Romantic Apartment With Garden 2 Minutes' Walk From Pitti Palace
Santo Spirito-Piazza Pitti apartment with garden sleeps 2/4. This newly-renovated apartment is located on the first floor of an old building 50 metres from Piazza Pitti. It is about 45 square metres and has the rare feature of a beautiful walled garden which, being at the back of the building, is a haven of peace and birdsong in the centre of the city. The living room has a mezzanine floor with a double bed. On the lower level is a comfortable sofa bed and seating area, large wardrobe, desk and work area with internet connection and large window overlooking the garden. The spacious kitchen has a traditional marble-topped table that seats four comfortably, an armchair corner and a door leading out onto the garden. The bathroom is done out in pale stone with slate grey tiling on the floor: it is contemporary and chic and really quite large for an apartment of this size. There is a small storage room too. There are oak floors throughout. The garden has jasmine and antique roses climbing the walls and fresh herbs for use in your Tuscan cooking: a table and chairs provide a perfect spot for al fresco meals and aperitivi. Although we are at present renting this apartment out, we have deliberately restored it with a view to using it as our own pied-a-terre in Florence one day, so we have not cut corners! There is a private garage for parking 5 minutes walk away (not ours); there is a daily charge.

Charming apartment in a nice area of Florence. Excellent restaurants, bars and shops nearby. Kitchen is well-equipped, and we appreciated the welcome bottle of Prosecco. Our primary challenge was due to a rail strike on the day of our arrival, and we came to find out how tightly coordinated the check-in time needs to be. We had to meet the host in person on a day when our travel was complicated by limited transportation. Beyond that, we had a great time and recommend the apartment.

The location is absolutely unbeatable if you are looking to stay in authentic Florence away from the tourists. The apartment was as advertised and shown in the photos. The main downside is the neighbors. We tried to relax in the garden one evening only to experience competing music from two different apartments. Sleeping was disrupted on multiple occasions by the sound of footsteps overhead, sometimes for hours in the middle of night. It was literally like someone was pounding on the floor above.

Compact apartment with garden close to Ponte Vecchio
Nicky was a perfect host, meeting us outside the apartment block entrance and took time to show us around. The apartment was a real find, with it’s own secluded courtyard garden (rarely found in Firenze) and perfectly located within a few minutes walk of the main attractions, museums and galleries. The upper mezzanine bed was supplied with crisp sheets and comfy with some air fans and A/C for hotter nights. Surrounded by restaurants, bars, shops and gelato outlets plus a dog friendly park just 10 minutes walk away, meant this was a perfect choice to explore. Nearby is a garage to park your car if you bring one. We’ll be back !!

Close to the Action, Away from the Chaos
Great stay in a well equipped and good size apartment. Air conditioning was welcomed on a hot stretch of days. We were welcomed with a bottle of prosecco. A couple of strange house rules that we hadn’t seen with short term rentals before (expected to stock toilet paper, soap and shampoos for next guests). Apart from that, we had a lovely stay and would recommend it

Great location
Nicky is a very friendly host. We had a great communication and easy check-in. The apartment has everything you need for a short stay. A bed was comfortable. It’s important to me as I want to be well-rested whilst I am travelling. The apartment location is perfect. It’s a few minutes away from Palazzo Pitti and there are plenty of cafes and restaurants around. A private parking we booked upon Nicky’s recommendation was within 5 minutes walking distance from the appartment. I strongly recommend to book a parking space in advance.

Such a cute apartment.
Very well equipped with amenities. The only back stop was when I booked it showed a lift which was out of order. Not good to carry your heavy luggage up 24 stairs. Overall we enjoyed our stay and loved the private courtyard. Nicky is a wonderful host. We would come back in a heart beat.So close to restaurants and shopping. Loved it.

Fabulous stay
The apartment was lovely, clean, comfortable and well equipped. It had everything we needed, and everything was to a good standard, particularly the kitchen. The garden was so nice, we loved coming back after a morning site seeing to relax in the garden before heading out again. Communication with Nicky was very good both before and during our stay. The apartment is centrally located, so we were able to walk everywhere. We hope to stay again !

Ideal Location in Florence
This apartment was super clean, comfortable and very spacious for two. The kitchen was large, well-stocked and accessible. The location is perfect; a five minute walk to Pitti Palace, Ponte Vecchio, and another few to the Uffizi Galleries, Palazzo Vecchio, and Piazza della Signoria. And of the half dozen apartments we rented across northern Italy on this trip, this was the only one at which the host met us at the door and made sure we got a warm, friendly welcome. Big points for that. We highly recommend this apartment.

Quite but not cosy
We stayed between Christine Eve and New Years Eve. Plus I would have preferred to have contacted the booking agent direct to share our concerns, but that has not been possible. Therefore I am leaving a review, which will be mainly negative, for which I am sorry.We had hoped for a cosy week away over Christmas. However the apartment was far from cosy. The boiler isn’t straight forward and doesn’t seem able to warm the small apartment up. The radiators failed to warm through completely, so it told me that the system wasn’t setup properly. Given it was freezing weather during our weeks stay in Florence, we needed a reliable heat source.Also the lack of carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, are a concern but we were advised these are planned.Also whilst the kitchen has ample storage, some good basic equipment would be greatly appreciated.The pluses for the apartment are its location, so central and therefore virtually everything is walkable.Also the apartment is quiet and located well away from street noise, so again ideal. But for the price this apartment doesn’t have the wow factor.In fact all the accommodation after this initial week, four other stays, all far exceeded this property.We could only recommend this property for a stay during warmer months, as the cool and the garden would be welcome and come into their own.Finally whilst we have used Vrbo a number of times for booking accommodation, this has made us review our booking options in the future

Nicky our host was amazing- let me start with that! We had some small issues at the start that she was unaware of, but she handled things immediately. I have rated this property a 4 ONLY because of the noise from the apartment above. They were very disturbing! I had seen comments about this in earlier reviews but nothing recent so assumed it was no longer a problem. It may be new tenants so Nicky was already dealing with it when we left. I would just want to be assured this was no longer happening before booking.again it

The apartment is very well located and close to all attractions. Our stay in Florence was made better by having a lovely place to rest with all the amenities we needed. If you’re looking to stay in Florence don’t hesitate to stay here. There are 2 flights of stairs which were no problem for us but if you have mobility concerns this is the only issue . Contact with the owner was excellent where everything was explained to us. Thanks Nicky for a great stay.

Great location, well appointed apartment, knowledgeable friendly host, pleasant outdoor garden space. The only negative was the noise from the apartment rights above the bedroom. The people could be heard walking (
Communication with Nicky was great and she also had an extensive compendium with lots of information and recommendations. The apartment was as advertised. Lovely outdoor courtyard for pre dinner drinks or early morning breakfast. The stairs to the loft bedroom could be a little challenging for some. Easy walk to Ponte Vechio and lots of dining in the area.
