The elegance in the heart of Florence

The apartment guarantees high standards of cleanliness given the covid emergency.

Beautiful and convenient location

The property is beautiful and well appointed with modern bathrooms. Be prepared for a lot of stairs (from the lobby, up two levels and from the lower floor with the bedrooms/game room/one bathroom and the upper floor with kitchen/family room/gorgeous patio/2nd bathroom). There are groceries and restaurants within walking distance (3-7 blocks) and the bus stop on Corso Gelone can get you quickly to Ortigia.

Riccardo was an exceptional host! He was a great communicator leading up to trip, met us at apartment, giving excellent instructions, and throughout our trip. The apartment is beautiful and even more spacious in person. It has everything you need and so close to great coffee shops, restaurants, and attractions.

Wonderful stay in Firenze

We were four ladies traveling together and this apartment was perfect for us. The neighborhood was quiet and on the edge of the busier tourist areas. Major sites were in walking distance. There were wonderful restaurant’s just down the street. The apartment was clean and well equipped. Our host Ricardo met us at check in and reviewed details of the apartment with us. Our stay was delightful. If I returned to Florence, I would definitely stay there again.

Florence in February

Our stay was wonderful. Riccardo was very friendly and helpful. The apartment is clean and very comfortable. It located in a great location near to the Santa Novella train station, the tram stop that is there, and a short walk to the central market. The area was very quiet. I would book it again for sure.

Great Apartment and Location !

Stayed at this location for 3 nights with my wife. What a perfect location for seeing a lot of the major attractions while in Florence. Walking distance to everything. Including some great restaurants and shops. Check in and out with Ricardo could not have been easier. Very helpful and allowed freedom to really enjoy the city. Thank you for a wonderful stay. I highly recommend this location. We hope to return soon someday.

Quaint and homey

My mom, sister and I rented this apartment for a week. Our host graciously met us for an early check in, which we really appreciated. The apartment was comfortable and felt like a perfect quiet get away right around the corner from the action. It really feels like my grandmother's old apartment with feminine touches and a warm feel. Having two bathrooms and a tub was a nice treat! We loved it and will happily return!

The apartment is beautiful, clean and spacious.

We were greeted by Patrizia, Riccardo's mother. She was very pleasant and helpful. The apartment is located a short walk from all of Florence's attractions including the main train station, Duomo and Statue of David. The hosts left us wine, beer and water. We loved everything about our stay and are grateful to Riccardo and Patrizia for making our first trip to Florence so memorable. We will be back!

Scam. Vacation ruined, host cancelled booking at check in time.

We booked in June for late September stay. Fully paid and confirmed in early September. Arrived in Florence and took tram to apt and at 3pm, when should be meeting to get into the apt, we got message from him saying he overbooked and would refund us but had no place to stay for 3 days. Tried calling number listed in booking which was his mother and she gave us his number, we called him but he never responded. After numerous messages we are still trying to get full refund from Riccardo. Avoid this place .
