Gorgeous Apartment - Great Host
We are a group of 4 adults who stayed for 5 nights at Filippo’s beautiful apartment in the Santo Spirito area of Florence. When we arrived, Filippo gave us a detailed tour, explaining how everything in the apartment worked, what sights to see, favorite places to eat, nearby grocery stores, etc. He could not have been more helpful or accommodating- even arranging a taxi for our return to the airport. The apartment is huge, the bedrooms large and comfortable. Lovely furniture and art, and well-equipped for everything one would need. The balconies were an added bonus. We all agreed that if we’re ever back in Florence, we would definitely stay here again! A true taste of renaissance Italy. Thank you, Filippo!

Spectacular
Wonderful property and location. It is located just over the bridge away from the middle of town and noise, but within walking distance of a grocery store, restaurants, and, of course, the museums and shopping. Our property manager Filippo was great and so helpful. The property was just as advertised, lots of room and two lovely balconies. We would definitely come back to stay next time we come to Florence.

FANTASTIC
I don’t have enough good things to say about our stay. The apartment itself is clean, huge, and so comfortable. We were a total of 7 people and we had a wonderful stay. The location is great as well. Easily walkable to the center of town - lovely walks along the river, wonderful full supermarket just across the street as well. Now to Filippo the host. So so wonderful. He was so nice and kind and helpful. Very helpful, gave many recommendations that we loved and was also very responsive. Great place for a group - if I come back to Florence I’ll certainly stay again.

Great work trip!
Filippo was am amazing host. We traveled with a group of women for work and fun. Filippo helped us call cabs throughout our trip via a messages on whats app and gaves us tons of local stores, cafes to get food etc. The apartment is huge. Great for a large group. AC in the living room is not too cold but in Florence this is normal in the summer. AC is the bedrooms was great. Also the apartment is a little far from the center so you must take car, train or bus to get to the center of Florence. On a nice Spring day you can walk if you like walking:) safe beautiful neighborhood. Thank you Filippo!

Enjoyable family stay
This is a great value place. The location is perfect. It is close to everything but in a quiet, easy to access spot. There is a supermarket extremely close and You can easily walk or take the bus everywhere. Filippo, the owner, is a great communicator and very supportive for anything you might need with respect to your stay or information about Florence. It was terrific for our family group of nine. Plenty of room and a great dining room table where we had a delicious homemade meal acquired from the supermarket. We also enjoyed the best pizza ever from a recommendation Filippo gave us for our second dinner. This is a terrific place if you're looking for overall value.

Great apartment for a large family
Filippo met us at the apartment and provided many suggestions for restaurants, sightseeing spots and where to get public transportation. He even arranged taxis on two separate occasions. The apartment is so spacious that 6 adults and 3 teenagers fit very comfortably. We got some rain and appreciated umbrellas were available to use. When one of the bedrooms AC was not working well we contacted Filippo and he responded very quickly to provide assistance. It was great having a grocery store less than a block away. The building is quiet; on a busy street so you hear some traffic noise with windows open. Filippo is a great host! I would stay here again.

Phillipo was an excellent host. He was at the apartment on our arrival and is warm and friendly. Phillipo pointed out areas of interest in Florence on the map and sent through a significant amount of Information on where to eat, transport options and important sites to see. We loved our time in Florence because of the information he provided and his willingness to go above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Thank you Phillipo for your help and arranging our taxi’s upon departure. We hope to visit Florence again and stay at your apartment.

Loved this apartment. Plenty of space for our family of 10. Host was very helpful. The only downfall was the distance to the main attractions. With young kids, it was a long walk. Taxi's and Uber's are either hard to find or expensive. Would definitely stay here again.

We traveled with our elderly parents. The apartment was well equipped and decorated nicely. It is a busy street which we are not accustomed to and although the distances to city center are manageable for most people they were too long to walk for my parents. Fillipo was extremely helpful before our arrival and during our stay.

I highly recommend considering this spacious, charming apartment if you’re visiting Venice. The apartment is absolutely huge and could easily accommodate a large family or group traveling together. There are several great restaurants close by, a great little café just across the street, and easy access to public transportation. Filippo is an amazing host and can give you so many suggestions about what to see and do.

Multi generational family trip to Florence
This apartment was the perfect place to enjoy an inter-generational vacation in Florence. My grandsons had ample space to spread out and the adults often "retreated" to the multiple small outdoor terraces to enjoy the late afternoon sun, and the peace and quiet of the location. Easy access to the center of the "old town" yet located in a quiet residential community. The apartment was within a comfortable distance to walk to everything we wanted to see in this amazing city. Fillippo was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was very accessible and answered all of my questions promptly and courteously. It was a wonderful vacation and we were so delighted to have this large, welcoming space to return to each evening. On our departure day, Fillippo's wife helped us to arrange a taxi to the airport. We highly recommend this apartment, and are so appreciative of the opportunity to experience the city of Florence in this way. Thank you, Fillippo. Jean Steins April 2024

I stayed here with my family and we each had our own space with a lot of room to get ready for the day. The terraces/balconies are beautiful and a great place to have your coffee or read a book. It helped that the city center was not a far walk either. Filippo was great with check-in, and made sure we had an itinerary for our week stay. We would come back again!!

First of all, Filippo was very accommodating and a great communicator. He explained everything about the spacious apartment and even gave us maps and pointed out the must dos in Florence.

Wonderful apartment and location
The apartment was perfect for us (five adults). We loved the location - away from the overly touristy area but a 10 to 15 minute walk to excellent restaurants and also walkable to tho city center - with a lovely walk along the Arno. Also very conveniently a two minute walk from a full grocery store. The apartment was quite spacious and easily and comfortably accommodated 5 adults. Filippo is a great host. Very easy to contact and he nicely called a taxi for our ride back to the train station. I would most definitely stay there again!
