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!

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.

Guilio’s apartment was the absolute perfect accommodation for our family of 6! Everything is exactly as presented in the description and photos and is located in an area that is quiet but not far from activities! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely book this property again! Guilio and his employee, Arlene are very easy to work with and went above and beyond to make our stay awesome!

Everything about this apartment was terrific. Location, Amenities, communication, views, experience. I highly recommend you consider this apartment for your stay. We will return.

Should of said the apt was onthe 4th floor no elevators everything else was great

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.

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, Scott Stiegelmeyer

Perfect location, absolutely beautiful property, clean... 4 +

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...

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.

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.

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!

Such a beautiful place we all enjoyed our stay. Would def stay there again!

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.

Everything you need to enjoy a terrific visit to Florence. Very well appointed apartment. Very spacious. Housekeeping daily. With such a lovely place to hang our hats, it was tempting to never leave to appreciate all the wonders of Florence!

Great apartment; terrific location; wonderful amenities. We will look forward to a return visit.

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.
