Travellers Reviews
Submitted by Darrell Collie, Regina, SK, Canada
We arrived 3 hours late and they were very accommodating. We simply phoned them and let them know our revised arrival time and they were there. ... The Via dell'Orto Apartment was exactly as it was presented on-line. The staff were very friendly, helpfull and hospitable.
I highly recommend them. The location of the apartment was perfect. It is just outside the heavy tourist area and there are ample shops, bakeries, deli, cafe, mini markets within 1-3 blocks of the location. The prices of the shops around the location are significantly lower than on the tourist side of the river.
The sofa bed is even comfortable. ... Great location: 10-15 minute walk to all major locations. Bakeries, Butcher shops, cafe(s), excellent restaurant, Internet access point all within 1-2 blocks. All the shops around the apartment were very friendly and easy to deal with in English, even those who said they only spoke a little English. Supermarket within a 10 minute walk, mini market within a 2 minute walk. Train station within 15 minute walk.
Quality bedding.
I am sure you have other great locations and operators, but I can not help but think this location and staff should be listed at the top of the Highly Recommended list. ... Absolutely. The guest book is full of very positive experiences of others.
I plan on staying there the next time we are in Italy and will travel to all the other locations from Florence. It is truly considered my home away from home in Italy.

Although it was raining Lorenzo met us at the apartment promptly and let us in. He was at his cell number when we called from the station. ... I had no idea from the website images how lovely and cozy the apartment is. Please take some more images because the flat is a jewel, filled with light, spacious, quiet. ... Francesca was very efficient in checking us out and calling a cab to take us to the train station. We feel we got excellent value for our money and would recommmend it highly to anyone else. ... The lovely views of rooftops and greenery. The absolute quiet and plentiful amenities. Everything we required to make our stay pleasant was furnished in the apartment. ... A real find, if they can spend a week in Firenze, definitely consider the apartment. Tall ceilings, quiet, cable tv, fully equipped kitchen, great bathroom and nice firm bed as well as enough light to read at night-- all this and more. In addition the confidence of having wonderful contacts in Lorenzo and Francesca should anything arise that needed attention.

helpful site with good information to assist in choosing an apartment ... worked well ... very helpful in directions and prompt at meeting at apartment. We telephoned on arrival at Firenze, so that there was no delay, Which was very welcome after the journey ... Very quiet even though it was central. it was a pleasure to return to in the evening as it was so relaxing. ... again very helpful ... The peaceful outlook, the small but good local shops and eating places. The closeness to the bus stops for the circular routes which were invaluable in seeing the city ... good web site with good selection of properties ... Good area of the city, quiet but comfortable with all the amenities required, furnished to a high standard and stylish

Francesca was very helpful in showing us all the ammenities of the apartment. She was very accomodating when we had to change the pick up time on the day. The map of ammenities in the neighbourhood that was provided by Francesca was very helpful.
... The apartment was spotless and exactly as shown on the internet. ... I would recommend this place and refer them to the website.

A very nice, clean and well equiped apartment in a good area of the city. Wouldn't go in the summer as there is no balcony or outside space.
