The apartment was very well maintained and clean. The hosts met as at check in and helped carry our bags upstairs. They were available via text the entire time. They gave us recommendations for taxis and food. We would stay again !!
A spacious and clean apartment near the main city centre. A short walk to a grocery store, restaurants, numerous museums, coffee bars, shopping etc. Check in and out was very easy and we had paid parking for our car. Our hosts were very helpful and attentive. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Hosts were extremely hospitable. The apartment was very clean and well appointed. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The location we felt safe. Would be glad to stay again in the future.
Excellent choice for a stay in Florence. The apartment was bright and clean. The hosts, Patrizia and Stefano, were easy to communicate with and were available for assistance.
My family of 5 had the best time. The property is so clean! We appreciated this quiet space away from the hustle and bustle of the historic area. We would definitely choose to stay here again.
Great place to stay. It was so clean and had everything we needed. Patrizia was there to greet us and always responded quickly to our questions. Location made it easy to walk to the sites and restaurants.
Very clean and comfortable accommodation, with a good restaurant and bar close to the Porta Romana

The owners, Stefano and Patrizia, were so pleasant, available and helpful when we had a question or needed support. They met us on arrival and carried our luggage up the stairs - they did the same when we departed 7 days later. The apartment was exceptionally well-equipped and very clean. The location was so close to all amenities including a pharmacy, restaurants, specialty shops, bus stop, taxi stand, etc. We loved, loved this place!!
Well appointed as restaurants, shops, coffee, and market all in walking distance situated amongst the locals . Historical canter is a 30 min leisure walk and felt touristy in comparison. Very comfortable stay here. Would definitely recommend .
We had a comfortable stay, everything we needed was provided.
Not far from the city Centre, some good Restaurants and supermarkets are available nearby.
Would Book the appartment again.
The hosts are amazing at this property, communication is prompt, apartment is clean and is a great location and so much within walking distance! Would highly recommended!
Great apartment, modernised and equipped to a high standard. Ideally located just outside the city centre but within easy walking distance to the centre and all it's fantastic attractions. Would definitely recommend.
I highly recommend this place. It was super clean, in a great location since we didn't want to stay in the middle of the city center. The host was very kind and even helped us secure a parking garage for our rental car. I couldn't have been more pleased and appreciative of her help!
Our friends and my husband and I strayed 4 days. It was lovely. The hosts were wonderful. Location was perfect to walk and to enjoy great food! Hopefully we will come again!
This is a beautiful and comfortable property. Highly recommended. One of the best restaurants we went to during a three week Europe trip was does down from the property. The hosts were friendly and gracious. I really liked being on the other side of the Arno away from the noise at night but a short walk to get to everything by day
The home was very nice and clean. Patrizia and Stefano were very welcoming when we arrived and easy to communicate with before and after checkin. The area is nice and quiet compared to the busy city centre, which is about 20 minutes walk away. The beds were comfortable. There’s lots of good cafés and bars nearby, one we really enjoyed, and that is along the walk towards the city centre is Pitti Express. Overall a great stay!
I stayed here for 5 nights with my 2 daughters. It was a wonderful stay. The hosts were so kind and helpful and even met us as we arrived and helped with our bags. The place is immaculate and very well stocked and we knew if we needed anything we could just send a text, but we never had to. The location is great and we walked to everything at all hours of the day!
This holiday home is in a great location and easy to get too. We enjoyed our stay as the apartment was a perfect size for our family and within walking distance to many things. We will stay here again (if available) the next time we travel to Firenze!
Oh, and our hosts were quite lovely and very welcoming!
This is a wonderful apartment in a very fun section of Florence. Lots of neighborhood, restaurants, bakeries, and fruit markets. Easy walking access to everything in the city. The apartment is spotless and spacious. We loved the hosts who communicated with us anytime we had questions.

Hosts Stefano and Patrizia were the friendliest people! The property is immaculate with two full bathrooms.
The property is a 2 minute walk from the entrance to Piazza Romana, where the best Firenze experiences begin.
Dont miss Mila's Pizzeria right next door.
We will definitely stay here again.
We loved staying in the DiladdArno Holiday Home. We loved stay within a neighborhood setting. The apartment was clean and had every thing we needed. The host was very helpful and would help us with any questions. We hated to leave and would recommend the apartment to anyone who is visiting Florence!
Great location for sightseeing in Florence. Clean, well stocked, and beautifully decorated. The hosts could not have been nicer or more helpful. We absolutely loved Florence and we loved this apartment. We highly recommend.
