About this property

Perfect Heart of Florence-Super Upscale Location-Roomy-Washer-Elevator

  • FLORENCE ITALY PERFECT PRISCO APARTMENT

    The Prisco apartment is located half a block off fashionable Via Tornabuoni near Palazzo Strozzi. It is on the third floor of a building with an elevator. Restaurants, shops abound in this neighborhood. The apartment is extremely spacious, 85 square meters/900 square feet.

    The morning sun illuminates the living room and kitchen area. Enjoy the comfort and convenience of an open plan living room and kitchen area.

    Throw open the large living room, bedroom & kitchen windows and enjoy the lively scene below. The apartment features many original Italian antiques, yet the living room maintains a casual feel with a modern Italian sofa that opens to become a comfortable bed.

    In the morning zip down to the bakery that is next door to the apartment building and pick out your morning bread and pastries. At night, enjoy a glass of wine and relax a bit before you head out to one of the many excellent neighborhood restaurants.

    The kitchen has a gas range with grill, a large oven, lots of cabinet and countertop space, dishwasher, and a large refrigerator with freezer, pots, pans, dishes.

    The spacious bedroom has high ceilings, a romantic draped bed and a chaise longue-style single bed for one. A pretty hand-painted armoire and an antique dresser provide ample clothing storage space. ! We like to advise guests that since this apartment is in the popular historic center, there can be street noise at night from pedestrians (not cars) down below who are strolling by after a meal at one of the many nearby restaurants, however the bedroom window has a very effective sound-dampening panel.

    Things To Note

    There is a queen bed and a small single bed in the bedroom. The small single bed is suitable for a child.

    8 steps to the elevator.

    Double glazed bedroom windows help reduce pedestrian noise, light sleepers take note of lively neighborhood.

    For stays greater than 4 weeks, a €500 damage deposit is collected in cash on arrival. Utility costs will be deducted from the deposit.

    Check in is from 5pm-7pm, by appointment. NO CHECK IN AFTER 7pm, sorry no exceptions. Check out 10:00am.

    Children 0-17 are allowed

Great location in the heart of downtown. Couldn’t be better.Cleanliness and amenities were perfect.Bedroom was well sound-proofed but main living area seemed to pick up every sound from the street below but this was a minor inconvenience.The owners met us at the property and helped pre-book a taxi when we left at 5am on last day.Would definitely stay here again when we return to Firenze.

Our stay was a great one. Location was near to everything we needed. Our laundry area was just outside our door in a small room. Great restaurant, pastry/coffee shop just a few steps from our apartment, also, a wine window. Our visit was late November and the outdoor decorations were so pretty. Also visited a Christmas market and saw street performers in front of the Duomo…..fabulous!!!

Florence jewel

We loved our stay in Florence at Prisco. Franco and Mikki were wonderful hosts. They were very helpful with the check in process and explaining the workings of the apartment and gave us very helpful recommendations for the city and neighborhood. They were very responsive when we had an issue with our key. The apartment is in the perfect location and is an easy walk to EVERYTHING! The apartment is very well appointed and very comfortable. We highly recommend the Prisco apartment!

Spacious one bedroom, great location, but check to fine print.

This was a wonderful one bedroom apartment located in a perfect part of Florence. Close to everything the apartment is very spacious. Incredibly large bedroom. Comfortable living space and very nice kitchen and bathroom, the owners, Marco and Mikki are very responsive. There is a great bakery and restaurant just two doors down from the property. The only issue I have is that in addition to what you will pay for rent. You also have to pay additional electricity for the space. Which is mentioned in the fine print. So you need to read, everything about this property carefully. It wouldn’t be an issue in the winter, spring or fall. But, in the summer when air conditioning is needed you might pay between $100 and $200 extra euros for a weekly stay. Other than that, the property is exceptional.

A Home Away From Home in the Heart of Florence

We had an amazing stay at this Florence Vrbo! From the moment we arrived, the hosts were incredibly welcoming and gracious, especially when we had trouble finding the apartment (totally on us, we were just tired from traveling!). They patiently guided us in, then spent time walking us through everything: how to use the air conditioner, stove, washing machine, and even how to check the electricity meter. They also shared helpful tips for getting around the city. So thoughtful and kind!Do note that the check-in process is very thorough and takes about 45 minutes, so plan that into your schedule. Also, there’s an additional utility charge. Ours came to about 5 euros/day, running the AC in the evenings due to the summer heat. Definitely reasonable and well worth it for the comfort.The apartment itself is fantastic! Incredibly spacious for two people and could easily accommodate more. It’s filled with gorgeous natural light and truly felt like a home away from home. The location is unbeatable: we loved the ritzy coffee shop downstairs and the wine window right across the street.We cannot recommend this place enough for a short getaway or a longer stay in Florence. It was the perfect base to explore the city and come home to something special each day. Would absolutely return!

Amazing property location, huge space—looks exactly as depicted. Lots of natural light, but quiet (noise cancelling windows!). AV works great. Beds are firm but comfy. Lots of pillow options. Shower water pressure could have been stronger. Elevator is simple and easy to use. Hosts are wonderful people. Easy to work with and very helpful providing useful information for your stay.

The property was amazing. For Florence standards it was huge. Location was also perfect. In a very safe area and a very safe building. We have stayed in Florence many times in VRBO‘s. And this was the best one by far yet. The best part about this apartment are the owners Niki and Franco. They tell you what time to meet them there, and they are exactly on time. Then they take you up sit you down and tell you all about this apartment and everything you would ever need to know about the area. As I said, it was a very large apartment and the bedroom alone was the size of the other apartments we’ve stayed at in Florence. We will be back ASAP.

A large, light, quiet apartment within a short walking distance of everything one wants to see in the old section of Florence and the train station. A big, workable kitchen, adequate bathroom, comfortable furnishings. The owners were very helpful - providing us with restaurant, travel and shopping information.

Prisco is great place in great location

Advert is quite accurate in all counts and even understates how this large apt. is in a great location for sights and events, with excellent restaurants and stores and the "Rodeo Drive" of Florence 1/4 block away; bring earplugs for sleeping because of area popularity; owners Miki and Franco are such nice and helpful people; I will definitely stay at Prisco again when I return to Florence

Absolutely amazing location, owners and full of life. Thank you so much for having us!

Imagine the absolute perfect spot in Firenze. This is it. 16th century apartment with space for our entire family, close to all the action and amazing food close by. Without the fabolous owners and beautiful home, our trip would not have been even close to the success it was. Enjoy and tell them the Mertz family will be back every year or two!

Great location, close to everything; extremely nice and helpful owners; charming, clean, and well equipped apartment, with little kitchen. The only problem we had was that the living room is not sound insulated as well as the bedroom, so it was harder to sleep well there.

Simply awesome!

This apartment is exactly as advertised. It is large and comfortable and convenient to many things. There is a grocery store about a block away, an ATM across the street, a bakery a few doors down and a travel agency across the street in case you need any help. We had them book our train tickets so we didn't have to buy them at the station. It was an easy walk to the station. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Florence.

Perfect Italy Location

Prisco was the perfect Italian apartment for us. Very spacious and a fantastic location! Close to everything we needed. The train was a very close and easy walk for day trips. We were given clear instructions for how to use everything in the apartment and everything went perfectly. I read about noise, but we had no problem at all. The bedroom was very dark and quiet. I had never rented an apartment while away, but this was definitely the way to go. I highly recommend Italy Perfect and Prisco!

Old World Charm in a Great Location

A friend and I stayed in the Prisco apartment for 4 nights. The apartment is huge and decorated with Old World charm. The hosts are very gracious and gave us lots of information about the apartment and nearby attractions. There is a small collection of business cards from recommended restaurants; the ones we could get into (it was Easter and very crowded) were excellent. There is no street noise in the bedroom but it was sometimes loud for the person sleeping on the bed in the living room. Everything you need--small kitchen, washing machine, wireless internet--is available in this unit. It is also within walking distance of most of the attractions. I also had questions from the rental agency, Italy Perfect and couldn't be happier with the service I received. I recommend this apartment without hesitation.

Perfect location and generously sized

We spent 2 weeks at the Prisco and had a wonderful stay. Mikki and Franco were warm hosts who made certain that we had everything we needed. The apartment is very spacious and has a fully equipped kitchen. The location is perfect walking distance to pretty much everywhere you would want to see in the city. Florence is a late night city, especially on the weekends so expect some lively noise from the street below. However, there is very little vehicle traffic. A sound proof glass door has been installed from the small patio off the bedroom and it is 100% effective. The bathroom has been updated and includes a bidet. The only minor issue is that the shower/tub might be too small for a very tall or large person. This is typical of most European baths. Lastly, the wireless internet connection was quite good. There is also a printer available. We highly recommend the Prisco to anyone planning to spend time in Florence who wants gracious, comfortable, and spacious accommodations in a perfectly situated neighborhood. We had a fabulous stay and so will you! We also highly recommend Italy Perfect. All was as described on their website and our stay was everything we could have wanted.

Location, Space, Comfort

Location couldn't be better (close to transport, churches, galleries, food, markets). Space to move around (3 adults for a while ... no one in anyone's pocket; well furnished for minor entertaining [we had friends from Rome, London, Portugal, and Cape Town for coffee and chat]/ but minor problems with kitchen furnishings). Comfortable for we two (lift for us over 70s helped); short stay by son in living room, however, proved there should have been more than "advice" about noise; public amenities (restaurants, etc.) as described by other reviewers were a decided plus as were the charming "greeters". Somewhat over-managed, with Italy Perfect deciding not the check time zones before an unsolicited call after initial booking and the apparent plethora of requirements including another interface, in addition to VRBO, demanding attention with little in return for the time. I guess it's hard dealing with properties from abroad and proximate simultaneously. Light, sunny, airy, and central, the flat was for 14 days over Easter, a real gem. Personally, however, we would not deal with the over-management again. Our thanks to the "greeters" for their generosity of spirit.

A wonderful 6 days in Florence

Our 6 night stay in Florence was wonderful, thanks in large part to our stay in Prisco - a clean, bright, spacious, and well-appointed apartment that was no more than a 30 minute walk to all of old-world Florence's major sites. Our lovely Italian hosts Mikki and Franco welcomed us with a helpful orientation, a bottle of chianti, and spot-on recommendations for restaurants and city sites. The 3rd floor apartment on a lovely cobblestone street had everything we needed, and everything, including the elevator, washing machine and all of the small appliances worked well. We quickly settled in as part of the neighborhood and relished the fact that we could walk the city for hours and come back to "our own place" to lunch on the cheeses, fresh fruit, bread and prosciutto that we bought at the central market earlier that day,(a must stop if you are a foody.) The size of the apartment was more than adequate for the two of us and could easily accommodate a family, (the bedroom alone at 16 x 20 was the size of many studios). With the tall windows open we could let in the sounds of the city which included the every present motor scooters and the chatter of folks strolling around. Thankfully, a sound-proofing full glass door in the small bedroom balcony window reduced most to the street noise at night. We found the Italy Perfect folks a pleasure to work with. The rental process was simple and straightforward, and we found the information they provided to help prepare us for the trip invaluable. We would highly recommend both Italy Perfect and the Prisco apartment and look forward to renting from them again when we return to Florence.

A Perfect Week in a Perfect Location

Our weeklong stay in Prisco Apartment was a most enjoyable experience. The apartment was quite large, very well appointed (the kitchen was beautifully done and would rival any kitchen in the US), beautifully decorated, and perfectly located. It more than met our expectations. The owners, Miki and Franco, were very helpful in getting us settled in and satisfied our every need, even going beyond the norm by presenting us with a bottle of Champagne and a nice bottle of Italian wine to help us celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. The apartment was very comfortable and it really felt as if we were coming home when we returned each afternoon from our visit to the wonders of Florence. It was truly our home away from home. The locations is perfect, about 10 to 20 minute walk from all of the many exciting attractions of Florence and less than a 10 minute walk from the train station. It is close to excellent restaurants and just a couple of doors away from a wonderful bakery that became our stop each day upon our return to the apartment. My wife and I are in our early 70's so the fact that there was an elevator was an important feature for us. The streets of Florence can be quite noisy both day and night, but the triple-paned door installed on the bedroom window kept the noise out so it never effected our sleep. We would definitely return to this apartment if and when we are back in Florence. I have already recommended the Prisco apartment to our friends and told them that they must check out the many offerings of Italy Perfect if they are planning a visit to Italy. Once you have stayed in an apartment you will never return to a hotel room. The arrangements for our stay were handled without difficulty and the information provided by Italy Perfect prior to our arrival in Florence was of great assistance in getting us off on the right foot. Thanks to all for everything done to make our stay in Florence so perfect and so very memorable.
