LA LIMONAIA - CASA RABATTI 1823 - THE GARDEN IN THE HEART OF FLORENCE

Patricia and Sergio are very kind. It's a sanctuary in the heart of the extremely busy, touristy, and sometimes overwhelming city center. Every time I walked in the door, I felt a sense of security and safety. The garden is wonderful, with a lemon tree right outside the door. It brings pure joy every day. I appreciate the fact that Patricia made sure that I had enough clean towels, which is very important in summer! Also it’s a blessing to have the air con in the room!!! Summer in Florence is hot!!! I stayed for a month, and by the time I left, i didn’t keep everything as clean as when I first arrived. If the hosts don't mind me staying again, I would definitely come back. Thank you so much for making my time in Firenze so comfortable and wonderful

We were guests at La Limonaia for 4 weeks, and found it to be the perfect spot for our stay. The apartment was spotless, and clean linens were provided each week. The location was ideal. We were just blocks away from the more touristy area of the city, so walking everywhere was easy, but the way the apartment is nestled within the city block it was very peaceful. The courtyard garden was a perfect respite for us after busy days. We took many day trips during our stay and both train station and bus stop were an easy walk. Sergio and Patricia were helpful with suggestions for events and places to explore we otherwise would have missed. We did some cooking and found everything we needed was provided. It is no surprise to us that they have such high reviews, after staying for a month we agree with them! This was the perfect place for us to call home during our time in Florence, and hopefully one day we'll be back!

Sergio was there to accommodate and meet us much earlier than planned due to train issues. He quickly helped us get situated with local grocery and restaurant options. It is in a bustling area and yet had peaceful solitude we needed after long fun filled days in Florence and nearby excursions. It felt like a home and had all the amenities we needed to keep us ready for our active schedule. So pleased we stayed with them in Florence.

We had a lovely stay in the La Limonaia garden apartment. The property managers were very friendly and very helpful and always happy to answer queries. The apartment was very well equipped and very clean. It was in a good location and very secure. The garden was a lovely safe and quiet haven to relax in. We loved our stay there.

We had an outstanding experience from beginning to end! Sergio responded timely to all of our questions prior to our visit, and the check in/check out process was very efficient. He met us as soon as we arrived, and the unit was clean, it was consistent with what was presented, and it was perfect for us! The unit was within walking distance of everything that we wanted to see in Florence for the month that we stayed! And, we highly recommend this unit to future guests! Thanks again, Sergio!

There is not enough room for me to express how very happy I was with my stay at Casa Rabatti! First, the accommodations were simply beautiful. I actually used the kitchen to cook a couple of meals for myself and found everything I needed! Second, the apartment is located in a perfect area to walk everywhere. And finally, the hosts, Sergio and Patrizia, are so warm and friendly, and I must say that I find myself missing them now that I am home. They are beautiful, kind people. If you want a comfortable, cozy place to stay, this is the place for you. In fact, I would love to have these wonderful people visit me here in the United States as MY guests!!!!

Sergio and his wife are absolutely wonderful! They welcomed us with open arms to Florence and made our stay so comfortable. Anything we needed they were available and provided quickly. The garden is an absolute oasis and is beautiful. They let us use the lemons and herbs from the garden to make drinks or cook with. The apartment is very simple with few decorations but is everything you need for a stay in a great location in Florence. We hope to return!

Sergio and his wife were great hosts. Apartment was as described and very comfortable. Great location in the city of the beaten tourist path but only, a 4 minute walk to the Central Market

La Limonaia is a renovated outbuilding in a Florence courtyard. (A Limonaia is a building for housing lemon trees through the winter.) It is beautifully designed, with a small full kitchen, comfortable bathroom, and spacious loft bedroom. The utilities (hot water, heat, A/C) were great. There is a covered seating area in the courtyard that is very pleasant, even in cooler weather. The hosts, Sergio and Patrizia, are attentive, helpful, relaxed, and very friendly. The apartment is in easy walking distance of all major cultural sites. It's two blocks north of the Mercato Centrale and there are easily 3 good supermarkets within 4 blocks. Restaurants, bars, tobacconists, etc. are all easy to find. We stayed eight weeks and it was wonderful.

My husband and I spent 4 days in Florence in September. Serge was the best host. He greeted us and took us for a tour of the property. The room was very clean and spacious. The terrace was a lovely added bonus. The location of the property was perfect. Serge was the best host and we really enjoyed our time in Florence. I highly recommend booking this space for your visit.

This property is in fact a little house, set inside a lovely courtyard. The bedroom is upstairs in a loft. The decor is charming. The owners are so friendly and helpful. The location is quiet and private, yet just a few blocks away from the Mercato Centrale and all the nearby trattorias. I will definitely return and recommend this place to others.
