My family and I stayed in this house and enjoyed our stay. The bathroom was good but one of the shower walls makes it so others can see inside. Beds were all comfortable. For the folks who may have overlooked the notice of this home being on the top floor, it is. This is equivalent to a 5th floor so not recommended for those who have limited mobility, elderly or just heavy luggages. The lights in the building are turned on automatically and from personal experience the sensors we not the best at capturing our movement to remain on so this meant a bit of a hazard when going up or downs the stairs. The home is close to major attractions

Perfect location to see all the sites!
The 2 bedroom apartment was perfect and clean. The kitchen and sitting rooms were very comfortable and had everything we could have needed. Within walking distance to the Duomo and so many historic sites. The 5th floor walk up to as also an experience, but would definitely stay there again!

About the host

Hosted by Claudia

Host profile image
My name is Claudia, I was born in Tuscany and i moved to Florence to study Art History. I immediately fell in love with this city and from that moment I never wanted to leave. I have lived and worked here for almost 30 years and i’m still astonished/amazed/ breathless by its beauty and history.I bought my apartment in via Fiesolana from an italian artist named Gabriele that used it as its studio, and the rooms still reflects the same disposition the artist needed to paint his works of art. It was love at first sight for me, from the moment i saw the apartment I realized it had to be mine. This apartment in via Fiesolana had been my home for many unforgettable years and I really hope that my guests could experience the same feelings of happiness i felt in this apartment.

What makes this property unique

It’s very difficult to describe the reasons why I immediately fell in love with my apartment, they were just a bunch of unexplainable feelings. Some of the unique characteristics that hit me were the very high ceiling and the artistic glass window you could admire in the living room, a work by the Italian artist Gabriele, who was the previous owner of the apartment; the fireplaces, one of them with a head of Eolo the top also by Gabriele, the views on the roofs of Florence, the ancient wooden floor of the living room and the warm atmosphere that comes from any room. The big papier-mâché mask in the living-room was made by Gabriele too, he always loved to call it “Lo spirito della casa” (The soul of the house), it has been put there by the artist and it has always been there.
