Rooftop patio delivers better view than any city hotspot! This was an incredible location! Twenty minutes walking distance to everything! I cannot rave enough about the roof top patio. It will make you feel as though you could almost touch every historical landmark in Florence. Rubes was a gracious and accommodating host. We had an unfortunate flight delay which altered our check in but we were greeted at the apartment with a bottle of wine and given a brief history of the tower ( it has been in Rubes family for over a hundred years! ). Rubes delivered a wonderful overview of the city centre directly from the top of the tower! Note* The stairs to the roof top are steep and might be to much for those that are less nimble. The street below is bustling with activity and hosts cafes and bars...so it can be lively if you are a light sleeper. It did not take away from this property for us! We loved this historic tower and highly recommend this spacious stay.
