Turtle House is the perfect place to stay when visiting Florence. Monica is very friendly and welcoming and speaks very good English.
The apartment is situated on the quieter side of the river within a few minutes walk to Piazzale Michelangelo, where you can sit and watch the sunset over Florence, near by are the beautiful Boboli Gardens and Giardino Bardini. A 5 minute walk will take you to the hustle and bustle of Florence- Uffizi Gallery, Ponte Vecchio and all the other famous sights to see.
There are a few lovely restaurants very near to the apartment and the gelato shop is worth visiting too.
Monica has put so much thought and detail into the apartment. We did use the kitchen to cook a few meals and everything was there that was needed.
The garden was so pretty and peaceful to sit and relax in.
We had a very special time staying at this apartment and would fully recommend staying here.
