We are a family of four (including two young children) and had a wonderful stay in this tower apartment.
The apartment is in great condition and the location was PERFECT for exploring Florence, with very little walking needed to get to each location. Being on the doorstep of the Ponte Vecchio meant everything just north of the river was so easy to get to, whilst the parks south of the river (such as the Boboli Gardens) were literally just around the corner (and in fact are visible from the bedroom window). We also managed to visit the Palazzo Pitti / Boboli Gardens on a ‘free entry’ day, so do check if any coincidence with your visit as there are only a few days per year.
With individual views available in all directions from the various windows of the apartment, nearly every part of Florence could be seen from somewhere in the apartment. The outside roof terrace offers a wide view to the north where you can relax/eat with a lovely day and evening view of the Duomo and the Palazzo Vecchio. Due to the orientation of the roof terrace it also provides some welcome shade from the sun, as we stayed during a hot August.
Whilst the children used the bedroom, the sofa bed was really comfortable and felt just like a normal bed to us.
We loved Florence and would definitely consider coming back to the city and this apartment again.
Thank you also Egla for being a great host. Communication was polite and responses fast. The whole check-in process was easy.
One last point. Some people have previously commented about building works happening to refurbish the apartment above. Nothing was going in during our stay, but we did notice the works have not been finished. Therefore you may wish to double check no noise is planned for when you will be visiting or the works have been finished.
