My mother and I have just returned from our annual vacation in Florence and a fantastic two-week stay at this beautiful apartment. We've stayed at many wonderful places over the years and we both agree that this is the best.
The location is perfect and the major attractions are within walking distance. We appreciated the historic atmosphere of the apartment, part of a famous palazzo with a magnificent view on the Arno, beautiful terracotta flooring and beamed ceilings, furnished with tasteful antiques, and featuring a stunning frescoed ceiling in the master bedroom. Perfect for lovers of Tuscan art and architecture!
The apartment is extremely clean and well-maintained. Giusi, the owner, was always available by email and phone, and is wonderfully friendly, helpful, and professional.
My mother and I enjoyed dining in the many fine restaurants in the Santa Croce district: Del Fagioli, Maremma, and Torcicoda, just to name a few. The kitchen in the apartment is extremely well-equipped and we had many delicious meals at home as well.
We delighted in our visits to the Uffizi, the Accademia, Fiesole, churches, the markets, Hop On Hop Off city bus tours, and generally strolling about.
We would certainly recommend this apartment to friends and relatives; in fact, we already have! We plan to return here every Summer for our Firenze vacation and I've already made a booking for a week's stay in October.
Thank you, Giusi, for your excellent customer service and for providing such a wonderful rental opportunity for visitors to Florence.
