Exquisite beyond belief

If I could give more than a 5 star rating, I would. This was the very best experience. from the art on the walls, the books carefully placed in their nooks, the first view of the Duomo off the balcony...everything was breathtaking. Taking the stairs to the 6th floor was a bit of a challenge, but worth every step, every day we were here. Sylvia and Guido were excellent hosts and the apartment has all the amenities and more. We didn't want to leave...but for sure...we will be back soon.

Great stay would recommend

We had a lovely stay. Close to the centre and Duomo, which was brilliant.Clean, great facilities, great additions such as soap and shower caps.We were aware of this before booking, but there are lots of steps to get to the apartment. However, the steps lead to a great view of the duomo on the balcony. Only things that could be improved was a mirror in the bedroom upstairs.

Everything you need right in the middle of everyrhing

Yes. There are a lot of stairs. But the location is perfect. We had everything we needed in the apartment. (We bought additional Moka grounds and dishwasher pods.) Beds were firm and comfortable. Water was warm for showers. Washer AND dryer for clothes. Our only issue is that the container for salt and for sugar were next to each other in identical vessels - so we did a lot of tasting to make sure we were using the right one!

What a gem!

This apartment is exceptional. I almost hesitate to tell anyone about it. It was spotless, comfortable, well located, nicely appointed. The washer and dryer came in handy. There is a ton of space. It was a treat to stay here. But be forewarned, there are a lot of stairs. But it’s worth it.

Perfect Home Away From Home

This gem of an apartment is worth the stair climbing! It is roomy, comfortable and filled with light, along with an updated and beautifully designed kitchen and bathroom. The terrace has a breathtaking view of the Duomo, whose stately bells ring right down to your core. The location is perfect, around the corner from the Duomo, the Piazzale della Repubblica and Piazza della Signoria/Uffizi Gallery. Silvia is an attentive and gracious host who makes sure you have what you need and follows up regularly.

Fantastic Location in Florence

Two couples staying in Florence for three nights. Location of rental is great. Close to sites, restaurants and shopping. Host was very good to deal with. They were quite responsive and helpful, and allowed for early drop off of baggage. The accommodations were clean and well stocked. We recommend this location.

About the host

Hosted by Silvia Palagi

Host profile image
Hello everyone, my name is Silvia and I live in Viareggio, where I deal with tourism.
For professional reasons, therefore, I know the problems linked to hospitality.
So, together with my husband Guido, we decided to rent our apartments in Florence, providing them with all the comforts that we like to find in a house when we go on holiday and I can say that our guests are always been very satisfied. We look forward to welcoming you and we remain at your disposal for any information you might need!

Why they chose this property

It is the home of our dreams! Quiet, bright, cozy and comfortable, in the heart of the city, where "things happen"; we have restored and decorated with love and we spend all the time available, consistent with my work - which for a few years - I will keep in Viareggio. When we are not there, we want our guests and friends to live our own magic ....

What makes this property unique

The light, the silence, the beautiful view, comfort, make our nest a special place in which to relax, study, receive friends; or simply re-energize after a day of visits to the many attractions of Florence!
