Property owner/manager was extraordinarily responsive and helpful. Uniquely enjoyable property with a remarkable view of Florence. We will rent the penthouse again.
Nicely appointed penthouse. It has everything you need.
Balcony view of sunset was stunning. Great place for a glass or two of good Italian wine and great Italian food.

We had a lovely stay at this Florence Penthouse. We found the place peaceful, clean and very comfy. We loved the giant rooftop space with panoramic views and plenty of shade and comfortable seating provided. Kitchen had all we needed, good hot water for shower and the bed comfortable. Also conveniently located to the train station by a quick, cheap tram ride or to central Florence to museums and cathedral - which you can also walk to in 20 mins. Guglielmo was great at communicating and had a good guide book on amenities just blocks away. We found a great, local wine shop nearby he recommended.If you don't need to be right in the busy center and like a more quiet neighbourhood feel and love a great view - this little penthouse is perfect.

Beautiful, well-appointed apartment. Secure building with elevator. Don’t let the tiny description fool you! The most comfortable bed we’ve slept in while in Italy. Lots of storage space and amazing natural light. New, modern appliances. Air-conditioning that actually works! The softest, most absorbent bath towels. The terrace view is spectacular but so is the view from inside. Easy walk through the city to reach Duomo, Academia and Uffizzi but in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood at night. We couldn’t ask for better communication or easier check in. Highly recommend

We loved staying here! It was an easy walk to Florence's city center, and nice to be in one of the neighborhoods. Some amazing food nearby (especially Kagura) and some easy locations for groceries. If we stay in Florence again, I'm going to see if this apartment is available.

Beautiful view within walking distance of city center

We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment. It was well furnished, the bed was super comfortable and the outdoor area was fantastic. The city center is an easy 20 minute walk, but the apartment itself is situated in a nice neighborhood with shops, restaurants, etc.. Would definitely stay here if we visit Florence again.
