The elegance in the heart of Florence

Large, well equipped property. In excellent location.

Very friendly host. Great quiet location.

The host was very courteous and responsive. He met me at the property for entrance. It was a little cold for our taste, but that is more common in Europe. One thing we would have loved is a place to sit and read or talk. The lighting was very low in the apt. Otherwise, comfortable beds, great location and good host.

Riccardo was very welcoming. Apartment was exactly as depicted in VRBO advertisement.

Many wonderful things about this apartment:- pretty apartment, really nice size- very easy early check in - wonderful property manager- provided good recommendations for local restaurants - close to the market and train station- walkable but not close to tourist attractions; this made for long walks home at night after very long days; advise to learn about public transportation options/taxis before arriving- well appointed Only drawback:- The listing does not note that only the bedrooms are air conditioned. We were in Florence with temps in the high 90s and so really unable to use the kitchen and living area. That was disappointing, as those spaces were quite lovely.

Very nice. We could have used a little AC in the living room area but overall Highly recommended.

Riccardo let us check in early so we didn’t have to drag our luggage around on our first day! The apartment was very roomy and nicely appointed. The location is so convenient to SMN station and the Duomo complex! The antique furniture was comfortable and inviting. The large windows were so romantic, though there’s not really a view. Still, the breezes were wonderful and there were both Italian and American coffee makers! We enjoyed both!

The apartment is spacious and clean. It is a short walk to the train station and within walking distance of many shops, restaurants, neighborhoods and historic sights. The pictures are a good representation of how the apartment really looks. Riccardo met us at the apartment and showed us around and answered any questions we had…easy check in.

Had a lovely stay in “Violet’s House”, so pretty & spacious. Kitchen well equipped. Short distance to train station & within walking distance to most of the sights.

Lovely apartment, great location and Riccardo welcoming and easy to communicate with.

The VRBO was a great location and very clean. Ricardo was great in communication!

We stayed here for a week during spring break and had a wonderful time. The apartment is so close to the train station and many cute restaurants and coffee shops. The beds were so comfortable! That is always my biggest worry but thankfully they were perfect.

We had an enjoyable time at the apartment. Almost everything we wanted to do was within walking distance. Our flight came in early, we were able to check in early. Would recommend this place to stay!

Host was very nice and the location was great!

Beautiful accommodations, close to city centre & sites, very clean!! Would stay here again!!

The property is beautiful and well appointed with modern bathrooms. Be prepared for a lot of stairs (from the lobby, up two levels and from the lower floor with the bedrooms/game room/one bathroom and the upper floor with kitchen/family room/gorgeous patio/2nd bathroom). There are groceries and restaurants within walking distance (3-7 blocks) and the bus stop on Corso Gelone can get you quickly to Ortigia.

We booked in June for late September stay. Fully paid and confirmed in early September. Arrived in Florence and took tram to apt and at 3pm, when should be meeting to get into the apt, we got message from him saying he overbooked and would refund us but had no place to stay for 3 days. Tried calling number listed in booking which was his mother and she gave us his number, we called him but he never responded. After numerous messages we are still trying to get full refund from Riccardo. Avoid this place .

Everything about the place! Location, cleanliness, and especially the host Great job !

The apartment is central to everything! Thank goodness for AC as Florence was HOT during our visit! The apartment was clean, easy to find, and host was great! Public transportation was so accessible! We even took train to Pisa for the day it was a great stay! Thank you for everything

First of all, we fell in love with this apartment upon viewing it with all of its lovely lavender accents and cute details. We were actually looking at hotels as well and my daughter preferred this apartment. It worked out great for the three of us she was able to have her own room; we appreciated the air conditioning in both rooms. As most reviewers have mentioned, it is in a great location. You can walk to anywhere in Florence within 10 to 20 minutes. We also really loved that it was off the beaten path just A hair so you felt like you could get a little bit of a respite. Bathroom facilities were in great working order and comfortable. Nice shower, nice tub. The beds were comfortable and I slept well on it from the first night. The instructions upon check-in were easy and Ricardo met us at the door brought us and Scheidt and got us situated. Communications were easy until then and Ricardo was extremely responsive. I thought there were no surprises here. I had read all the reviews and was even a little bit nervous as I had never done Vrbo overseas… But it couldn’t have been better!

Everything you would want in a VRBO! Clean, roomy, nicely decorated and good communication with owner.

We were four ladies traveling together and this apartment was perfect for us. The neighborhood was quiet and on the edge of the busier tourist areas. Major sites were in walking distance. There were wonderful restaurant’s just down the street. The apartment was clean and well equipped. Our host Ricardo met us at check in and reviewed details of the apartment with us. Our stay was delightful. If I returned to Florence, I would definitely stay there again.

Stayed 3 nights. Comfortable beds, clean apartment. Highly recommended if you need accommodation near the train station. Attentive host and bottle of wine included!

Riccardo was an exceptional host! He was a great communicator leading up to trip, met us at apartment, giving excellent instructions, and throughout our trip. The apartment is beautiful and even more spacious in person. It has everything you need and so close to great coffee shops, restaurants, and attractions. I would highly recommend this apartment for a wonderful holiday!!
