Excellent location, beautiful apartment, everything you need! My teenage daughter and I stayed here for two weeks and will definitely be back. Apartment is walking distance to everything Florence has to offer but far enough from the crowds that you really get to relax. Owners are very responsive and made sure we were well taken care of. Would give 6 stars if allowed!!

Home away from home
First, Stefano is a great host! Met us at the property to let us in and gave us a tour of the space. Explained how everything works and where everything was located. He then stayed and went over a map of Florence with us. Pointed out where all the museums and places to see were in relation to our location. Gave great recommendations. Has a map and list of restaurants, cafes, gelato places that he recommends.Fantastic space. The three actual bedrooms were perfect for our group. Was very spacious. Kitchen had everything we needed for coffee in the morning, and we did make a few meals. Ice tray in the freezer was clutch. Quite a few stairs up to the space, but not too bad. The location of the property was great. Very walkable from train station, even with large suitcases. Location is on left bank, which is quieter than where all tourist attractions are located, but still plenty of cafes, restaurants, grocery stores, etc.Would definitely recommend and would stay again when we come back to Florence!

An excellent place to stay south of the river .The owner was very friendly ( despite our rather late arrival) and gave us good local tips. There are stairs to climb, which might be a problem for some but we had a delightful stay.

Conference and leisure stay with family
Great spacious place to stay with your family, very quiet. Easy to reach anything in and around the city center including the Fortezza conference centre. Good WiFi for video conferences. Thanks!
The perfect accommodation for our trip to Florence. Super clean and spacious. We were travelling with a 6 month old baby and Stefano made sure we had everything we needed. Baby cot, high chair etc.
When we arrived Stefano and his wife welcomed us and gave us many great recommendations for supermarkets, restaurants and sight seeing.
When we return to Florence we would definitely stay here again. The location is perfect for exploring the city and away from the busy tourist areas.

Sweet Home was a truly sweet home
An absolutely wonderful vacation stay with exceptional hosts. The location is great, a short walk from everything and lively but without the hordes on the other side of the Duomo. The unit has all the charm you would expect and is bigger than the pictures make it seem. For those who want to cook, the kitchen is nicely stocked. All the rooms have A/C and there is even a washing machine, which was very convenient. Finally, Stefano and his wife were truly helpful and gracious hosts. I wish I could give this property six stars.

Amazing Stay in Florence
Stefano and Antonella were great and gracious hosts. We wanted to experience the Italian people along with the Italian culture and their zest for life. This location helped make this happen as we felt as those we were actually living in Florence in this Altrano neighborhood. Everything is close by. Again...amazing plus the air conditioning was a big plus. Thank you, Eric and Marcia.

Holiday in Florence
The host was very welcoming when we arrived very late and gave us information about where to visit, annotating a map for our reference. As detailed, the flat was on the third floor up many steps and had views of the rooftops and the local church. It was excellently positioned, being walking distance from all the major sites along interesting roads and with excellent restaurants nearby. The Carrefour express supermarket was very nearby and the lady in charge of the bread made sure we had bread fresh from the ovens. I have marked down on the amenities because of the following - under popular amenities a hot tub was listed but there isn't one. The fla had the equipment detailed and was very clean.
The listing states that there are two bathrooms - one is a wetroom, protecting the toilet and bidet by a curtain and one is listed as ensuite but this is open plan via a flight of stairs in the bedroom. The bath in the bedroom was also rather difficult to get into.
We had a wonderful holiday and managed to laugh about wet feet in the wetroom and needing climbing skills to get into the bath.

A real prize in authentic old Florence
Host Stefano is outstanding. He was very helpful in communications before we arrived, met us at the apartment and showed us how everything worked, and gave us excellent suggestions about the neighborhood and sight-seeing in Florence. Then my husband and I came down with Covid while we were staying here. Stefano offered to get whatever we needed; he bought us groceries we requested and delivered them right to our door. He was so helpful and kind! The apartment itself is just as described: large, comfortable, and well-equipped. Besides the full kitchen and two bathrooms, it has a clothes washer. We wondered if drying would be a challenge, but no problem - Stefano provided a folding clothes rack that extended to hold a full load of clothes, plus clotheslines outside. The neighborhood has restaurants, groceries, and pharmacies nearby, and is not far from the sights. And we loved the views over the historic Florence rooftops from the windows on all sides of the apartment.

A Comfortable Stay with Helpful Hosts in Charming Florence
During our recent family trip to Florence, Italy, we had the pleasure of staying at a lovely residence situated in a delightful neighborhood just across the river from the city center. Our experience at this VRBO rental was truly remarkable, thanks to the outstanding hospitality and assistance provided by our hosts.
From the moment we arrived, the host's warm welcome and helpful demeanor stood out. Check-in was seamless, and they ensured we settled in comfortably. Their prompt and informative communication regarding the city's attractions and local points of interest greatly enhanced our stay. It was evident that they possessed an in-depth knowledge of Florence, and their willingness to share insights and recommendations added an extra layer of enjoyment to our trip.
One aspect that truly impressed us was the hosts' genuine dedication to making our stay as pleasant as possible. Whether it was providing directions, suggesting off-the-beaten-path locations to explore, or assisting with any queries we had, their attentiveness made us feel well taken care of throughout our stay.
The rental's location on an upper floor is worth noting, as there is no elevator. Although this was not an issue for our group on this occasion, it could be something to consider for those traveling with elderly family members or individuals with mobility constraints. However, once inside the rental, the experience was absolutely delightful.
The accommodation itself exceeded our expectations.

Perfect all around!
This property and our hosts were wonderful. The location and availability and flexibility of our hosts contributed greatly to our experience in Florence. I can’t recommended this more and would come back!
We had an amazing experience here! I can't say enough wonderful things about this home. There was enough space that our family with two teenagers were thrilled with their own rooms. Air condition!!! It was hot and this was amazing. Washing machine allowed us to reset during our 2 wk stay in Italy. The restaurant and gelato recommendations were perfect; a grocery store right around the corner was nice. Great neighborhood, easy walk to and from the train station and all other tourist spots. My wife went running all around the area. The hosts were great and were easy to talk with. We'd love to go back here again!
The most amazing stay ever. The host was so so lovely and gave us heaps of recommendations and easily contactable. The apartment was absolutely stunning and in perfect condition. We had everything the 6 of us needed plus more. Will definitely be revisiting if I ever get the chance to again.

Great place to stay during high season
On the left side of the Arno, close enough to all that you want to see, but less crowded.
The property is very well placed, at walking distance to central Florence tourist destinations. Several trattorias and pizzerias are available within 5 min walk, as well as three (mini) supermarkets. The property is very spacious and what you see in the pictures provided is what you get. Stefano is an excellent host, really accommodating and have provided us with all details about arriving by car, parking (he provided us parking vouchers), attractions, trattorias, instructions to use the house equipment and all the useful details that matter. The only minus related with this property is that it is at 4th floor and there is no elevator - you have to be able to climb the stairs...Otherwise an excellent value, and a big thank you to Stefano! Will recommend it to all my friends!
