Spectacular
Wonderful property and location. It is located just over the bridge away from the middle of town and noise, but within walking distance of a grocery store, restaurants, and, of course, the museums and shopping. Our property manager Filippo was great and so helpful. The property was just as advertised, lots of room and two lovely balconies. We would definitely come back to stay next time we come to Florence.

Gorgeous Apartment - Great Host
We are a group of 4 adults who stayed for 5 nights at Filippo’s beautiful apartment in the Santo Spirito area of Florence. When we arrived, Filippo gave us a detailed tour, explaining how everything in the apartment worked, what sights to see, favorite places to eat, nearby grocery stores, etc. He could not have been more helpful or accommodating- even arranging a taxi for our return to the airport. The apartment is huge, the bedrooms large and comfortable. Lovely furniture and art, and well-equipped for everything one would need. The balconies were an added bonus. We all agreed that if we’re ever back in Florence, we would definitely stay here again! A true taste of renaissance Italy. Thank you, Filippo!

Large family trip
Loved this apartment. Plenty of space for our family of 10. Host was very helpful. The only downfall was the distance to the main attractions. With young kids, it was a long walk. Taxi's and Uber's are either hard to find or expensive. Would definitely stay here again.

Charming Property & Fabulous Host
I highly recommend considering this spacious, charming apartment if you’re visiting Venice. The apartment is absolutely huge and could easily accommodate a large family or group traveling together. There are several great restaurants close by, a great little café just across the street, and easy access to public transportation. Filippo is an amazing host and can give you so many suggestions about what to see and do.

A feeling of neighborhood in busy Florence, we were delighted with our stay. The location was a 20-30 minute walk or taxi ride to all sights, with a convenient grocery store right down the street.

Cozy Stay
I stayed here with my family and we each had our own space with a lot of room to get ready for the day. The terraces/balconies are beautiful and a great place to have your coffee or read a book. It helped that the city center was not a far walk either. Filippo was great with check-in, and made sure we had an itinerary for our week stay. We would come back again!!

FANTASTIC
I don’t have enough good things to say about our stay. The apartment itself is clean, huge, and so comfortable. We were a total of 7 people and we had a wonderful stay. The location is great as well. Easily walkable to the center of town - lovely walks along the river, wonderful full supermarket just across the street as well. Now to Filippo the host. So so wonderful. He was so nice and kind and helpful. Very helpful, gave many recommendations that we loved and was also very responsive. Great place for a group - if I come back to Florence I’ll certainly stay again.

VRBO location was fantastic. Filippo was a wonderful host and most helpful. The apartment was clean and roomy with all the amenities necessary for our family's comfort. Easy walk to local restaurants, but not too close to tourist destinations. When in Florence again we would definitely stay here.

We traveled with our elderly parents. The apartment was well equipped and decorated nicely. It is a busy street which we are not accustomed to and although the distances to city center are manageable for most people they were too long to walk for my parents. Fillipo was extremely helpful before our arrival and during our stay.
