Emanuela’s apartment is exactly as she describes and is located in close proximity to Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens just south of the Arno river. It is short walking distance (<10 minutes) to all sights in historic Florence center while also being outside of the often crazy hubbub around the Duomo or Mercado Centrale. We have visited Florence yearly for the last 8-10 years and we found this apartment to be in the ideal location.
The apartment is very spacious, well-appointed, modern and comfortable. It has a fully functional kitchen and very comfortable living room with floor-to-ceiling windows. We found it to be the ideal base for exploring all of our favorite Florence attractions. There are many, many nearby restaurants/bars, gelato places, food markets, small shops and high-end luxury stores like Gucci etc.
Emanuel was very responsive to our texts, answering often within minutes. Our stay in Emanuela’s apartment really could not have been any better! Casa Emanuela gets our highest recommendation!
