A very comfortable and modern apartment overlooking Florence!

We loved staying here! It was an easy walk to Florence's city center, and nice to be in one of the neighborhoods. Some amazing food nearby (especially Kagura) and some easy locations for groceries. If we stay in Florence again, I'm going to see if this apartment is available.

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 . :)
