The most amazing view of Florence from the rooftop terrace! The apartment was spacious (4 couples), very clean, was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Very close to the Ponte Vecchio, lots of great sights, shopping and restaurants!Check in was simple, Nina met us and explained everything, even checked on us during our stay.I would absolutely stay here again!One note, the building does not have an elevator.

I can't imagine a better view of Florence. It's mind-blowing! Combine that with a beautiful, spacious, well-appointed apartment and a gracious host, and it makes for a magical stay. The steps gave us pause when considering our options, but I'm so glad we didn't let that stop us. They are short flights and our group, age 29-63, managed without issue. 100% worth it for that view!

We loved the fantastic view of Firenze from the top patio. It was really special. That view comes with a cost (ie: climbing uphill and then 56 steps up to the 4th floor). But we quickly got used to it and considered it as the exercise we needed to work off some of the great food that we ate. This apartment is so close to all major downtown attractions and great restaurants. We would stay here again if we make it back to Firenze.

This is a one of a kind stay. The view is amazing, second to none. We were there is August and the air conditioning was fantastic and so cool. You will not get hot at this property. The property manager, Nina, is terrific. She met us at the home and was in contact with us all throughout our trip. She is a gem! Whenever we come back to Florence, this will be the only place we will stay. LOVE IT!

Stunning apartment with unparalleled views
The minute you walk into this apartment, you’ll not believe the breathtaking views. You will basically see all of Florence without any obstructions. There are four distinct outdoor spaces that offer these views.We had a family of ten staying here, and we were all incredibly comfortable. There are many different spaces, with ample room for gathering together. The appliances are top-notch, including what appears to be a fairly new (and top-of-line) washer and dryer. The bathrooms appear recently renovated.The walk up the hill to get to the apartment (in order to have these amazing views) can be a little hard after a long day of sight-seeing, but everyone in our group, including children and grandmother, were fine. The apartment is on the quieter side of the Arno, which is a nice change from the traffic and noise of a busy city. There is also a very good (and quite large by Florence standards) grocery store just a five minute walk away.The only downside to the apartment is that it is so wonderful, you actually don’t want to leave to explore the city!Special thanks to Nina, who was fantastic to work with - so communicative and helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay as wonderful as it was.

Spectacular View
Nina our host was so delightful and very helpful. Her Communication was always prompt. She provided contact details for wine tours, restaurants, supermarkets and gelato places. She also organised our taxis to the airport. Order these the day before in Florence as they can be hard to get on the day. The penthouse has awesome views of Florence. Especially good for sunset drinks. There is plenty of room to spread out. There is a hill to walk up from the main part of town and several flights of stairs without a lift. So not ideal for elderly people or people with medical conditions. The apartment says it’s recently renovated which refers to the bathrooms. Good central location.

We had an amazing stay. Our daughter got married in Florence and we stayed at Max‘s house. Nina was super accommodating and checked in with us regularly. The house was very comfortable and spacious and met our every need. The hell is steep and there are a lot of stairs, but we welcomed it as the view was so worth it and we needed to work off some of the amazing food we ate!!Very close to everything!!

The place is on top of a hill and 5 flights of stairs. However with the chair lift we did it with two 70 people and two babies. The view and the apartment and its decks are beautiful. Great location - the bottom of the hill has everything you could ask for! Would stay again :)

“A Magical Penthouse with Breathtaking Views of Florence”
Our stay in this beautiful penthouse apartment in Florence was truly unforgettable. Nestled in a peaceful neighborhood just steps away from the iconic Ponte Vecchio, this gem offered the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience. The panoramic views of Florence from the terrace were absolutely mesmerizing, providing a front-row seat to the city’s stunning skyline, including the Duomo and the Arno River. Inside, the apartment was spacious, tastefully decorated, and filled with natural light, making it feel like a home away from home. We loved the serenity of the location, yet everything we wanted to explore was just a short walk away. Whether enjoying morning coffee with a view or sipping wine as the sun set, this penthouse made our Florence experience truly magical. Highly recommend!

Perfect for our family and friends
This home was exactly as described. Home manager met us showed us around the home. She checked in with us several times, making sure we were comfortable and happy. She also warned us of a transportation strike so that we could pre-book our taxi to the train station. I highly recommend this property.
You do need to be quick fit to hike up the fairly steep street and stairs to the penthouse but the view is totally worth it!

Beautiful Views of Florence
Terrific property well located adjacent to Ponte Vecchio, and Boboli Gardens. Just as described with terrific views. The views require a daily or sometimes two or three times daily a good walk, and the residence is on the fourth floor without an elevator, so if walking and stair climbing are an issue, you may Walt to consider these challenges. Otherwise, everything was quite good!!!
