We loved these accommodations! Clean and cozy and exactly as advertised! The directions and check-in instructions are accurate and easy to follow. The views from the rooftop are spectacular and it is a wonderful place to unwind after walking the beautiful streets of Florence! The neighborhood is lovely and safe. We hope to return!

Beautiful, well-appointed apartment. Secure building with elevator. Don’t let the tiny description fool you! The most comfortable bed we’ve slept in while in Italy. Lots of storage space and amazing natural light. New, modern appliances. Air-conditioning that actually works! The softest, most absorbent bath towels. The terrace view is spectacular but so is the view from inside. Easy walk through the city to reach Duomo, Academia and Uffizzi but in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood at night. We couldn’t ask for better communication or easier check in. Highly recommend

Florence

It was our first time in Florence, the location is so close to all the museums and the Doma we had breakfast every morning in a different café facing the Basilica. The shopping was great; we bought many souvenirs for our staff and family. I highly recommend this place and intend to stay here again when I return.

Beautiful apartment and views

We loved this modern apartment with it’s walkout terrace are. The tram is just down the street to get you to the city center in just minutes. Great corner bar/cafe to have coffee or wine. We found a great neighborhood area just n/w of the apartment and a 3-5 minute walk. Would definitely stay here again

Decided to book something else after arriving on site

Property was dirty, outdoor furniture had stains, there were bugs all over the porch, and the view of the duomo was blocked by cranes and a construction site. We got there and realized this wasn’t for us so we booked another hotel for our stay.

Lovely Penthouse

This was our first trip to Italy. After months of searching thru VRBO’S and reviews we decided to go with Guglielmo’s property. Best decision ever. The location has easy walking access to all point of interest and really good restaurants nearby. (So important for after a long day of walking). The property has amazing views from the huge balcony. It is beautifully decorated and has all the amenities needed for the VRBO life style. It has the so very important elevator needed for a penthouse. Guglielmo was excellent, responded very quickly thru out the whole process and was very accommodating.

We had a lovely stay at this Florence Penthouse. We found the place peaceful, clean and very comfy. We loved the giant rooftop space with panoramic views and plenty of shade and comfortable seating provided. Kitchen had all we needed, good hot water for shower and the bed comfortable. Also conveniently located to the train station by a quick, cheap tram ride or to central Florence to museums and cathedral - which you can also walk to in 20 mins. Guglielmo was great at communicating and had a good guide book on amenities just blocks away. We found a great, local wine shop nearby he recommended.If you don't need to be right in the busy center and like a more quiet neighbourhood feel and love a great view - this little penthouse is perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Guglielmo Carozza

Host profile image
Coming from Maremma, I became a Florentine by adoption, I watch tons of movies, I love being outdoors, the sun, the sea, and the relax. In general I like to make people feel good , and as host my goal is to know that my guests have enjoyed their stay in my apartment.

Why they chose this property

I decided to rent this house because I want to share with my guests the wonderful view over the historic center of Florence, which you can enjoy from the large windows and the terrace and that is visible from a few other places in town.

What makes this property unique

Clearly what made ​​me fall in love with this little attick is the magnificence of the 180° panorama of Florence : the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio , the Medici Chapels If I get the chance to welcome you to then you will tell me what you think, accept bets . :)
