Not only gorgeous, but spacious with plenty of seating and spaces for our adult/teen group. The kitchen/laundry room is exceptionally equipped and we happily prepared multiple meals, including Christmas dinner. The bedrooms and bathrooms are update, comfortable and spread apart for privacy. The location in the Oltrano is a 15 minute walk to the center, but the neighborhood has lots of dining options and fun, offbeat shopping you won't find in the more touristed areas. The furnishings are eclectic with modern and antique pieces complementing the space. Maybe not the best place for toddlers and small children with the stairs and more delicate accents.
Giulio was a wonderful host and accommodated our unanticipated LATE arrival. The building does not have a lift, but just consider it your trip to the gym!

Wow. We were so impressed with this apartment. It was actually more impressive in person than what is shown on the website. The Home is huge and is incredibly comfortable for a party of 4-6+ people. All of the rooms are large and so interestingly decorated. Also the home was incredibly clean and equipped with all of the amenities you could possibly want. the kitchen was so impressive . The location is also great as we were in walking distance to all the best that Florence has to offer. You will be close to all of the tourist sites and best restaurants. The only challenge we had was finding parking for our car. All of the garages near our apartment were full. By Luck we found a valet garage that was about a 15 minute walk away from the home which cost 30 euros per day. Other than that our stay here was amazing. We only wish we could have stayed longer.

This Beautiful apartment in Firenze is exactly how it looks online. It is a five star apartment all the way. All the bedrooms are quiet and very comfortable with plenty of linens and all you need. The kitchen is amazing with plenty of room to cook fantastic meals.. The common living spaces are spacious, clean and very cozy. Having family in Firenze they too were amazed at how lovely the apartment is. Dont worry about the walk up... They take care of everything to get all your luggage to the apartment.. They thought of everything. We will definitely be back and would not want to stay anyplace else.
Thank you for sharing this jewel with us...

The property is amazing, while the photos on VRBO are fantastic, nothing prepares you for what you experience once you walk in the door. The communicator with the owners/managers was great, the welcome was great- everyone was super helpful and it made being in Florence even more special…
We’ll definitely be back - but for a longer period of time!

We had a fabulous stay. Giulio was very helpful and always responded quickly. The apartment was air conditioned and very comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped and very modern. There were a lot of steps both outside and inside and unfortunately no elevator.. We would still definitely rent again.

Great place to stay
We enjoyed our stay at Giulio’s apartment. He was very helpful upon arrival. Wonderful views and the kitchen was fantastic. We really appreciated the coffee, wine and fruit basket upon arrival. No need to immediately go food shopping. We liked staying in the Oltrarno district. Great restaurants and slightly off the busy streets of Florence but still close to all the important historical sights. Hope to visit again!

Love everything about this place
The apartment was gorgeous. Every amenity one could want and a prime fun location. The climb up and down the stairs from apartment to street is well worth it
Giulio was very responsive and helpful.

Unforgettable family vacation
The property has great interior design and architectural details. The double height ceilings give an outstanding view and amplitude to the place. Beautiful and big kitchen with everything in hand. Giulio was very kind to receive us personally even we had to arrive later than we originally agreed. He gave us great recommendations for restaurants and tips to move around. We loved the neighborhood, we felt at home. Great local places to eat, excellent location, away from the crowds but near to walk to the main attractions. Beautiful building.

Spectacular location and quality amenities
Our family of five adults spent a week at Giulio’s amazing top floor penthouse apartment. It’s even more impressive in person. We all loved the location. Close walk to everything and far more authentic than being in the crowded tourist area. Although, I didn’t meet Giulio in person we corresponded by email multiple times. He helped with a couple reservations and referred two of our finest dinners. I cannot say enough about our foodie experience at Trattoria Cammillo. This is a must! The apartment is very large and spacious. Not to mention quiet. This is hard to come by in Florence. Top of the line amenities and the a/c worked wonderfully. Everyone commented how easy it was and close to small quaint wine shops, groceries etc. Although we didn’t eat in much. We made breakfast and coffee every morning. His kitchen is equipped for a chefs meal if you chose dinner. I personally loved the Illy coffee maker. All in all, you can’t beat the location. Lastly, in other reviews the steps were mentioned. Yes, he’s on the top floor. We found this a plus as the views are spectacular from every room. FYI, we are 50-55 years old. This was a nonissue for us. Thank you Giulio and Arlene for making our Brothers “50” so very special..
Ciao,

Modern Florence Apartment
Wow! This apartment is just amazing. The entire apartment including all three bedrooms is very spacious. The kitchen is huge and Arlene, the housekeeper, was wonderful. The location was perfect for us. It's a little quieter, which we enjoyed, great restaurants and shops close by. You can walk everywhere or grab a cab is needed. I hope to return someday with my children and show them this wonderful city...

Amazing apartment
I don’t know where to start with describing Giulio’s apartment because it is absolutely amazing. We spent one week and we totally loved it. There is so much attention to detail and absolutely everything is provided. When we arrived, we were welcomed with a bottle of wine and groceries in the fridge and we found that so thoughtful. The entire apartment is so spacious and bright. Daily cleaning services was provided and Arlene was great. The rooms are spacious and we loved the colors in the bathrooms. This apartment truly has everything, if you love to cook, you will find all you need to do so in the kitchen. Cable TV meant my son could watch his football matches and other programmes. There are books everywhere so if you are a reader, there is plenty to keep you busy. The apartment is located in Oltrano area, away from the busy streets of the city Centre, but within walking distance to everything. We walked everywhere. I could go on and on but would just like to say, that our stay in Florence was made so much more wonderful because of this beautiful apartment. I highly recommend it.

Fabulous apartment in Oltrarno (Florence)
Our family of 5 stayed here in June. After climbing 72 steps, we arrived at the entrance to Giulio’s amazing flat. This spacious and comfortable bi-level flat has everything one would leave for a stay in Venice. The train station and the historic center are a short walk across the Arno. The building is very quiet even though there are many shops, cafes, gelato places, and restaurants nearby. We loved staying at this flat.

We just returned from our stay in Florence and the apartment was wonderful. It looks exactly like the pictures. It's spacious, well appointed, good AC, has daily cleaning and is in a quiet part of town - close but not in the busy tourist area. Keep in mind that there is no elevator (3 flights of stairs), and the master bath has a slanted ceiling which might be challenging for someone tall. None of these things bothered us. Also note there is construction going on across the street during the day. I originally thought this would bother us, but it didn't as we were generally out during the day. Also, the bedrooms are on the opposite side and extremely quiet.

Had an excellent stay in Florence
We stayed here in March 2018. Florence was a great home base to visit Italy. We did day trips to Rome and Venice. The apartment was perfect for our family of 4. More than enough room and very comfortable. The furnishings, the art, fully equipped kitchen were great! Very spacious. Nice TVs, and stereo equipment. Guilio and Arlene were always accessible if we needed anything. The apartment overlooks a beautiful piazza and church. It was nice even though the piazza was under construction during our stay.
We cooked breakfast each morning. They stocked us with basics on arrival. And the market was around the corner to buy more groceries during the stay. The kitchen was really spacious and nice to cook in.
The showers were excellent. Everyone looked forward to the nice showers after a long day.
It is about four flights of stairs to the apartment but we didn't mind. You'll be walking all over Florence so this is just par for the course. The building felt very safe and secure.
We all slept very comfortably. Beds were good. Rooms were quiet. We didn't hear anyone else in the building.
It was a 15 - 20 minute walk to all the tourist sites. It was also about the same distance to walk to the train station. It was a great combo because it was quiet and quaint where we were, but minutes away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist area. There were plenty of restaurants in the area too.
We would definitely stay here again!

This is a wonderful property, beautiful and accessible to the best of Florence.
It was a bit of a trek up the stairs to the top floor, but worth the climb every time we arrived at the apartment. What a beautiful, light filled and fabulously furnished and equipped home. With three bedrooms and three baths, lots of seating areas, windows to view the area, and a great kitchen, it accommodated four of us well. A ten minute walk took us to City center, the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio; it was a short distance to the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens; and a great neighborhood on its own with all kinds of shops and restaurants. The owner stocked basic breakfast supplies and recommended a chef for us to arrange and evening in with a lovely meal. Thank you Giulio and HomeAway.

The apartment is just as pictured , and very comfortable. Additionally the daily housekeeping provided by a gracious housekeeper is excellent. Guilio kindly helps with the luggage at check in and check out. (No lift, many stairs). The location is great, a little removed from the tourist area, nice and quiet. Florence is best experienced walking it and this location is situated nicely. Amazing restaurants nearby, down the street try "del Carmine" and the one of best gelato place in Florence is a few blocks away, Gelateria Santa Trinta
Highly recommend this apartment.
