Lovely, clean, accessible and affordable flat. Worth every penny!
Guilliano was wonderful, The apartment perfect for our needs. It served as a perfect place to crash after touring and playing all over Florence. SO MUCH better than a hotel.

Great value for money, very spacious, and a great location.
We had no trouble finding the apartment with the directions we were given by email. My daughter and I were very warmly welcomed by Mauro's lovely parents. The apartment is so much bigger than I expected and is full of character. It is comfortable, clean and has been renovated but still retains its "Old World" charm. The apartment is located opposite the Basilica di Santa Croce, is adjacent to the Piazza Santa Croce and is walking distance from all the historical sites. For a great view of Florence and the surrounding hills, go to Villa Bardini, pay to see the gardens and the museum, and walk out on to the balcony on the 3rd floor of the museum.
