My wife and I both independently stumbled on the listing for this apartment and I’m so glad we trusted our instincts to book it, as it was fantastic.
Re: some of the negative points of other reviews - true there are a lot of steps but this would only be an issue for the infirm or elderly and as for the noise at night - there is a noisy bar across the road but the apartment has good windows and it’s not anything dramatic. Comfortable beds and the electrics are fine. So on to the good stuff…Staying in a 13th century tower with its high ceilings, views from every window, all the amenities you need and with 2 incredible terraces with panoramic views of the city and the Tuscan hills, was an absolute privilege! Rubes was so welcoming and it’s a short stroll from the apartment to basically everything in the city. If you like staying centrally, where there is history in the walls and where you can watch a Florentine sunset over the Duomo and Tuscan hills, aperitivo in hand - this is for you!
