This is a brilliant place to stay in for a visit to Florence. Convenient to all major places of interest and right in the heart of shopping, nightlife, restaurants, everything you want to see and do. We walked everywhere from the apartment during our stay, and nowhere took more than 30 minutes, most were a 10
- 20 min stroll.
The apartment is as beautiful as the pictures show, and very comfortable. We were a group of 2 couples. The 2nd bedroom has 2 large single beds that were so comfortable it was like sleeping on a cloud. The master bedroom has a king size bed that was also a fast pass to dreamland.
Storage is a little tight with a large cupboard in the master bedroom with plenty of shelves but no hanging space. The other cupboard outside the 2nd bedroom had shallow hanging space.
Both the ensuite, the main bathroom (not an ensuite but just outside the 2nd bedroom) and the 3rd bathroom were luxurious and had everything we needed.
We didn’t cook in the kitchen (waaay too many great restaurants for that!) but it had the basics for cooking, making toast, coffee etc as well as a small fridge but no freezer.
Overall the place is a peaceful escape from the hectic Florentine lifestyle however, some noise makes its way into the 2nd bedroom at night from the downstairs nightclub as there is a small door to what I presume was a shaft to facilitate bringing things up and down to the apartment. It’s closed and behind the bedside table but some sound is able to get through.
Fingen was easy to communicate with and answered all our enquiries promptly. We were warmly welcomed and shown around the apartment by Jeffrey who is a real gem, giving us great tips and offering to be on call if we needed help with restaurant bookings, taxis or anything.
The apartment is in a Palazzo that has been converted to mostly offices and another apartment. It’s on the top floor (5th) and there is a roomy lift - with seats! - to take you there and back to the piazza when you are ready to explore the wondrous place that is Florence.
