A wooden staircase leads to the upper level, where there are two bedrooms, decorated in delicate shades of sage and bright yellow, each with a unique atmosphere. Two large windows offer a view of the charming streets of the city centre, highlighting the coffered ceiling with shades of blue, typical of late 17th-century Florence.

Location cannot be beat

An excellent location, first and foremost. A beautiful building as well; we loved falling asleep looking up at the ceiling frescos. Clean, quiet despite the busy street downstairs, and perfect for a family of 3 adults. Bonus points for 2 hairdryers! Just caution to those who are not able to handle stairs- it’s a long stairwell up and the stairs within the apartment are not for the faint of heart. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great stay

Great location. 10 minute or less stroll to everything you want to see in Florence. Nice place. Ceilings are amazing! Only thing not expected was the 2 bedrooms are open to the floor below like a loft. But we adapted, no big concern! Host was great. Quickly in touch whenever we had questions.

Wonderful home away from home in the heart of Florence!

This was my second time at this amazing place! It is spacious, perfectly located and the coffered ceilings and amazing architecture is a truly unique experience. Plenty of hot water and luxurious towels and extremely comfortable beds! Our hosts were very easy to reach and lovely to communicate with. We highly recommend this for a family stay.

Perfect Place and perfect location

This was a place to come back after a busy day of touring. It was great to have an apartment that made you feel like home. It is beautiful and the communication with Gaia and the crew where excellent and and very accommodating. The amenities are awesome and cafe right around the corner was awesome for breakfast. It made for a wonderful visit, and we would definitely stay in this gem again.

A Lovely Apartment in an Excellent Location

We loved the authentically Florentine feel of this place. It was spacious with big windows, great height (that stunning ceiling); the loft bedrooms only enhanced the sense of space. Our late check-in was smooth and simple with digital entry and clear instructions sent prior to arrival. We enjoyed a very comfortable stay within walking distance of everything we’d hoped to see. Would certainly recommend to friends and family.

Nice home base

The location cannot be beat—easy walking to the Uffizi, etc. And the check in process went very smoothly even though we arrived late at night. The flat itself has some drawbacks; the interior is rather dark (as in, poorly lit), and the bathrooms look like they need a deep cleaning and some grout.

Authentic!

It is in a great location in Florence. Loved the cozy feel of the flat. decor and remodel made it feel like we were at a friends home. Some noise from the streets until late hours but drinking wine helped tune it out. Would recommend it to friends for sure. So clean and owners were accessible for help if we needed them.

Perfect spot for a 5-6 people!

We loved everything about this place - great location, outstanding architecture and a very easy experience. It worked well for our family, including our three daughters: 23, 20 and 18. Word of advice - bring some additional shampoo and soap if you are staying for more than a day or so. Also, there is no clothes dryer in the unit, but they do have a large drying rack which worked well. Thanks again for a great experience!

Beautifully designed and well maintained. Best vacation rental we have stayed in.

Tips: There is one flight of stairs to get to the apartment and there is an interior stair up to the loft. The bedrooms are on the loft level and open to below. The house numbers on the street are not in sequence, so the address will not show up in the exact location on google maps.

Charming in a Perfect Location

Our stay was absolutely lovely I this apartment. It is spacious and has everything you need for a family. There is no lift but taking the stairs with luggage was not a problem. It is spacious and well kept. Stefano who manages the apartment was extremely helpful whenever we needed him. You will be very close to many delicious restaurants and cafes. There is a pharmacy right down the street for anything you may need. We will definitely be back. Thank you again for a beautiful stay.

Everything about this apartment was perfect.

I travel a lot and rarely do reviews, but feel I need to share this information. First, I like renting properties that are not occupied by the owners. They are free of personal items and are clutter free. This is one of those great finds! It has a large comfortable living area, two large full baths and 2 bedrooms. Nice large closets. And the most beautiful carved ceiling. The location is perfect, walkable to everything. Communication with owner was great. I would stay here again.

Outstanding location,very safe and central area,great hosts!

This was our first VRBO experience - how lucky we were! Stefano waited patiently for us (in constant contact) when we arrived 2 hrs later than originally agreed. He was full of smiles and carried our bags for us.The apartment is just as described - it is absolutely beautiful and the location perfect... in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Florence. It isn't just clean its immaculate. All the major attractions within easy walking distance And Gaias restaurant recommendations were all excellent. I could go on and on - our trip was superb in every way and exceeded our expectations. Thank you Gaia I hope we can come back one day!

Excellent location in a large open loft apartment

This location can’t be beat, akin to staying on Madison Avenue in NYC above the high end stores . The apartment was large and open and in an older building. We were surprised to learn that the two bedrooms upstairs did not have full walls , so there was not a lot of privacy or quiet as a result . This ended up being fine for us , but should be noted in the description. The unit was very clean but in my opinion could use some updating. The property manager was responsive and lovely to deal with . Overall it was wonderful and we would definitely recommended .

Lovely apartment

We have stayed in many VRBO's and this was a winner. Lovely old Florentine building and lovely decor. Incredibly spacious, especially just for two of us. Huge windows that open to the street (though the street was quite noisy during the day as some people have mentioned in other reviews). Our only quibble, and it is minor, is that the kitchen cabinets and bedroom dressers, because they are old, "stuck" quite a lot upon opening. They could use some upgrade. But, again, this was minor, and we really did love the apartment. Also, the location was outstanding, just a short walk to the major sites. Try Gelateria Carraia at the opposite end of the nearby Ponte Carraia, also I Parione, at the bottom of the building.

Beautiful Old Apartment with Character

I fell in love with the "old world" feel of this apartment and the way it was decorated. I had read reviews about the sewer smell (some mentioned it and others didn't). The sewer smell was definitely in the stairwell and hallway but luckily not the apartment. The description says that 6 people could fit but I would stick to a max of 4. One of the sofas was turned into a twin bed which left a very old, uncomfortable couch and a small chair for seating (as well as the kitchen table). We loved having 2 full bathrooms for 5 people. There are no instructions for running the dishwasher and washer/dryer unit. Never did figure out the dryer! While the location is great in terms of restaurants, shopping and attractions, it was very noisy. There is a bus stop just below the window outside and the busses run often. The owners were so responsive and any questions were answered right away. Overall it was a nice stay and we loved our time in Florence! What a gorgeous city!

BEWARE. Do not stay here.

I stayed at the property from April 19th - April 23rd 2022. To say we were disappointed would be an understatement. I was travelling with my husband and four children (ages 11, 10, 9, and 7). The location of the property is as described. It is very close to the Ponte Vecchio, and walking distance to many of the main sites of Florence. The apartment itself was just horrible. The bathrooms were beyond disgusting (see photos), and there was black mold growing above the windows in the main living space (see photos). On the first night, we attempted to make dinner for our family. Note that the kitchen does not have an oven, only a microwave and a stovetop. We tried to boil water to make pasta, but the stovetop would not function. I contacted the owner, and did not hear back until the next day. She said they sent someone over to fix it, and that a "switch" was flipped from the renters before us. In short, she blamed someone else for the problem. We again attempted to make dinner for our family. The cooktop still did not work. I reached out several times to the owner before she responded and said they would send someone to fix it. She then told me that they had just purchased this new stovetop (a very different story from the "switch" that was flipped by the previous renters). A man came to fix the stovetop that evening. When he was there, the power went off to the entire building twice. After he left, the power went off to the entire building again. All as a result of this "new" cooktop. Needless to say, we were never able to cook a meal and two of our evenings were ruined. We were also out our grocery bills.....plus the meals we had to go find for our family of six when the kitchen did not function as promised. When I addressed the filthy bathrooms and the mold in the apartment, Gaia (the owner), told me that the apartment was just "old". If you look at the photos, you can see that the showers are actually newer. They are inserts that are absolutely not original to the apartment. Also, old things can be cleaned. These bathrooms were covered in mold and dirt. Gaia assured me via text message that I would be reimbursed for the trouble we had at her property. To date, I have yet to see any reimbursement, and every time I contact her she has some excuse as to why it has not been processed. In short, I have stayed at hostiles that were nicer than this. Do not stay here-- or at any property managed by Gaia.

Florence for Foodies

Our stay in Florence was spectacular. This apartment was centrally located and we were able to walk and see everything we wanted to see. There were some terrific restaurants only steps away! The apartment is quite old and was not great for older adults (we are all in our 70s). There are two flights of stairs up to the apartment and, once inside, the stairs to the bedrooms are very old and require extra caution going up and down. The upstairs shower did not drain well, and you had to turn the water on and off in short bursts in order to avoid flooding the floor. Other than that, the beds were comfortable, and the apartment was adequately stocked for four people. Be aware that, if traveling with friends, the bedrooms are not very private. They are both lofts and the walls do not reach the ceiling.

Great location in a fabulous city. we walked everywhere.... The unit was clean... a little dark....could use a little more lighting but that is probably a problem anywhere in a medieval city....pack lightly as you have to go up stairs...and it is like that in most vrbos in the area. easy to communicate with....overall...we enjoyed every minute.
