Location, location, location. Couldn't have asked for a more convenient, central location. Other than that, if you are looking for something nicer than old world rustic then this is not your place. No complaints about the cleanliness, management or their responsiveness just feel the professional photos make this place look a lot nicer than it really is. One note, probably just our ignorance since we ran into the same thing at another stay in France this trip but...there is a trick to using the gas cooktop which is you have to push down on the knobs when you turn them on or no gas flows. I hand wrote that on the info sheet in the apartment for future renters but it was new to us. My only other comment is that this was my second time in Firenze - though my first was a long time ago. It is now overrun with tourists like many other popular cities in Europe but I have to say I was amazed by the lines and the crowds in late September.

Cozy apartment right in the center of Florence.

My family, 2 adults and 2 teenagers had a wonderful time in the Florence Tower Apartment. The location was great for walking to all the sights, restaurants and train station. Stefania and Maria gave us nice recommendations on local sites and restaurants. The apartment was well furnished and clean. There is some late night street noise but we used ear plugs and were fine.

Comfortable apartment in the heart of Florence

Our family of five loved this apartment! Very comfortable and charming. Stefania was so easy to work with. The location couldn't have been better, pretty quiet and central to all the sights. Pros: Comfortable and clean; easy walk from train station; easy communication with owner and assistant. Cons: Steps are steep and might be hard for some people; grocery market was hard to find.

Charming Florence apartment!

Adorable and homey apartment a very short walking distance from many major points of interest. Clean space and friendly, helpful host with great tips on getting the best gelato. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. My only advice to other travelers is to pack lightly. The stairs, as they are in many places of Italy, are very steep. Otherwise a perfect spot to make you feel like you live there.

AMAZING LOCATION!

We stayed in Stefania’s perfectly situated apartment for 3 nights. Fiy accommodated a late check in for us - even ran to the corner store to get milk for our morning coffee. The apartment was very clean and the kitchen well stocked with everything we needed. There is also helpful information for local sights & restaurants. The beds were comfortable and the shower was great. The location of the apartment is perfect. Most sights within easy walking distance - Ponte Vecchio, Oltroarno, Uffizzi, The Duomo & Accademia all minutes away. The Piazza Repubblica is a great spot for a glass of wine, live music and people watching. From start to finish of the reservation process and arrival, Stefania was very quick to respond to our questions. She recommended private driver to pick us up from our evening flight from Madrid. I highly recommend this property.

Location, location, location! This apartment is in the heart of Florence ideal for exploring.

We arrived at the train station and walked to the apartment which took about 15 minutes. It was easy to find and we were met by Stefanio who talked us through how things worked in the apartment. The apartment itself was well equipped, clean and tidy. Both bedrooms had air conditioning which was much appreciated as it was very warm. However the living room/kitchen could have done with air conditioning! As you step out on to the street you are minutes from all the major sights such as the Duomo, etc. Also there are many shops and restaurants on your door step. With the excellent location does come street noise however this did not really bother us as we were tired after a day of sight seeing so slept well. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely apartment, great location

My family of four (children are 18 and 21) stayed in this apartment for two nights in early May. We were very pleased with the location as we were able to walk to all of the sights we wanted to see: the Uffizi Gallery, the Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo, the Palazzo Vecchio, Orsanmichele (which is across the street) and even (although it was bit of a hike), both train stations. The apartment was quite spacious (except for the bathroom which was pretty tiny) and nicely decorated. Maria met us at the apartment at the appointed time and helped us bring our bags up a very long narrow flight of stairs. If you have a large suitcase, be warned. She was also helpful in giving us directions and suggestions for places to eat. The whole experience was very easy and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone who is looking for a centrally located Florence apartment and who has no difficulty climbing stairs.

Just a wonderful City & apartment

We arrived in Florence a bit earlier and our host Stephania accommodated us by allowing us into the apartment a bit earlier then planned. the apartment is located on the second floor and stairs are very steep and not very comfortable when coming down, just make sure to use the hand rail and you will be fine. the apartment itself is very comfortable. the shower is very tight and I would recommend tot he host that the lighting be replaced as it is somewhat dark in this washroom. The sofa needs to be replaced as it is shot and not very comfortable. Other than that it is an ideal location to stay and very close to everything. The bridges, shopping district if you are into Gucci, Yve St-Laurent etc... All these high Couturier are close by. Many historical site are withing walking distance No need for taxis. Great location to stay and very well maintained...... i would recommend staying at this apartment.

Great location!

We really enjoyed our 5 night stay at the Florence Tower apartment. Stephania's friend Irene met us, helped us get our luggage up to the first floor and explained everything thoroughly. She did an excellent job. Communication with Stephania during the stay was easy through the Homeaway portal. She helped me with arranging bus transportation to Siena and for a taxi to the airport for our final day. The apartment was as pictured on the website and was so convenient to walk to museums, shopping and restaurants. I do have to mention that there was a lot of street noise that I heard from the master bedroom late into the night almost every night, so bring your earplugs. The only other issue we had was with the stove. We never really got the burners to work properly, but that might have been due to my inexperience with lighting a gas stove. I hesitated to use the cigarette lighter provided. I think one improvement would be to provide long kitchen matches or a butane lighter with a long handle. The real plus items were comfortable beds, air conditioning and hot water and good water pressure in the shower. Would I stay there again? Emphatically, YES!

We did not tour a vineyard. Apartment was the perfect location in historic Florence. Everything was in walking distance. Just an FYI for Americans, in Europe 1st floor is what we would call the 2nd floor. Apartment was accessed by 18 stairs. If climbing stairs is an issue for you this may not be the apartment for you. It was perfect for us.

Absolutely loved our stay here at the Florence tower apartment. Only one flight of stairs and a super comfy bed. The bathroom was a great size and clean. Lastly the location was perfect we walked everywhere from the Ponte Vecchio to the Duomo all the way to Academia with to see the David. If I find myself back in Florence I will definitely stay here. Can confirm the tooth fairy will visit this apartment if needed!

Amazing Location

The location couldn’t be better! Everything Florence has to offer is easy walking distance from this lovely flat. We loved being so close to so much history and culture. The flat was clean and comfortable. A couple things to note. The stairs leading to it are steep and potentially slippery. This is a historic building, wonderfully updated but still has some old world features. Also, be sure to pay the required city tax in advance or you could find yourself locked outside in the rain.

Good apartment in a great location

My family of five, including two teenagers and a younger child, stayed here for three nights in August 2024. The check in process was easy. The owners were communicative and gave clear instructions and met us at the apartment to explain how everything worked. The location of this apartment is amazing. It could not be better. It is close to the Duomo, the ponte vecchio, many wonderful shops and restaurants, and anything else you’d want to see or do in Florence. The apartment sleeps five comfortably. The adults slept on a double bed, the teenagers slept on twins, and the child slept on a pullout couch. The apartment has a tiny washing machine. It does not hold much but if you have been traveling for a few days (like we had) it was nice to be able to do laundry. The air conditioning worked well and was very nice to have in August. The bathroom is small but clean and functional. As many reviews have mentioned, you have to climb some rather steep steps to access this place. This was not a problem for us but would be a problem for anyone who has difficulty with steps. We had a delightful stay here and would stay again if we return to Florence.

Nimoe Riccio saved our vacation!

The apartment was as advertised. Amazing location, no frills, but as promised. It is tucked away from the main streets and the windows do muffle most of the noise when closed. The a/c units in the bedrooms worked really well. But the distinguishing factor in this apartment was the manager, Nimoe, who went well above and beyond to save our vacation. We tucked our passports away when we arrived and then forgot them when we left. We didn't realize they were missing until we were back in Rome. I contacted Nimoe and within 30 minutes she had secured them for us. She then researched ways to mail them to Rome but nothing was fast enough to get them to us before we were scheduled to fly home. So she found a friend who lived near the train station to hand them off to me when I sped back on a train to retrieve them. Her flexibility, creativity, patience, and general grace with me while I was panicking cannot be overstated. I suspect there are many apartments like this one in Florence, but I doubt there a many managers like Nimoe who would do what she did. Grazie mille!

A week in Florence

The host, intermediary and owner very quick to respond to any concerns. Wish we had just a tad more info about using different things in the apartment. All attractions were within walking distance. There is a midnight noise curfew for music, none for revelers, which could be a challenge for some because it is so close to all the action.

Florence Vacation

I’ll start by saying the location is AMAZING! We loved the ease with which we could go anywhere. It made staying in Florence fantastic. Here are some helpful hints: Be careful climbing the steep stairs. Bring some toilet paper as we did. The refreshing shower and couch encourages one to begin the day promptly. Watch out for uneven surfaces. Overall we had a wonderful stay and look forward to going back some time!!

Missing coffee machine, toaster, shampoo& bath gel. Remotes for air conditioning didn’t work. Safe didn’t work. Mold in bathroom and you’ll have to fight with squeaky bathroom pocket door. Don’t expect any basics in this property such as dishsoap, paper towels olive oil or coffee. This property is very old and rustic. But convenient location.
