An oasis amidst a facinating city
Review Submitted: September 8, 2009
Date of Stay: August 2009
I have stayed in Florence before but can honestly say our recent stay in this apartment was the best experience.
The apartment is beautifully furnished for every need and has a luxury feel that does not fail in making you feel relaxed and special. The location is perfect for walking to all areas of Florence yet is located away from some of the tourist hot spots so you see more of day to day life as well. Everything you need is on the doorstep from sights, great bakeries to fabulous restaurants.
The apartment had everything we needed including an owner who was a pleasure to speak to (from booking to leaving) Simona really cared about our stay being enjoyable, this for us was the icing on the cake ! We arrived late and Simona was patiently waiting she gave us a great run down on the apartment and area , she was at hand for any questions through out the stay. We particularly loved the personal touches from Simona, the beautiful scents in each room, the figs she gave us from her garden, the effort in making the apartment so beautiful, the place was spotless and the furnishings fabulous. We loved the terrace and spent a lot of the evenings enjoying wine by lamplight, listening to the neighbourhood sounds. In the early afternoons you can sit and enjoy the opera practise occurring from a neighbour in the street , which really was a wonderful atmospheric treat. The old church across from the apartment is a great addition as one can sit and view it from the terrace, its architecture is breathtaking. From the terrace you can view the Palazzo tower in the distance ,this apartment is in the shadow of Medici history and as such offers and abundance of riches !
The terrace had plenty of seating and the effort to ensure it had an abundance of plant life and lamps was great, it was a real bonus to the apartment. The kitchen was equipt with all you need to cook Italian style. The bedrooms were light and airy with wonderful fabrics. The lounge had a relaxing large sofa and whilst we did not use the television there is the opportunity if you wish. The table in the kitchen area is rustic and perfect for sociable dinners. finally the bathroom is new and designed well, the shower was fantastic. The air conditioning has been designed to run well throughout the apartment and on a hot summers days its much needed and appreciated.
I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment and we would return without a shadow of doubt, it is heaven in a heavenly place

This apartment was perfect for our month long vacation in Tuscany. We had everything that we needed - an ideal location, well equited kitchen, comfortable furnishings, a lovely terrace and a perfect hostess. Simona was so welcoming and helpful! Wtih 2 bedrooms we were able to have our adult children visit us and had plenty of room and they loved it too! Staying in central Florence made our travels so easy wheter by foot, train or bus. We even rented a car to visit the beautiful Tuscan towns. When we visit Florence again we will rent this apartment with no hesitation!! Grazie, Simona!!
Stunning Apartment

Centrally located, the apartment is in walking distance to all the major attractions of Florence. The apartment is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and everything you need is supplied. The owner, Simona, makes you feel welcome on arrival, and is so helpful and informative. I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment to anyone travelling to Florence.
Terrace.... Flowers..... Perfect !!

This apartment surpassed anything we had expected. It’s on a narrow back street that didn’t allow for a lot of traffic but take a few steps and peek around the corner and you will find great restaurants (Trattoria da Benvenuto), a grocery with cold cuts and all kinds of delights (gelatos in every flavor), main streets and various piazzas (Piazza Sta. Croce and Piazza della Signoria) offering cathedrals, free evening concerts, sculptures, local artists selling their paintings, and fountains.
The kitchen was small but perfectly designed with everything needed to cook everything from a light breakfast to a full family meal. The dinette comfortably fits a family of six around its antique table. There is a living room with polished wood floors, sofa and two very comfortable chairs that sit next to two large windows giving a perfectly relaxed setting for reading or just talking after a busy day of sightseeing. The flat screen TV with cable adds a modern amenity to a room with wonderful ancient wood beams across the ceiling.
The bedrooms were large and tastefully decorated with individual air conditioning in each room, beautiful armoires, side chairs, and night lamps. The bathroom is modern, meticulously clean and also very tastefully decorated. The highlight of this apartment is a wonderful private terrace just off the dining area that overlooks the street below. It has flowers and plants all around with a bench and seats - a great place to sip a glass of wine before bed.
Simona, the owner is a delight. She’s warm, friendly, and a true professional. She takes pride in making sure your stay is everything you dreamed of by including special touches throughout the apartment such as the great scents in each room, little sachets hanging from the armoire doors, etc. Simona knew that we were celebrating an anniversary and she had a beautiful flower arrangement waiting for us along with a fruit and cookies platter. This apartment looks good on the internet but is actually much much better than it looks. If anyone is looking for accommodations in Firenza, this is the apartment is the one to stay in !
Simona – Thank you for making our stay in your apartment one of the top highlights of our two week travel throughout Italy. See you next year!! P.S. Maybe for a month….

I stayed at this apartment with two friends for a recent stort break in Florence. Apartment was very well equiped with everything we needed. Very clean and all the linen was as good as new. Very central location but in a small traffic free side street so very quiet at night. I would highly recommend this apartment, thanks Simona.
Beautiful, peaceful, central...

The apartment was absolutely as described, immaculate and very attractively furnished and decorated. We were warmly welcomed by Simona who couldn't have been more helpful or friendly.
We were a family of four with a son and daughter of 16 and 20 and the apartment was perfect for our four night stay at the height of the summer. We felt, however, that this would be a superb apartment at any time of the year. The location in a very quiet street in the heart of Florence and the little terrace make this apartment very special.
Having stayed in a number of apartments in European cities, we would be happy to recommend this to anyone.

This was an EXCELLENT apartment in the heart of Florence which made all the major sights of Florence easily accessible by foot. Stone's throw away from Uffizzi, Santa Croce and Arno riverside. 10 minutes from the Duomo. Such near proximity to Santra Croce also made eating out easy and fun - the area has a ton of hidden gems by way of Florentine food, including some of the Michelin-rated ones. Also walking distance from Vivoli, Florence's best gelato spot.
The apartment is very tastefully done (pictures do not do justice) with every home-like amenity. The bathroom and kitchen were spotless and newly done, the house filled with beautiful antiques, TV w/ 100+ cable channels and air-conditioner in every room. The terrace was charming and added to the size of the apartment.
Big points for cleanliness, charm, convenience and cost. the landlady, Simona, was incredibly professional, courteous and looked out for the little details. Would recommend for families, young adults, couples and those looking for a home away from home. Not suitable for disabled travelers.
We were a party of 3 friends in our late 20s (believe me, we're picky having lived in London, New York and Singapore!) and the house was amazing for us. Will definitely go back!

To begin, we were warmly greeted by the beautiful Simona with a platter of fruit, cakes, coffee/teas etc. She left us with all the resources we needed in terms of maps, taxis, internet cafes, markets and more.
The apartment was a dream- a true beauty. The pictures are only a glimpse. The decor, aroma, and immaculate cleanliness made you feel right at home. We stayed in apartments all throughout Europe within 3 weeks. This by far was the BEST one.
This great apartment is in the PERFECT LOCATION- within walking distance to EVERYTHING!!! You are right at the center which is a must because the laws for driving in Florence is very restrictive and you walk everywhere.
Simona, we can't thank you enough for your hospitality.
You are absolutely wonderful. I hope to comeback.... I'm already dreaming of it :)
