A spectacular property in a less crowded neighborhood but an easy walk to central Florence.

Our host Filippo was so responsive on internet before our trip and sorted any problems and requests we had. He gave us a thorough orientation to the apartment and filled a local map with key info. The apartment is in a lovely older building across from a small park and within short walk of good food and large supermarket. Iris about a 25 minute walk along the Arno River to the Centre of old Florence Can’t say enough good things about this place.Tim and Irene

FANTASTICO SOGGIORNO

Ho alloggiato nella struttura di Filippo insieme ad una comitiva di 9 amici, siamo stati benissimo! Innanzitutto Filippo è stato molto disponibile fin dalla prenotazione effettuata sul sito, con consigli ed informazioni utili. Il soggiorno è stato molto piacevole, la casa era ben tenuta e pulita, con ampi spazi e dotata di tutto il necessario!Infine anche la posizione è ottimale, in 10/15 minuti sei in centro e nelle principali piazze!

Great size apartment that can accommodate multiple people/families and very clean. Host is excellent and provided a lot of information on the area and things to do in Florence and the surrounding area. Dining options are limited in the area surrounding the apartment but there are plenty across the river in Florence within a short taxi or bus ride. Apartment was fairly quiet even though there is a busy street right outside but parking is somewhat difficult if you rent a car as you must find an open parking space on the busy streets and must pay for the parking every day except for Sunday. If you do have a rental car and park, I highly recommend using the Easy Park app instead of paying at the metering stations. The app works in most places in Italy and Europe.

Spectacular

Wonderful property and location. It is located just over the bridge away from the middle of town and noise, but within walking distance of a grocery store, restaurants, and, of course, the museums and shopping. Our property manager Filippo was great and so helpful. The property was just as advertised, lots of room and two lovely balconies. We would definitely come back to stay next time we come to Florence.

VRBO location was fantastic. Filippo was a wonderful host and most helpful. The apartment was clean and roomy with all the amenities necessary for our family's comfort. Easy walk to local restaurants, but not too close to tourist destinations. When in Florence again we would definitely stay here.
