Tom’s home was our favorite vacation rental ever. First, Tom was invested in ensuring any questions were answered and our trip went smoothly. He met us at check-in and educated us on things to do and how to navigate Florence. Second, his home was elegantly appointed with furnishings and modern fixtures and appliances including air conditioning and a washer/dryer. The private garden space was the perfect retreat to start and finish our day. Last, the location was ideal. Close enough to walk to all we wanted to see in Florence, yet nestled in a quiet neighborhood setting with a coffee shop and cafe a few doors down. Tom met us again at checkout and arranged transportation for us. If we find ourselves in Florence again, we will 100% stay here. Our experience was 10 out of 10!

This property simply was perfect. Spacious, well appointed with interesting art and furniture. A two story lovely garden that backs up to the ancient city wall. Location is great - short walks into city center yet not too chaotic. The host, Tom, was amazingly hands-on, engaging, helpful and communicative. Able to help without recommendations for just about anything. Can’t say anything negative - you do need to be able to do stairs.

Frankly this is one of the best experiences I have ever had with a VRBO and I have done over 20 in the states and abroad. Tommaso was remarkable welcoming us and saying goodbye. His house is well appointed with everything you could want in the kitchen, bath and living area. He provides recommended restaurants, sightseeing opportunities along with maps to all. The outdoor space in the middle of Florence in a gem. The San Niccolò district is wonderful with plenty of restaurants, shopping and entertainment close. Leave your worries behind and turn yourself over to Tommaso and his hospitality!

Words can’t begin to explain how wonderful of an experience my family had in this beautiful home. Tom is an amazing host and person. On my birthday, Tom went out of his way to leave his favorite snacks at the door for me. My expectations were exceeded beyond belief. We spent all of the time we could enjoying the gorgeous garden and serene home. It was hard to leave! Would not hesitate to book again.

Perfect but suitable only if you are ok with stairs

If you are ok with stairs (four flights of stairs to get from street into the apartment), you need to stop looking and book immediately - it is the perfect stay.The apartment is beautiful and exactly as shown - in a residential location just outside of the busy/noisy downtown, but only a 10min walk to downtown and a mere 2 min walk to Piazzale Michelangelo.The host (Tom) is even better than the already ideal place - he goes out of his way to help and pamper you but is not overbearing - just ideal.Don't overthink it - just book - highly recommend.

Wow! We absolutely loved this very spacious, clean and modern apartment in Florence. The rooftop garden is truly special. Our host, Tommaso was exactly as you read in all the reviews. Super welcoming, responsive and helpful along the way. In a pinch, he helped us line up travel to Cinque Terre because the train workers happened to be on strike that day. Walk to everything Florence from this spot. Can't recommend this apartment enough if you want an authentic Florence getaway.

Absolutely loved everything, beautiful, spacious, really made our stay in Florence. Amazing owner!

We loved everything about our stay in Florence. Tommaso’s house is absolutely beautiful, spacious, and clean - with incredible art throughout and an outdoor garden to relax. Tommaso was such a wonderful host - he recommended restaurants and helped us make reservations, left us wine, gave us free tickets to a museum, and was very flexible for our arrival and departure times. Our stay here was the best of our trip to Italy and made our visit to Florence our favorite of our trip. The location requires some walking (like everywhere in Italy) but nothing too far. It’s within about a mile walk of most sites. Highly recommend Tommaso’s house.

Absolutely Perfect Florence Stay

I cannot say enough good things about this apartment and Tommaso, the host. He greeted us when we arrived and meet us to say goodbye. The space was perfect for 3. Well appointed kitchen. And the gem of the property is the outdoor garden. Walking distance to many nice restaurants or to the main section of the city. There is also a bus stop within 1 block. One of the best VRBO stays I've ever experienced.

We booked this on short notice when we decided to visit Florence. Tommaso is an excellent host who provided many recommendations for places to visit and where to eat. The apartment is the best short term rental I have ever stayed in. Its very well decorated, centrally located and the garden area is beautiful, literally an oasis in the middle of the city.

Our family had travel a lot over the years with VRBO and the other sites. Tommas was by far the best host we have had. From meeting us at his perfect apartment to checking in via WhatsApp during our stay. He even booked us a car to the train station on our last day. The apartment is very well appointed and very comfortable. You are walking distance to everything you need, restaurants grocery store and all the sites of Florence. If you are considering Florence, book this place you will not be disappointed.

Loved our stay! Apartment is far enough to be quiet but walking distance to the excitement. The apartment is meticulous. The garden is just perfect for coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. The bedrooms have very good air conditioning. The jewel of staying at this place, however, is the owner, tom. Tom is extremely passionate about having guests at his family home and it is clear from the get-go. He communicates frequently and makes sure that you have everything you need. He has done an amazing job making the apartment user friendly for guests including videos how to operate the appliances. Make sure to book a pasta making class with Gloria - Tom will assist!

Beautiful Apartment on Quiet Street

We loved our stay in this beautiful apartment! The kind VRBO owner, Tom met us to help us with our bags and show us around the apartment. The wall art in the apartment is amazing! And the space was perfect for our family of 5. My daughter even said the futon was super comfortable. The large garden is a treat. The neighborhood was much quieter than most and there were a handful of cafes just down the street. Walking to the historical center was pretty quick and enjoyable. Tom also gave us recommendations for drivers, dining, things to do, etc. Overall, we loved our stay and would recommend this lovely apartment!

Florence garden

This was a wonderful experience and the best VRBO we have stayed in over our many European visits. Newly renovated and appointed with beautiful artwork, fixtures and furnishings. Perfectly set up for 2 couples + 1 kid with 2 large bedroom suites and a third partial bedroom with a futon and half bath. It’s located on the third floor with many steps so older visitors need to be aware. We stayed with our two teenage grandchildren who assisted us with luggage. But, with that as the only watch out, the location in Florence was excellent with all major sights and great restaurants within walking distance. Host Tomasso was “over the top” helpful with information and assistance. We stayed 3 days and are already planning a return stay. Highly recommend.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE

First off, while the photos are great they do NOT do justice to this place. It is incredible in every way. We stayed with our daughter and her firmed and it was perfect. A 10-25 minute walk EVERYWHERE you would want to go.The home has all you need to start off on the right foot. Our host was OUTSTANDING. Best check-in/out experience and very accessible via WhatsApp.All the suggestions for dinners/sites were helpful.Hands down the inside was perfect but the OUTSIDE gardens were remarkable.Every morning we had our coffee there smelling the amazing floral scents from the terrace and listening to the birds.peaceful for sure. It was like being transported to another world/time.We WILL be coming back here.The Bardini gardens are down the street and the beautiful lookout fromPiazalle Michaelangelo is maybe 500 feet away. Do not skip these lesser known close treats of outdoor beauty. Thank you so much.
