About this property

Heart of Florence!!Penthouse with Terrace,Lift,breathtaking Views,near the Duomo

Get the feeling of touching the magnificent Dome!!Charming, bright and very peaceful penthouse (1100 square feet) with incredible 360 degrees views over the main monuments, Duomo, the Palazzo Vecchio, Orsanmichele, and even distant San Miniato and Forte Belvedere! The apartment has been furnished with italian,Tuscan style and finely finished. The apartment featuring terracotta flooring and beamed high roof has two spacious bedrooms, each with its attached bathroom: one bedroom-with double bed plus single bed- is large and homey, offering nice view over Giotto Belltower and Duomo's Dome. Other one offers a romantic breathtaking view of Duomo's Dome; set between the two rooms, a large,spacious living room-provided with modern fully equipped kitchen- which leads out to a private terrace with incredible views onto the roofs, highest towers of the City and over the beautiful Hills;sun will shine on the terrace from 9/10 o'clock onwards, making the living area (through 4 large windows) very bright and airy.
You benefit from a lovely private terrace where you can either get good tan,have a lovely italian meal or more simply sip a tasty chilled limoncello in the eve with staggering lights of Florence right before your eyes!! It is set on the top floor of an elegant palace literally a stone's throw from the Duomo.There's also a lift so you do not have to worry carrying luggage up the stairs.

Amazing Month-long Stay!

The location of this villa could not be better! Right next to the Duomo with some views of the cupola and Giotto tower. Three retired gals from Florida spent a month here, touring Italy and of course, diving into Firenze. We trained to Pompeii/Sorrento/Amalfi/Capri, Siena, Venice, Cinque Terre and San Gimignano. Hiked in Cinque Terre and up to the Piazzale Michelangelo. We enjoyed wonderful meals and celebrations (at Trattoria Za-Za, Gilli's, Caffe Concerto Paszkowski, Mercato Centrale, and restaurants right on the same street as our villa), museums, wine tours, a cooking class with Walk-About Tours, opera and Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Marco was the best and most attentive host ever. Super responsive and truly a kind person. The villa has an old-Florence feel and met our needs...we especially loved the outdoor rooftop terrace. I lived in Florence for a year in 2015/16 and come back every few years. Would definitely stay here again when we have 3-4 folks to share this larger space. Kudos to Marco and everything Florence!

A beautiful place in a perfect location.

A great property in an old style apartment in the heart of Florence. Marco was an awesome host! His communication and planning was great. We forget something at the apartment and he contacted us and met up with us to return. The views were awesome from the apartment windows, skylight, and walk out patio. The walkout patio really made the place which seems to be pretty rare as many of the other listings that I reviewed did not have a balcony or patio. The apartment was extremely clean and had all of the amenities. Marco even left us wine and treats to enjoy during our stay. When I return to Florence, I will definitely rebook this apartment. A great family experience. Thanks again Marco for making this a memorable trip for me and my family. Ciao!

Best location and great experience

Location location location. Wow. Just a couple blocks away from the city duomo with all the benefits of being within walking distance of nearly everything. Just 10-15 minutes from train station. A few easy steps up and a lift gets you and your luggage all the way up. Nice patio and multiple windows with great views. 2 1/2 bathrooms let Spouse and I have our own sink. Washing machine and with multiple heaters let us stay here a week. Great experience. Only drawback was the mattress wasn’t the best we’ve had which meant some tossing and turning during sleep.

For our adventure, it was perfect

We thought the space was much bigger than the pictures showed. It's sort of an eclectic space with the second bedroom down a short couple steps with a low doorway. That was no big deal to us... and the views from every window were of an iconic piece of history... the duomo right out the bedroom wind the Palazzo Vecchio off the back deck. It wasn't noisy considering how close it was to main tourist attractions. It's centrally located we walked from the train station... Over all it was a great place to experience Florence for us. Lastly, the A/C worked great and kept us quite comfortable. We'll try to stay here again for sure.

The perfect place in Florence!!

This property was even better than expected. Marco was a wonderful host and provided us with so much info. He helped us when the airline lost a bag. He made sure we had the right number to call to find out about it .The apartment was very quiet, which is hard to find in Florence especially this close to the Duomo. It was very clean and Marco left us 2 bottles of wine and some snacks, also all the essentials. Would stay here again if we return to Florence. Don't hesitate to rent this apartment!!

Great apartment and host!

Apartment was old school Italy. Very quaint and comfortable with a very nice terrace. Lower bedroom has low ceiling clearance so be careful of ceiling beams . All the varied plates and other kitchen utensils you could need. Location perfect. Washer came in handy but you need to air dry whatever you wash on terrace or in apartment. Marco the host amazing with communication and any needs when staying at apartment. Overall a great place to stay when visiting Florence. Thanks Marco.

Great apartment in Florence

It was a wonderful stay at Florence. The apartment with it's terrace and the great view on all the historic buildings especially the 'Duomo' and the 'Campanile' is very special. And while staying here we have had a very friendly host: Marco. He'll help whenever help is necessary. He explains everything. He is just 'molto simpatico'.

Just Heavenly!

I can't say enough about this lovely apartment! Centrally located but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the city center with a very nice store right around the corner for convenience. We felt like we were in a traditional Italian flat with the wood beams in the ceiling, the tiles, the furniture and decorations. The patio was amazing with the views and sitting there listening to the church bells was something I will never forget! The view of the Duomo dome right outside the window while I put on my makeup could not be beat! Marco was so warm and friendly it felt like we were with a friend! He made sure we had everything we needed to ensure a great time. He even had a couple of bottles of wine and some cookies upon check in! I would highly recommend this very lovely apartment and I will definitely stay again if I'm lucky enough to visit Firenze again! Grazie Mille, Marco! Ciao my friend! Kathy

Great location!

This was a great location you can walk almost everywhere. Marco could not have been nicer. He had a bottle of wine and cookies there for us, and provided several great restaurant suggestions. Loved having a rooftop to sit outside and have a glass of wine. FYI, if you have a car, be aware that this location is in the ZTL zone. (Limited Traffic Zone). If you have car, make arrangements to park at a garage, as you will not be able to drive to the location.

The perfect villa in the perfect location of Florence

The perfect villa in the perfect location of Florence. The Villa was absolutely magnifico! Marco, the owner was exceptional! Marco helped us in so many aspects of our trip! Transportation, dining, and anything else we had questions about. Marco was amazing and so was his villa. His villa was a couple streets away from the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. A magnificent structure! And his villa was situated where you had a view of the dome On the church. It looked like you could touch it From the window. The statue David as well as the Uffizi museum could be easily walk to from his villa. The restaurants Marco suggested were exquisite!! I would strongly recommend this Villa to anyone making a visit to Florence Italy.
