We stayed in this beautiful apartment for over a week while visiting our daughter abroad. We enjoyed our views of the Duomo and took full advantage of the beautiful outdoor terrace. We loved having space to move and a place to come back to with our daughter and other 3 children after dinner to sit, hang and continue to catch up. Marco is the most gracious host. Communication was fabulous, he checked in often and had great recommendations as well. This place and location right in the heart of this spectacular city will not disappoint.

We are 3 sisters in our 70s who had a five day stay at this wonderful apartment in Florence. We were so impressed with Marco and his prompt communication and warm welcome.The apartment was perfect for our needs and was very accurately described in the VRBO listing. But, the most outstanding feature of all was the location. When the listing says that the apartment is a 2 minute walk from the Duomo that is literally true. We would love to have the opportunity to stay there again.

We could not be happier with this apartment. We were greeted by Marco and he welcomed us with wine, chocolates and savory crackers. Marco is very quick to reply to messages. He is an incredible host. His property has been updated but it still maintains the charm of old Italy. You truly feel like you are at your nonnas home. We were able to enjoy caffe each morning thanks to his moka pots and coffee that Marco provided. The terrace is an added bonus. Beautiful views from all windows and the terrace. The lift made it so nice for our elderly aunt and uncle. We loved having 3 bathrooms!The location is perfection. Close proximity for the walking the town but also easy to use the taxi app for further destinations. If you’re looking for great location, old world charm with modern amenities like a lift, more than one bathroom and air conditioning, this place is for you! We hope to return soon!

The property manager, Marco, was extremely helpful and answered all of our questions quickly and efficiently. He gave us additional help that many property managers do not give. We would definitely stay there again due to the location and easy communication with Marco.

We stayed at Marco's place in July. An very well stocked apartment steps from the Duomo. Plenty of space for the four of us and the excellent air conditioning was appreciated as it was extremely warm out. Finally, Marco is a very attentive host who takes care to ensure his guests enjoy their stay. We highly recommend Marco's apartment if you're looking for a place to stay in Florence.

My family and I loved staying here. It’s right in the heart of Florence with views of the Duomo. 3 bathrooms were a big plus and the second bedroom was adorable! Also there was an elevator which was nice since the apartment is on the top floor. The host greeted us and answered our messages in a timely manner. The only thing that I would say needs improvement is that the primary bed is not very soft. But overall wonderful experience and we would definitely stay there again!

Bright, comfortable and clean apartment, wonderful terrace and excellent location & host.

My two girlfriends and I had a wonderful 2 weeks staying in this lovely, classic apartment just a block off the Duomo. Marco, our host, was extremely communicative throughout the whole process and very helpful during our stay. I only have great things to say about the whole experience. The apartment is very comfortable and clean and well stocked with plenty of towels and other household items and it was really great having the third bathroom. There is a washing machine and a number of drying racks that you can set up on the terrace. There’s also an iron and ironing board and two hairdryers.We spent a lot of time on the wonderful, private terrace…. It was so great to have that space to unwind and relax on and listen to all the bells and just soak in the atmosphere.The apartment itself is well represented in the photos,I felt the main living space was actually LARGER than I expected! There are lots of windows, so it’s nice and airy, and you can open the windows for lovely breezes. The beds are firm, but very comfortable, The green bathroom in the first bedroom is fairly compact, but everything works well there is good water pressure.The apartment is surrounded by a plethoraof fabulous restaurants, shops, grocery stores, etc.If you want a charming, comfortable and classic penthouse apartment, with a lift and a private terrace in the absolute center of the historic district, with a fantastic host, look no further! We look forward to returning! Thank you Marco!

Amazing Month-long Stay!

The location of this villa could not be better! Right next to the Duomo with some views of the cupola and Giotto tower. Three retired gals from Florida spent a month here, touring Italy and of course, diving into Firenze. We trained to Pompeii/Sorrento/Amalfi/Capri, Siena, Venice, Cinque Terre and San Gimignano. Hiked in Cinque Terre and up to the Piazzale Michelangelo. We enjoyed wonderful meals and celebrations (at Trattoria Za-Za, Gilli's, Caffe Concerto Paszkowski, Mercato Centrale, and restaurants right on the same street as our villa), museums, wine tours, a cooking class with Walk-About Tours, opera and Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Marco was the best and most attentive host ever. Super responsive and truly a kind person. The villa has an old-Florence feel and met our needs...we especially loved the outdoor rooftop terrace. I lived in Florence for a year in 2015/16 and come back every few years. Would definitely stay here again when we have 3-4 folks to share this larger space. Kudos to Marco and everything Florence!

A beautiful place in a perfect location.

A great property in an old style apartment in the heart of Florence. Marco was an awesome host! His communication and planning was great. We forget something at the apartment and he contacted us and met up with us to return. The views were awesome from the apartment windows, skylight, and walk out patio. The walkout patio really made the place which seems to be pretty rare as many of the other listings that I reviewed did not have a balcony or patio. The apartment was extremely clean and had all of the amenities. Marco even left us wine and treats to enjoy during our stay. When I return to Florence, I will definitely rebook this apartment. A great family experience. Thanks again Marco for making this a memorable trip for me and my family. Ciao!

Best location and great experience

Location location location. Wow. Just a couple blocks away from the city duomo with all the benefits of being within walking distance of nearly everything. Just 10-15 minutes from train station. A few easy steps up and a lift gets you and your luggage all the way up. Nice patio and multiple windows with great views. 2 1/2 bathrooms let Spouse and I have our own sink. Washing machine and with multiple heaters let us stay here a week. Great experience. Only drawback was the mattress wasn’t the best we’ve had which meant some tossing and turning during sleep.

For our adventure, it was perfect

We thought the space was much bigger than the pictures showed. It's sort of an eclectic space with the second bedroom down a short couple steps with a low doorway. That was no big deal to us... and the views from every window were of an iconic piece of history... the duomo right out the bedroom wind the Palazzo Vecchio off the back deck. It wasn't noisy considering how close it was to main tourist attractions. It's centrally located we walked from the train station... Over all it was a great place to experience Florence for us. Lastly, the A/C worked great and kept us quite comfortable. We'll try to stay here again for sure.
