Family in Florence

Wonderful place for our family while in Florence. We were very comfortable with the space and all the accommodations. The location is great, a bit outside the main center of the city but easy to walk to all the sites. The neighborhood is great with many shops and restaurants. Also an amazing gelato place at the end of the block.

The best stay in Florence

We had the best time in Florence staying at this VRBO near Port de Roma. The vibe of the neighborhood and the shops near by are fantastic. We especially loved the gelato store at the corner. Thank you again for hosting us!

Living like a local

Well appointed as restaurants, shops, coffee, and market all in walking distance situated amongst the locals . Historical canter is a 30 min leisure walk and felt touristy in comparison. Very comfortable stay here. Would definitely recommend .

The apartment worked out well for us. It is clean and well equipped and quite convenient to the historic centre of Florence. The kitchen is well equipped and the washing machine was a big bonus.Patrizia was there to greet us and show us around. She also told us about buses to take to where we wanted to go and where we could get groceries.When it was time for us to leave, both Patrizia and Stefano were there to say goodbye and Stefano helped with our luggage.The only downside is that there isn’t an elevator and the apartment is on the 2nd floor in Europe (3rd floor in North America). Otherwise, it was ideal.

Fantastic!

I highly recommend this place. It was super clean, in a great location since we didn't want to stay in the middle of the city center. The host was very kind and even helped us secure a parking garage for our rental car. I couldn't have been more pleased and appreciative of her help!

Quiet side of the Arno

This is a beautiful and comfortable property. Highly recommended. One of the best restaurants we went to during a three week Europe trip was does down from the property. The hosts were friendly and gracious. I really liked being on the other side of the Arno away from the noise at night but a short walk to get to everything by day

Cute home outside city centre

The home was very nice and clean. Patrizia and Stefano were very welcoming when we arrived and easy to communicate with before and after checkin. The area is nice and quiet compared to the busy city centre, which is about 20 minutes walk away. The beds were comfortable. There’s lots of good cafés and bars nearby, one we really enjoyed, and that is along the walk towards the city centre is Pitti Express. Overall a great stay!
