Luxurious apartment short walk from historic center

Great apartment slightly off the beaten path but within an easy walk of the historic city center. We appreciated the large living space to spread out and there were also lovely views from various rooms. Multiple levels, so stairs are a factor, but for most groups this shouldn’t be an issue. We enjoyed our stay.

Home away from HOme

This apartment was very comfortable and tastefully designed. In a perfect location just out of the hussle of the centre of Florence. Our host Matilda was very welcoming and took us through all we needed to know for our stay. The apartment was equipped with everything you need. We enjoyed our stay, experiences in the Chianti region and meeting the friendly locals. Would highly recommend this property if you want to be close to all the sites.

Florence retreat

Beautiful very well appointed three level apartment. Within walking distance to major attractions and restaurants. One bedroom is a very nice en suite. The other bedroom is very spacious and also nice but does not have a shower as a part of the en suite so have to go down two levels to shower. It is a very secure apartment in a nice area and has a lift which was great for our luggage.

Luxury apartment in Florence, Italy

We truly enjoyed our stay at Matilda's beautiful apartment. The location was excellent. A 10 minute walk to many main attractions. Matilda was very responsive and accommodating. The apartment is very spacious with high quality appliances and furnishings. The washing and drying machines were a plus. We were impressed with the security system, which provided a safe entrance and exit. The apartment looks onto a private courtyard and was very quiet. Looking forward to a return trip in the future! Thank you Matilda!!!!

outstanding apartment, very kind and helpful host

We spent a wonderful week at Matildas splendid apartment. The Apartment is located next to Piazza della Indipendencia, just a few minutes walk away from Central Market and within walking distance to the duomo and the main attractions you want to see in Florence. After strolling around in vibrant Florence for several hours we always loved to return to this peaceful and tastefully equipped place, enjoying the aircondition and spaciousness as well as having some coffee and sweets or some pasta and wine (bought fresh pasta at Central Market!). Matilda, our host was always helpful in every respect as well as very quickly responding to all of our questions. She arranged, that our son and his fiancée who joined us and our daughter for a few days and arrived earlier, could already get into the appartment before we arrived and answered our questions throughout the whole stay very quickly. The Apartment is very clean and very well equipped in every respect. Beds are very comfortable (a really big one in the masterbedroom), showers work very well even high up under the roof. Stairs in the apartment were no problem for us but would be for handicapped people and might be for families with small children. We highly recommend this outstanding place to anyone who wants to enjoy a pleasant and relaxing stay in a tastefull surrounding in wonderful Florence.

The apartment and its location were fabulous. 10 minutes from train station, we walked to all attractions. Delicious food options minutes from our front door. Only glitch for our visit was television was out due to storms prior to arrival. Provider was supposed to have it back in service within 48 hours but never worked. Don’t blame host for this issue. Loved our stay in Florence and would stay here again! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

We really enjoyed our stay at the apartment. It is tastefully decorated, impeccably clean and with a lovely light filled dining and living room. The layout is such that there are stairs within the flat but this wasn’t an issue for us. Matilda is a highly responsive host - made check in easy, replied quickly to any questions and was very accommodating with our luggage. I would highly recommend.

Don’t look any further if you need a place to stay in Florence!! This apartment was VERY CLEAN, VERY SPACIOUS (accommodating our family of 5 easily), EASILY WALKABLE to most sites and the entire space is AIR CONDITIONED (to the point that my wife wanted a sweatshirt, but I thought it was perfect!)!! Our host met us when we arrived and went through the entire space and also helped us when we asked about making a dinner reservation! Communication was prompt and very easy through the VRBO app.

Great location and apartment. Enjoyed being in a more residential neighborhood just outside the central district. Easy walk everywhere though. Unit is modern, clean and completely updated. Every amenity was provided. Matilda was extremely responsive/helpful both before and during our stay. Highly recommended this apartment. Although we only spend three nights there, would be a great choice for people looking for a longer term rental as well.

Amazing 3 night stay

We (family of 5 adults) stayed 3 nights at Matilda’s property in the middle of our 12 night trip to France and Italy. It is exactly as the pictures show and even more charming in person. Stocked with everything you need, including a washer/dryer which was a welcome perk. We were exhausted after arriving by train from Nice and Matilda recommended a local restaurant Fuoco Matto, which was steps away and fantastic. Florence is beautiful and wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend this property!

Beautiful place!

Beautiful property, but cannot recommend to families with small children or elderly. This apartment has many stairs and no baluster to keep you from falling off. Also did not have air conditioning as advertised, which was a bummer because it was really hot and stuffy on hot days. Showers were super tiny. Overall would still recommend to young couples or friends traveling together.

Fantastic apartment

We loved our stay in this modern apartment. The location was perfect – we could easily walk to all the major sights, the train station was easy to reach, but since the apartment was just outside the city center, it was a less busy area. And the apartment was on the opposite side from the street, essentially eliminating any outside noise, with a beautiful view of the Tuscan hills.The apartment itself was very well-equipped and it felt like a home away from home. We really appreciated having all the essentials like towels and kitchen supplies on hand. And the laundry facilities, with a regular washer and dryer, were a great perk.Matilda was super helpful and very responsive throughout the whole process. She answered all of our questions and gave us some wonderful recommendations for local restaurants. We highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Florence. It made our trip so much more enjoyable. We can’t wait to visit again!
