Romantic view of the Royal Ditch

A beautiful historic property with a stunning view of one of Livorno’s canals. Don’t be put off by the English translation, Royal Ditch! We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony watching the boat action. The flat has air conditioning which was a god send as the temperature rose to 36c during the day. We hired a car (the flat has a parking space in a secure parking lot 2 minutes walk away).Pisa and Volterra were easily accessible and worth a visit. On several days we also travelled a little further (50 minutes) to the free sandy beaches near San Vincenzo (Parco Costiero di Rimigliano) which were beautiful. The sunset from the Terrazza Mascagni was stunning. Our favourite restaurants were in the Little Venice area but we also ate in using the flat’s facilities. Suzanne was an amazingly helpful host. She met us on arrival, gave us loads of advice and continued to do so on WhatsApp throughout our stay. Thank you, Suzanne. The flat was perfect as a city base. Livorno is full of character and charm and not so touristy as the other Tuscan cities. We found the people really friendly.

This is a beautiful apartment with an amazing view of the canal. Everything we needed was there and dealing with the owners was a pleasure. Would love to return one day.

I’m in love with this apartment. Old stone floors, arched ceilings, big sunny windowed doors out to a roomy balcony over the water- I’m totally charmed. A perfect retreat for two with all the modern convenients

Very nice and spacious apartment in an excellent location. We enjoyed watching the boating activity from the balcony. The accomodation had everything we needed and the host couldn't have been more helpful. She went the extra distance to make our stay special.

The apartment had everting we needed for our stay. The location was excellent - close to restaurants, the fabulous Market Hall, and the port and sea front. The balcony made the location by the canal very special - lovely to sit out and relax with a coffee or a glass of wine. Our host went out of his way to make us welcome and couldn’t have been more helpful. I’d highly recommend this apartment and a visit to Livorno.

The hosts for this apartment went above and beyond to make our stay great! The apartment itself is an amazing architectural structure. The location was wonderful- close to everything yet quiet. I highly recommend visiting Livorno and a stay here in this unique apartment. Many thanks!

We loved our four day stay in Roberto‘s and Suzanne’s beautiful apartment! Even better than expected… cozy sitting high quality design and well equipped. Great communication with owners, location can’t be beat just a short walk to the beautiful Mercato Centale and the little Venice area. The hosts were wonderful, with good recommendations-and even gifted us local white wine to enjoy on the terrace overlooking the canal and some yummy Olive oil. A fun romantic stay!

We had a wonderfull week in this appartment in Livorno and were very hospitably welcomed by Susanna. It is beautifully situated near the channel in the center of Livorno and is fully equipped with al very nice balcony. It is easy to travel (by train) to Pisa, Florence, Cinque Terre and Lucca. So highly recommended!! Thank you Susanne!!! Greetings Paul en Marion Janssen

I was very pleased with this apartment and would happily stay there again. It has all the essentials you hope will be just right in a rental - spotless, good lighting, good water pressure and plenty of hot water, many electric outlets for recharging all your devices, comfortable bed and plenty of space to unpack all your belongings. There are supermarkets and restaurants walkable in every direction but the best, Mercato Centrale is just two blocks away. Bus stops at nearby Piazza Republican make sites accessible but this is a very walkable town. The view from the apartment is peaceful and a glass of wine on the balcony relaxing. Susanne and Roberto are wonderful hosts. This is the place to stay in Livorno!
