About this property

Entire place

The elegance in the heart of Florence

The apartment guarantees high standards of cleanliness given the covid emergency.
I take minimum 24 hours between check out and the next check in for cleaning, airing and to make a complete sanitizing of the apartment with professional products and dry steam.
In addition I provide the apartment with masks, gloves and disinfectant gel for my guests.
The apartment has been lovingly renovated with prestigious finishing in April 2014. There are two bedrooms, one with a French bed and the other with two single beds. Al the beds have mattress and pillows in memory foam There are also two bathrooms, one with shower and one ensuite with jacuzzi, equipped kitchen, large living room with a sofa-bed for two people more.
On request is available baby cot.

Beautiful and convenient location
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.

Scam. Vacation ruined, host cancelled booking at check in time.
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 .

Florence Stay—Lavender Accent Apartment
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!

Wonderful stay in Firenze
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.

Our stay was wonderful. Riccardo was very friendly and helpful. The apartment is clean and very comfortable. It located in a great location near to the Santa Novella train station, the tram stop that is there, and a short walk to the central market. The area was very quiet. I would book it again for sure.

Stayed at this location for 3 nights with my wife. What a perfect location for seeing a lot of the major attractions while in Florence. Walking distance to everything. Including some great restaurants and shops. Check in and out with Ricardo could not have been easier. Very helpful and allowed freedom to really enjoy the city. Thank you for a wonderful stay. I highly recommend this location. We hope to return soon someday.

My mom, sister and I rented this apartment for a week. Our host graciously met us for an early check in, which we really appreciated. The apartment was comfortable and felt like a perfect quiet get away right around the corner from the action. It really feels like my grandmother's old apartment with feminine touches and a warm feel. Having two bathrooms and a tub was a nice treat! We loved it and will happily return!
