Chez Geraldine- Charming Rooftop Apartment in Florence

Better than the pictures. The hosts were amazing, the place is awesome, everything was spotless. We enjoyed every minute of it.

My family and I have been a customer of VRBO for more than 10 years. This is the best experience we have ever had. The apartment is spectacular - Geraldine is an architect and it clearly shows, particularly with her very cool rooftop kitchen and deck with 360 degree views of Florence. Geraldine and Nicolla could not have been nicer and more accommodating. They left us some basics so we did not have to immediately go look for a market and Nicolla was a god send in terms of recommendations on restaurants and places to visit. The apartment is a 15 minute walk to all the major Florence sites. I could not recommend this apartment higher. We will absolutely come back the next time we are in Florence and encourage all of our friends to do the same.

We loved our stay here. The top floor has a beautiful terrace to enjoy amazing views of Florence and Fiesole. The hospitality was amazing. A special thank you to Niccolo for helping us with transportation, advice and recommendations. There is a grocery store and a charming park nearby. We walked to all the major sites. We also met the owner who was kind and gracious. We loved everything about it!

Stunning apartment, spacious and located within a 30 minute walk of anything you might want to do in Florence. Geraldine is a charming, delightful, gracious host. All of her recommendations were excellent. We cherish our time in Florence and look forward to returning for another stay with Geraldine.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Geraldine’s beautiful home. Fantastic location in a quiet neighborhood. The views from the terrace are unmatched and everything you need is provided for a perfect stay in Florence!. Plus there’s a great Tatoo parlor right next door !

Geraldine is a treat! Her apartment is beautiful, comfortable and very well located. We couldn't have asked for more.

This was probably the nicest VRBO experience we have ever had. Geraldine met my husband and I at the door and graciously oriented us to the apartment and the city. She was very generous with her time and recommended a number of restaurants to us, all good experiences. The apartment is very nicely appointed with Geraldine's artwork and books. It was also very clean and with the two bedrooms had more than enough space for the two of us. The rooftop kitchen and terrace are truly unique and gives you a breathtaking bird's eye view of Florence. Unfortunately, there was no washing machine, although Niccolo, Geraldine's associate offered to have laundry done for us. We ended up going to a local laundromat, which was just a few blocks away, which was fine. All in all, I would recommend this listing to anyone. It's a little out of the center of the city in a more residential area, and therefore not too crowded and busy. We were able to park our rented car on the street nearby. We also liked the location because it allowed us to get a better feel for what it's like to be a resident of the city.

This apartment was even better than the pictures. Spacious and well appointed and conveniently located. The terrace was amazing. Geraldine and Nicollo were friendly helpful and informative. Best place we stayed in Europe.

Geraldine and her co-host Niccolo were so helpful from the minute we arranged the booking until the minute we left. Far and beyond what I would expect a host to do. The apartment is truly beautiful. The decoration faultless. Beds are very comfortable and the bathroom and shower perfect. The crowning glory is the fantastic kitchen and roof terrace. The view across Florence and up into the hills is lovely. We sat up there lastnight and had our evening meal in the sunset. This place is another of Florences treasures. We will definitely be coming back and look forward to staying here again. Thank you so much Geraldine and Niccolo. Love from Rita, Mike, Anne and Jim. (Liverpool UK. June 2018)

Geraldine’s rooftop apartment was even more beautiful in person. Rooftop patio was perfect for relaxing. Bedrooms were very comfortable. Nicest place I’ve ever stayed. I can’t wait to go back. No complaints at all.
