Paulo was absolutely wonderful when we checked in and left a map of the city with great recommendations of where to eat/visit. A beautiful, cozy apartment ideally located close to the river and walking distance from many wonderful locations. Highly recommend for your stay in Florence.

Basket of the Angels is an amazing apartment, perfect for traveling with family as the 2 additional bedrooms are off the main hallway and up their own stairwells making them very private. It was the perfect location and a wonderful property.

Our family really enjoyed this setting. The apartment accommodated all 5 of us comfortably. Air conditioning a plus. Dining and living rooms spacious. Great views of Florence from picture windows in the apartment. Easy to walk to Arno river and historic Florence area . Supermarket close by. Washing machine was an advantage to us. Folding drying rack would be helpful in addition to window clothing drying lines.
Kitchen small but contained all the essentials. Many steps to climb to the top floor but the view from windows are worth it.

This apartment is huge with beautiful views of Florence's historic architecture at every window of the unit. It was steps away from the river, close to all the important sites, and an easy walk from the train station. Easy and timely check-in with gracious hosts. An easy recommendation! Thank you!

We loved it! The location was perfect, away from the craziness but a short walk to the heart of the city. The apartment was spacious and clean.
We most certainly will return if back in Florence. Highly recommend it!

Paolo met us on the street to bring us to the property. After the pre warned flights of steps (not so bad after all as you go up and down maybe once or twice a day and can work off the pasta and gelato) we were toured around this great rental property. Perfect for our family of 4 !! two separate bedrooms up separate flights of stairs, one for each daughter in their 20's and gorgeous area to sleep (not really a bedroom but loved it!) on the main floor. Kitchen not great for cooking but why the heck would you cook in Florence anyhow LOL Just used it to store our vino and appetizer foods we bought ....otherwise we were out and about from morning til bedtime pretty much. Views were amazing and comfort and style were perfect. I would stay here again for sure !!! Location was perfect. the only thing I would have loved were laundry machine instructions in English LOL and the scented reed/diffuser at the front entrance was too strong. Need a much lighter pleasant scent. Wondered what smell it might be covering up LOL If you have scent sensitivities ask them to remove before. No biggie....again you will be rarely there in the apartment but when you are YOU WILL LOVE EVERY MINUTE....more spacious than you can imagine !!!

Perfect Firenze locale
We know Firenze well, and we’re delighted with this comfortable relaxing apartment. It was well appointed and very relaxing, the views were stupendous and it felt as it was: totally old yet perfectly current. The stairs might frighten a lot of people but we only needed to carry cases up once, so were very happy in our eyrie. We will definitely return and recommend, as it is well located yet out of the way….

The apartment is in a sweet neighborhood with lots of charming little shops and eateries. An easy walk to all the “must sees” in Florence. The agent is more beautiful than the photos. The view is spectacular and we enjoyed every minute of our time there
Can’t wait to go back! Ciao!

Excellent property, a real gem
A fantastic apartment with all mod cons. Really comfortable stay, with air con in all rooms. Amazing view of the Cestello Church Dome. Lovely district only a ten minute walk to the centre of Florence and vibrant night life with welcoming locals in bars and restaurants.

The apartment was great and had everything (other than an elevator) and the only time it was a struggle was with luggage so pack light. The beds were very comfortable, lots of great restaurants close by in quaint neighborhood. We walked to the heart of Florence both mornings which took about 15-20 min. It was also very quiet with great views. You dont need a car and we had to struggle to find a garage so book ahead as it may be cheaper. Paolo was great to work with.

Wonderful stay in Florence
We had an amazing time in Florence at Silvia's apartment. The location was perfect- we were able to walk everywhere we needed to go. The apartment was just perfect for our family of 5- large, cool and well appointed. Thank you Silvia for a perfect stay in Florence.

Our stay at Silvia's apartment was wonderful. It's large and was both comfortable and convenient for five of us as we toured Florence. The apartment was modern and comfortable in an ancient and amazing city! Thanks to Paola and Silvia for making our stay so easy!

Beautiful apartment
We loved our stay at Oltrarno. The apartment is absolutely beautiful. The building is in a wonderful part of town that is very walkable to every thing you want to see. It is also very quiet and the views from every window are amazing. All the windows open too, which is very nice. We were two couples and we all had a great time.

I had a great time in Florence. The description was accurate. The checkout was a little confusing. My paperwork said 10:30 but the maid was trying to kick me out at 10:00 am.

Fantastic apartment in the centre of Florence
We had a great short break at the end of October in this apartment which is beautifully decorated and furnished and is extremely comfortable. It is situated within easy walking distance of all the main attractions and in a road which has all the little shops you need and lots of lovely restaurants. The owner Silvia, and Laura who met us on arrival, were welcoming, friendly and eager to help.

Beautiful Place and Nice Location
The apartment is clean and well-appointed with everything you'll need to enjoy your stay in Florence. It's just across the river and two bridges down from Ponte Vecchio, which for us, was perfect. We enjoyed being away from the crowds but still close enough to walk to anything we'd want to see. We had 7 people in the apartment, which was probably just a couple too many, requiring us to put two kids on the pull-out sofa in the main family room, but even so, it was comfortable and wonderful. Claudia, who checked us in, could not have been nicer. We greatly appreciated her hospitality and availability to assist us when we had questions. We would definitely rent here again.

Fabulous, bright, spacious apartment in a lovely location!
This wonderful apartment is located on the top floor of a 5 story building, 2 to 3 bridges away from the Ponte Vecchio. There are short stairs with no elevator but it was not a problem. It accommodated our 2 families - 4 adults and 3 children beautifully. The space is bright and contemporary with classic European touches. 3 Bedrooms were cozy, with 2 located off of two small, short separate staircases. There was enough privacy and shared spaces for our families. A small kitchen provided an opportunity to cook breakfast (after tiring of bread, croissants) with fresh provisions from the small market across the street. The street itself is quiet yet has a good array of restaurants. It is a very quick walk to the Santa Trinita bridge and an easy 10-15 minute walk to the Ponte Vecchio. This was our third time to Firenze. By far, this was the best place! Sylvia and Claudia were so helpful and gracious. We look forward to returning again in the future!
