Florence trip

Apt was good, great location, walking distance to many sites. The only issue we had was spotty WiFi upon arrival & we were unable to open apt door. Check in instructions indicated that if we were unable to open the door, we could call the phone numbers listed & they would open the door remotely. But no one would answer @ any of the 3 numbers we called. We kept trying until were we able to get WiFi signal & access apt. A representative did text message us a couple hrs later to see if things were going ok.

Family Stay in the Heart of Florence

This apartment was the perfect compliment to our family trip to Florence. From the amazing location in the Pizza Della Signora, entering the huge wooden door gave us the feeling of being transported back to the Renaissance. The place is well stocked and furnished and was surprisingly comfortable given the antiques. Given the location it can sometimes be a little noisy at night as tourists stumble home after too much wine but we found if we turned on the fan the white noise and our long days of touring made it easy to sleep through. Small hiccup at check in as we were on the wrong floor (European elevators start at 0) but we called the host and it was quickly resolved. I would highly recommend this place for small families staying in Florence, we had an amazing time.

Piazza Della Signoria

We enjoyed the apartment and location. All four of us had challenges with mosquitoes. We did not open the windows because there were no screens. I would charge more and install screens. The noise at night from the square was disturbing- more than we anticipated. Otherwise it was positive

Perfect apartment for two couples exploring Florence for the first time. Good sized bedrooms and a decent sitting room and kitchenette. And in the most perfect location ever! Just one recommendation: please add a colour key for the recycling bins. We had no idea what was meant to go in which bin.

Delightful and magic

Our stay in Florence was one of the best travel experiences I have had. The flat is in an authentic, well-maintained palazzo whose massive wooden door opens directly on the Piazza Della Signoria. Despite being located on a popular tourist piazza, the flat was quiet. The bedroom windows looked out into a lively side street, but still - the rooms were quiet at night. We had two generous bedrooms, as my husband snores and is a restless sleeper. Everything worth seeing - including shopping, dining and museums and sites - was within an easy 5 to 10 minute walk from the dwelling. We were a12 minute walk from the train station and the Fortezza da Basso, where we were attending a medical conference. Grocery stores were within 5 minutes walk. The flat has all the modern conveniences and everything is in good working order. There are 2 TV screens for viewing on a quiet evening. The flat decor was the most charming - rustic -style with floor tiles, dark wood furniture, large wooden ceiling beams and dark -iron beds with crisp white linens. The kitchen was well-equipped. The hosts were quick to respond to any and all questions. I highly recommend this lovely accommodation.

Perfect

The apartment was exactly as advertised. Air conditioning worked very well, which was much appreciated given the mid 90’s temperatures. We arrived early and we were allowed in. The apartment was rustic and very comfortable. The location was PERFECT! It was within easy walking distance to virtually everywhere we wanted to go, including the train station. Thank you to Pietro and Gaia! If I return to Florence I will seek to stay here again before looking anywhere else. I highly recommend this place.

In the Heart of Venice

Property is right on the Palazzo Vecchio and all the major tourist attractions are very easy to access from the apartment. A lot of old world character the apartment. The beds were comfortable and the A/C worked well and was a much needed break from the Florence heat in July. Directions for check-in were easy to follow and required no personal interaction. It would have been nice to get a slightly earlier check-in, but the door access app appears to be hard coded to only work after check-in time.

Absolute premium location and beautiful apartment but NO A/C!!!

This place could not be in a better spot. We loved everything about it except the lack of air conditioning. It was highs of 80 degrees or so when we were there and the nights were still uncomfortable for sleep. If it were any warmer, we'd have had to go to a hotel. All 3 A/C units in the place were unable to put out any cold air AT ALL. Very disappointing when you pay a price like this and the listing includes A/C as an amenity. Otherwise, the place was great.

Misleading

While the property is in a great location, more than half of the amenities and utilities were not working. One of the toilets was out of order and the air conditioning did not work at all. With sweltering temperatures, it is unacceptable to not provide air conditioning. In addition, the wifi was not working leaving us unable to contact the host about the issues. Would not recommend staying here.
