Apartment "Donatello" WP Relais - Stay in the center of Florence

The apartment, located on the main floor of an ancient noble palace in the center of Florence, 7 minutes walk from the Duomo and the Ponte Vecchio, 1 minute from via Tornabuoni where the best high fashion boutiques are located, close to the main attractions artistic, the best shops and restaurants in the city.It can accommodate up to four people and is spread over two levels: the first consists of a living area with double sofa bed, bathroom with shower and fully equipped open kitchen. This area is illuminated by two sumptuous windows that give a touch of uniqueness to the apartment. The second level houses a double bedroom with king size bed whose walls are entirely frescoed and surmounted by a finely decorated wooden coffered ceiling. By far the most romantic apartment, ideal for couples. The idyllic atmosphere of this apartment culminates in the sleeping area thanks to the delicacy of the shades of the frescoed walls and the painted wooden ceilings depicting coats of arms, architectural elements and cherubs.
Splendid classic and antique luxury furnishings combined with contemporary works of art, warmth, color, state-of-the-art technological and domestic equipment, inside a centuries-old dwelling with beamed ceilings, wooden stairs, mezzanines, floors period.
Guests will be welcomed in our boutique, the Wpstore, located in the building next door which in practice is also our reception, where our staff will proceed to register passports before introducing you to the apartment, luggage storage service for arrivals before 'check-in time and for those who want to enjoy the city until the last before departure

Amazing stay!

The apartment is beautiful, spacious and in a great location. It's walking distance to everything but not too close to the noisy, crowded areas by the Duomo. Our host was very helpful and accommodating and informative. I would 100 percent recommend this apartment. We had a wonderful experience and anytime we had questions we were able to stop in next door where the host worked and ask questions, which he graciously answered. Loved this place!!!

Great spot!

We had a wonderful stay! The apartment is an adorable space. So charming and quaint, and located close to sites, restaurants, and stores. Very comfortable and spacious - the mattress was heavenly. We didn’t use the kitchen much, but it looked well outfitted. The stairs, which are described in the listing, would not be ideal for older folks, especially the historical flight of stairs in the unit. Street noise can be a little boisterous at night, but closing the shutters and wearing ear plugs did the trick. There is a little bustle here but we’d stay again - it’s worth it for the charming space and great location.

Lovely little space in the center of it all.

The loft was very convenient to all the sites of interest, very clean, and quite comfortable. Be aware of two things, not the “fault” of the rental: there are some stairs to climb, and the downside of it being central is that it’s loud. It took us a night to realize that we’d need earplugs. That’s just the price of being in a crowded tourist area and staying in a historic building. The apartment has the basic necessities, but it’s not a “full” apartment. You can’t cook a meal, but you can make coffee and wash your clothes— use the towel warmer to dry them faster. It was roomy, clean, and perfect for our needs.

Disliked: Check-in

Good for some, not for us.

There were unfortunate situations that impeded our stay. The check-in process was, unfortunately, very confusing, and after a nine hour flight and two hour train ride, hard to deal with. Again, unfortunately, when we got there, there was no running water (due to some work being done on the building, we were told), and the flights of stairs to the property and stairs to the master bedroom were, for all intents and purposes, very hard for us to maneuver. We would never have been able to negotiate those stairways numerous times each day. All in all, an unfortunate start to our stay in Italy. We decided not to stay at the property, and, to date, no consideration was given to any sort of partial refund for our inconvenience and disappointment in the property. We ended up at a four-star grand hotel (thank goodness they had a room) and this is what we will do for future stays. No more VRBO for us.

Great Florence Apartment!

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment! It was just a few minutes away from all the sites, but on a quiet street. We walked from the train station to the apartment and had quick access. We arrived before noon and was able to drop off all our bags and get the keys while they finished cleaning the space. The apartment was perfect for the two of us. Very clean and tidy. The huge bed was super comfy with brand new sheets. The small kitchen had everything we needed for our small meal prep. The living room and dining area were also great to sit and unwind after our full days in the wonderful city and countrysides! Amazing restaurants very close (recommend iL Lantini just around the corner! Amazing everything. Try the house wine!) The apartment is on the 2nd floor with stair access only which was no problem for us. I was captivated by the ceiling and wall frescos the entire time we stayed there. It was a great find and we were happy to call this place home with in Florence! Gaia was our host and was super helpful during our stay. Thank you Gaia. We look forward to the next time!

Wonderful hosts

Pietro & Gaia’s apartment is a gem. It is beautifully decorated (with amazing high ceilings), with all the amenities you might need and in a perfect location. You are literally 10 min walking distance from the station and all main attractions. In our case Davide helped us with check in, which was a breeze. Pietro & Gaia sent us a pdf with tons of information on places to eat and grocery shopping in the neighborhood. The apartment is well equipped, with a spacious bathroom. For our family this worked perfectly. I highly recommend the apartment. Grazie Pietro & Gaia.

Wonderful apartment in a fantastic location. The apartment is cozy and well stocked for a great stay. We had a wonderful stay. Our only suggestion would be to label the keys and to be more clear on checking in for people who arrive later in the evening.

Beautiful, comfortable, super safe, well equipped apartment in a great location!

We loved our stay at Palazzo Strozzi! It's beautiful, comfortable & a few minutes walk to all of the sites in Florence. There's great shopping, restaurants & a farmacia on the street and a great little grocery only a block away! Gaia was a fantastic hostess. Very prompt with communication & super helpful too. She called us a cab for the airport & it went super smoothly. We would highly recommend staying here & will stay here again when we come back to beautiful Firenze. Grazie Gaia!

Wonderful, helpful hosts

Unfortunately, my travel plans changed (twice) during the period when I had hoped to stay at this beautiful apartment. Pietro was very understanding and helpful, including when I ultimately had to cancel my reservation after my trip was cancelled. I hope to have the opportunity to visit Florence in the future and to stay in this apartment then.
