Amazing apartment in central Florence

We stayed four nights in this amazing two floor apartment on a quiet but central street in Florence. Silvia was so quick to respond to any of our questions. It was also super quiet since it’s on a tiny side street.Very recommended!

Lovely Flat in a Great Location

We loved staying at Sylvia's flat. It was fully equipped with everything we requied and close to great restaurants and shopping. Our only issue was the amount of stairs which was an issue, especially for the luggage.

Quiet spot with two rooms, lots of space and everything you need for a great stay. I was often surprised at what was available to me. Umbrellas to cafe in house. This is a perfect spot.

A Perfect Spot in Florence

This property was comfortable and cool. A beautiful view of the Duomo was a plus! Everything was convenient and close for an easy stay. The apartment is on the top floor, so be prepared to climb 78 stairs every time you go in and out of your place. The decor is amazing with many pieces of artwork. Comfy bed and furniture made things nice. I recommend this apartment to everyone who is in decent shape.

Fabulous in Florence

The perfect apartment in the heart of Florence is how I would describe this place! Steps away from all of the cafes, restaurants, shops and attractions.

Great views!

My husband and I stayed here for our last night in Florence and it was perfect for us. The location and views of the Duomo from the balcony were fabulous! Access to the building using a phone was very easy and there are a lot of steps, but that is how you get the views. This was a nice way to end our trip!

Awesome place

My wife and I spent 5 glorious days in Florence, and the highlight of the trip by far was our stay at this wonderful spot very close to the Duomo. Despite the 4 flights of steps to get to the top floor, the place was amazing and very accommodating. We loved this apartment and miss it already! I would highly recommend this to anyone in a heartbeat.

About the host

Hosted by Silvia Palagi

Host profile image
Hello everyone, my name is Silvia and I live in Viareggio, where I deal with tourism.
For professional reasons, therefore, I know the problems linked to hospitality.
So, together with my husband Guido, we decided to rent our apartments in Florence, providing them with all the comforts that we like to find in a house when we go on holiday and I can say that our guests are always been very satisfied. We look forward to welcoming you and we remain at your disposal for any information you might need!

Why they chose this property

It is the home of our dreams! Quiet, bright, cozy and comfortable, in the heart of the city, where "things happen"; we have restored and decorated with love and we spend all the time available, consistent with my work - which for a few years - I will keep in Viareggio. When we are not there, we want our guests and friends to live our own magic ....

What makes this property unique

The light, the silence, the beautiful view, comfort, make our nest a special place in which to relax, study, receive friends; or simply re-energize after a day of visits to the many attractions of Florence!
