Loved staying here, AMAZING terracotta tiled roof views from every window, including the top of the Palazzo Pitti in the distance from one window, and a beautiful top of a church from another window, where we loved watching the sun set. The location is fantastic, just over the Ponte Vecchio and turn right. Nice shops, restaurants, and a convenience store nearby for milk and juice for breakfast, ect...
The apartment has been renovated with modern conveniences, while keeping lovely elements from the 13th century tower, like stone arch imbedded in the walls, small stone fireplace, and wood floors. The walls are bright and white, with high ceilings in the main room, that gives a light spacious feeling.
The main bedroom is in a loft over looking the main living room, very open and spacious, and it has a portable fan and TV.
The second room that has a small twin bed with what looks like a trundle under it for a second bed, is the one I used. I like having the privacy of a door to close, so even though it is a very small room, I was comfortable in my little monk's cell. There is a portable air-conditioning unit in the small room, otherwise the room would be hot with the door closed. We kept the air conditioning on in the main room too, since it was very hot that week in Florence, and we didn't want to have the windows open at night in case a bird might fly in...it is a medieval tower after all! And on such a high floor, thank goodness there is an elevator!
The kitchenette is tiny but has everything we needed for breakfast and tea in the mornings and evenings. The bathroom has a very good shower and the toiletries were top notch, better than I have come to expect in airbnbs, and there were plenty of towels. There is a washing machine but we did not use it.
We loved staying here, and would stay again. The host checked in via text to make sure we were o.k., and there was someone who met us at check in and check out to make it all ran smoothly, and even helped us order a taxi the night before we needed to leave, and helped us with our bags exactly on time the next morning. thank you!
