I had Francesco’s colleague who works reception, Filippo help me. He was absolutely amazing. The most attentive, available, helpful, and kind host we’ve experienced in a long time.
Check in was easy. We were met by Filippo who helped us with our heavy luggage.
The building has a small elevator that was convenient for heavy luggage and stairs for a quick in and out; many electronic locks for extra safety and security; and the best part was the renaissance palazzo decoration still intact in the rooms.
Our room was a two bed apt, with two ceiling frescoes at least 500 yrs old still in great condition. Both beds have center view right below them. Filippo was kind enough even to show us the beautifully intact fresco of another big room for 8 people (as a history nerd, I absolutely loved this place).
So beautiful and Filippo + cleaning staff made us feel so welcome and safe. The room was already well heated when we arrived. Clean linens, towels, furniture, floors, everything. Heated drying rack in the bathroom, washer, dryer. A kitchen with all the essentials (microwave, stove, etc).
No hassle of having to organize trash or clean anything we didn’t want or have time to. Much appreciation to all who work there.
It is also less than a 5 minute walk from Il Duomo di Firenze, super close to supermarkets and within 10-15 from every great ristorante, museum, and shopping place you’d want to go to. You can even walk across the Ponte Vecchio in around 15-20 min. No curvy alleyways or confusing routes.
This place was by far the best stop of our trip through Italia thanks to both the fun, history, and beauty of Firenze and the convenience, hospitality, and professionalism from Filippo and the staff.
If i ever come back again, i will be keeping any eye for this apartment ALWAYS! Thank you Filippo + Francesco! Grazie Mille.
