This was hands-down the most beautiful apartment we stayed in during our European trip. It is just stunning.
The apartment has been modernized but remains faithful to its heritage, showcasing the most beautiful traditional features, particularly the fantastic balcony. It also has 3 air conditioning units, which were an absolute blessing in the height of summer (when we were there).
The location is brilliant - right in the heart of Florence, opposite a big market and easy walking distance everywhere. It also happens to be right next door to one of the best gelaterias!
Further adding to our wonderful experience was Lorenzo's hospitality. He went out of his way to ensure the apartment was spotless in time for our arrival. He even waited for us for over an hour when our train was delayed. He was so kind and made sure we had all the information we needed to make our time in Florence as fantastic as possible. He actually has roses and wine waiting for us upon our arrival, to celebrate our honeymoon!
I cannot stress enough how perfect our time in Florence, and in Lorenzo's apartment was. It's a beautiful, light, spacious and cool apartment right in the heart of Florence, and Lorenzo is the consummate host. If I could award 6 stars, I would.
If you're staying in Florence, this place is a must.
