About this condo rental

Nestled in Florence, this attractive condo for $308 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. This characteristic two bedroom apartment is located on the top floor (fourth) with an elevator of an old Florentine liberty style palazzo. It is located in the heart of Florence one half block from the cathedral square. This is a no traffic street. The flat has the most spectacular view of the Cathedral Dome with its lovely rooftop terrace (unforgettable views). It is situated on two floors. The entry level houses the two bedrooms (one with two single beds and one with a double bed) and 2 bathroom with a shower stall. On the next floor (reached by a small wooden stairway) there is the living/dining area and small (but functional) kitchen alcove. There is a lovely corner fireplace in the living area. Up a few steps is the study area with a day bed (single) and its spectacular view of the Cathedral dome. From the study you enter the terrace. The terrace has outdoor furniture and a big sun umbrella. The furnishings are comfortable and reflect the owners many travels to the far east. We are a family of three: my husband is a doctor, my 30 year old son and I am a math teacher. We are native Florentines and we live on the third floor of the building. Our English speaking skills are fairly basic so please be patient and excuse any mistakes when you. P.S. From my precedent American guest. We stayed at a delightful place in Florence and want to let you know about the place. It is no problem communicating with Angela by e mail but she does not speak English although her 30 year old son, Marco, speaks English. The location is fantastic ! It is about a 10 minute walk from the train station and smack in the middle of everything. As a matter of fact, when you step out of the building you are in one of the main thoroughfares and surrounded by about 4 restaurants and stores. Amazing thing is that when you are in the flat you cannot hear the street noise at all .. it is only when you are down on the ground floor about to step through the door that you hear the street noise. So, you find number 11 .. press Angela's flat (she lives on the 2nd floor and the flat is on the 3rd floor) and she meets you at the door. You go through the old main door .. then an iron gate .. then up a short stairs and you come to the elevator; which is amazing in itself. It is a modern elevator but will hold only 2 people .. or one with bunch of luggage. The unit itself is on 3 levels .. as you enter there are 2 bedrooms and 2 bath (shower) on the main floor. This can sleep a couple in the double bed room .. and two singles (or 3 as there are also 1 extra bed!) or other couple in the other room. The you walk up a short set of stairs and you arrive in the living room which has a fire place .. dining table and comfortable chairs. Also a kitchen well equipped whit microwave , mini oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher washing machine. The you go up one more level to the study; which is attached to a marvelous roof top deck with fantastic view of the Florence sky line. The study has a wonderful couch where one more person can sleep (sofa bed) . Other than that .. what a find. The location is perfect .. I love all the restaurants and shops around her place .. And we lit the fire in the fireplace and it was marvelous .. to be able to make a cup of tea in the kitchen .. on an on ..

From booking to check out Sandro was wonderful to work with. The apartment is very nice with a terrace view that is just beautiful. Sandro is a very sweet man who was very patient with our questions,booked us early morning taxis and recommended restaurants and grocery stores for our stay.We would love to come back and stay there again!

This property is spacious, well-kept, and nicely appointed with a gorgeous deck. For years, we stayed a few doors down at another apartment and looked at this amazing terrace. The fact that it has an elevator made this perfect for us. Sandro was a gracious host. The apartment had everything we needed. We love the area, which has great restaurants in close proximity, historic attractions, and a good grocery virtually downstairs. I'm afraid it won't be available when we want to stay again...it's that good.

Sandro's apartment is even better than it looks in the photos. Clean, spacious, comfortable, quiet, well equipped and everything we wanted for an 11 day stay to celebrate 60th & 21st birthdays. Sandro was super helpful when we arrived and to sort out one small question during the stay. Being on the 4th floor makes the apartment really quiet and the patio looking out on the Duomo was a favourite spot all week. The lift is fine and even the steps up are wide and comfortable. The kitchen is well set up for cooking simple meals - but there are so many fabulous places to eat on the doorstep that you probably wouldn't cook a big meal for a family. The bedrooms and the beds are big and comfortable, there are air-conditioning units throughout (although we didn't need them) and the lounge is the ideal space to relax and read / watch the football on the TV! We had a perfect holiday - Grace mille Sandro!

Great place to stay in Florence. Steps away from the major tourist attractions, restaurants and shops. Topped off with a terrace that has an incredible view of the Duomo. And despite being in the center of the"action", the bedrooms were both very quiet at night. Sandro the host lives one floor down, and was there to greet us and show us around the apartment. Only caution would be if you have issues negotiating stairs. While there is an elevator to the apartment, you have to climb a flight of stairs to reach it. And the apartment itself is on several levels. My wife and I had originally booked this apartment in 2019 for a 2020 stay. The pandemic disrupted those plans. When travel opened up again, we decided to rebook Sandro's apartment -and are now glad we did. Fully endorse staying here, you won't regret it.

We had a fabulous time exploring Florence from Sandro and Angela's beautiful apartment a short distance from the Duomo. Our hosts were lovely and greeted us with a bottle of wine that we enjoyed on the rooftop terrace. Highly recommend this property if you are planning a visit to Florence!

The apartment is a 10-15 min walk from the train station (SMN) and is easily navigated with Apple Maps. It is located on an amazing street of businesses, restaurants and plenty of activity, all within a 5 min walk of the Duomo and 10 mins from Accademia (Statue of David). The best part of the apartment is the amazing terrace with views of the Duomo and the city like I’ve never seen before. Stefano is wonderful to communicate with, gracious and responsive. The beds are quite uncomfortable - but we were so worn out from enjoying our vacation we slept anyhow. Even being located on a super busy street, we were never bothered with noise. In fact, we often opened windows to hear street music when we went to bed, but it ended early enough to not be bothersome. Stay here, you’ll thank me!

The property is just round the corner from the duomo, with a beautiful view of it from the terrace. Close to shops, markets and restaurants but quiet inside. The host Sandro was warm and friendly.
