and quite safe (you must cross a traffic circle, but there are crosswalks - and traffic always stopped for us). This home allowed us to spend time together in a cozy environment just outside of the busy city, without feeling as though we were too far from anything. There are restaurants, a bank, cafe bar, gelato, etc steps from the apartment as well. Our hosts were very accommodating and responsive. They helped make our experience pleasant and memorable.

It was so nice to arrive and see the friendly waves and smiling faces of Patrizia and Stefano welcoming us. What a perfect place to use as home base to share the beautiful city of Firenze with our daughter and her husband. It was just as delightful, clean, well equipped, comfortable and nicely decorated as we remembered from our first stay. So happy that the DiladdArno Holiday Home was available.

First time in Florence

This is a perfect location to stay to get into the old town and all the must see locations yet just far enough away to have a bit of quiet and not far from a beautiful walk into a residential park area. Great restaurants right on the same street. Easy access to public transportation. Comfortable beds! And the host met us at the apartment and showed us around. Almost unheard these days. And a good bottle of wine to go with our eat in pizza first night meal. 10/10 Miles pizza is great.

Wonderful hosts. Perfect accommodations for us.

The hosts , Patrizia and Stefano greeted us upon our arrival , explained ins and outs of apt., area etc and how to contact them if we needed anything. Provided suggestions on dining. The apt is in a good location within reasonable walking distance to most sites and city central.It was spacious , clean and beds very comfortable. Kitchen well supplied and even left a complimentary bottle of wine which is a nice touch for a visit to Florence.The shower is quite small so may be difficult for a larger person but we found this to be the case in other accommodations here as well. They also have heat pumps which I imagine would be key in the summer months.The city is beautiful and so much history and things to experience. The food is delicious .. we loved the thin crust pizza and there is a cafe or quaint restaurant on every corner.. we found those in the tourist business in particular to be very friendly and helpful and almost everyone spoke English quite well because sadly, our Italian was limited to a few words. We had a wonderful visit and would highly recommend Patrizia and Stafano’s place.
