This apartment is fabulous, and by far the loveliest space I have ever rented on Airbnb- it is THE place to stay in Florence!
The location is a charming palazzo in central Florence less than 5 minute walk to the Duomo. There are a lot of shops and a few cafes, but it is still quiet and not overrun with throngs of tourists. The elevator is extremely useful for bags as well! Very charming building steeped in history.
The apartment itself is gorgeous, extremely comfortable and well-appointed. The furnishings are stylish, the beds are comfortable (memory foam pillows and mattresses!), there is a fabulous home bar set up, and plenty of space spread over two floors. It is overall very luxurious with details including plush bath robes, travertine marble shower, and even built in USB charging plugs throughout. The bathtub in the upstairs bedroom might just have the best view of any bathtub in Florence.
Speaking of the view from upstairs and the patio… it is THE view. The Duomo feels so close you could touch it, and the hills surrounding the city are dotted with beautiful villas. It all lights up at sunset. Truly this has to be the best rooftop in Florence. We went to the top of the dome, and the view was somehow anticlimactic, because we were so spoiled by our patio view. It is truly an amazing patio, and we spent every night watching the sun set behind the Duomo while the city lit up.
This place was truly a dream. A luxurious dream. Can’t wait to visit again!
