Everything we had hoped

This is a beautiful and large apartment and that did not disappoint! It is exactly like the pictures and explanation. The location is fantastic and close to everything. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back or recommend to friends :) Clean, spacious, beautiful kitchen, comfy beds, and great showers!!
Florence June 2018
Let's talk about what this property isn't: it is not cheap. But it IS beautiful, clean, well-appointed, quiet, well located, historic, and the host is great, too. Our family had a great time staying here -- it's the type of place you'd gladly live indefinitely. Laundry facilities were great. Steps from great restaurants, historic sights, and all of Firenze. Definitely a "wow" property.
I would, whole-heartedly, stay here again. Thanks Susanna!
Perfect location, great stay!

The location was perfect to all major attractions. We walked everywhere. About 25 minute walk to train station and San Lorenzo (indoor market). It is next to a square which had an excellent café where we had breakfast most mornings. The Italian restaurant across the street also had great pizza. The place had all the amenities expected when renting an apartment, it was well maintained and clean. It was an ideal landing spot for our time in Florence.
Stunning apartment full of character

My family and I enjoyed every moment at this amazing place. From the comfy beds to the well appointed kitchen and the stylishly decorated home. The slippers on the bed were a sweet touch. It felt like a 5 star resort with a ton of room in a fantastic location. We felt like we were in the center of it all. The apartment is in a lively pedestrian square. If noise bothers you bring some ear plugs. It was loud and hopping until about midnight on a Sunday night. Noise or not we would come back here without hesitation and we wished we had stayed longer than 2 nights. Love this place!

From start to finish, this place was exceptional. Susanna and Paulo were one of the most responsive and cooperative hosts I have ever encountered. Bravo! Now the property. The location was perfect, and we were blown away when we arrived. Our travel companion is a art historian, and imagine our delight in hearing that Dante’s mistress lived here! The accommodations were flawless, and the only suggestion I have is to leave instructions how to use the washer and dryer. Took me a while to figure that out. The beds were comfortable and the place wished extremely well stocked. Wi-Fi was free! The eateries in the palazzo outside the door were worth trying....we especially liked the breakfast place in the morning. All were terrific! Would not hestitate to come back and WILL be coming back! Ciao!
Stylish comfort in perfect location
Florence Left on May 14, 2018 for a stay in May 2018
The apartment cleverly mixes contemporary style with the history of this lovely tower. Everything is on the doorstep and yet it feels like a small village within the city so it was great to be able to get away from the busiest sites and back in the evening to the friendly restaurants in the piazza. It is hard to imagine there could be a better location or a more comfortable apartment . Susanna has been very helpful always responding quickly to any query.Thank you, already planning to return.
What a FABULOUS place to stay !!!
Florence Left on May 6, 2018 for a stay in May 2018
We had a wonderful time in Florence. Our first visit. Arrived from Venice on Wednesday. Susanna was great to work with from the time we made our reservation to the day we left. Instructions that were given to us to give to taxi driver were spot on. Eduardo met us when we stepped out the cab. He was their for our every need. He did a walk thru once inside the apartment. Wow !! What a beautiful place. 4 of us traveling, 3 levels. Each bedroom full bath w/shower. It was perfect location for all main attractions, and restaurants all over. Believe me if you get a chance to go to Florence, this is the place to stay. When we get back to Florence this will be out home away from home. Thanks again Susana and Eduardo !

Great apartment, spacious, centrally located, easy to contact owner and good response time. We loved the kitchen and the bedrooms are very private.

The location is amazing and the apartment is beautiful, spacious and very well appointed. It was the perfect accommodation for our family of 6 adults and one toddler, and so convenient with restaurants, cafes, bakeries, groceries, and even a fruit stand only a few steps away. No need for transportation here, it was a short walk to the Duomo, Uffizi and Academia. Susanna was very accommodating and easy to work with. Would love to visit again, we had a wonderful stay!
Unique, tasteful apartment in premium location.

All of our expectations were exceeded in this lovely Medieval tower apartment. It is tastefully decorated with a modern flair while exposing the rustic charm of the original building. During our three day stay in Florence, our group of four thoroughly enjoyed and utilized all aspects of the apartment: we cooked our own breakfasts in the morning; enjoyed takeout pizza in the large central dining room; relaxed together in the living room and fell into our beds at the end of every day for a good night's sleep. The location cannot be beat: very short walk to the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi Gallery as well as restaurants and shopping. Susanna's suggestions on getting in and out of town and car rental options were very helpful. I highly recommend this apartment!
Amazing, superbly designed and well located apartment in the heart of Florence

We were fortunate enough to stay 8 days in this masterpiece. We fell in love with this apartment when we saw its photos online before we book our trip but actually we found this place even more amazing upon seeing it in person when we arrived! It's not hard to imagine a lot of heart and sweat must have been put into turning this medieval tower into a modern apartment. The interior was tastefully decorated with a lot of thoughtful details to ensure high level of comfort and convenience for the occupants. I love especially the chic and well equipped kitchen. The master bedroom was very smartly designed with the original ceiling of the medieval building, a clever reminder of the historic background of the place. We also love the Flos lamps around the apartment which added extra stylish touches. The hi-tech and secure front door was another impressive piece. The owner Susanna was responsive to our enquiries. Her assistant Giorgio, who was our main contact during our stay was very friendly and helpful. Florence is one of our favourite italian cities. We definitely will go back there again and hopefully we can stay in this apartment again!
Florence October 2017
This apartment was a joy to stay in and exceeded all our expectations. Also the location was perfect, surrounded by restaurants, cafes and bars all in the historical section of Florence. If you could give a six star rating I would!
Florence October 2017
What a wonderful place to stay in Florence ! We were two couples visiting Florence for 5 days and delighted with every aspect of La Too Casa a Firenze. It was every bit as attractive as the photos on the website, and wonderfully appointed with every convenience... to include an expresso machine we enjoyed every morning. The kitchen had everything a visiting chef might need. The apartment is within walking distance of all points of interest and yet still enjoys a feeling of being in a local neighborhood. We were met on arrival by Susanna's host and helped with suggestions of things not to miss during our stay as well as restaurant recommendations that only a local would know about. Other niceties included our hosts helping us to locate a taxi to the train station when leaving, avoiding a long wait and possibly missing our train. Susanna and her team of hosts were extremely helpful with every detail from coordinating the trip and contracting the apartment to check out. Thank you, Susanna for helping to make our stay in Florence as wonderful as it was. Terrific memories for sure!!!
A five star apartment!
Florence Left on Oct 9, 2017 for a stay in Oct 2017
We had been looking forward to our visit to Florence for nearly 12 months and this apartment exceeded our high expectations. Located on a small square close to many restaurants and within walking distance of all attractions the area was wonderful. Inside the apartment was even better. Combining medieval character with modern architectural flair nothing had been overlooked. The apartment was fully equipped, spacious, secure and fun to live in. I would love to return someday. Thank you to Susanna and Paolo for their excellent communication and to Phillipe for his welcome and excellent tips on visiting Florence.
Best rental in Florence
Florence Left on Oct 1, 2017 for a stay in Sep 2017
This is an amazing place! To sleep in a medieval tower that had every modern convenience was amazing! This was our last stop of four cities in Italy and by far the best!! I could not be more impressed! The area was quiet but convenient to lots of landmarks by foot. The restaurants near the apartment were fabulous and just looking out of the Windows made me smile. Giorgio met us at the apartment, spoke great English and had a great sense of humor on top of his professionalism! He filled us in on how to get around, call taxi, find market and historical landmarks! He was awesome! The beds were beyond comfy, the showers hot and the coffee was in the pantry in the morning! Slippers were provided to keep the floors clean and the lavender soap..... Oh my! You will not be disappointed in this place, I already want to go back for an extended stay! By far the best taste of Italy!!

Beautiful Apartment in a Great Location
Florence Left on Sep 13, 2017 for a stay in Aug 2017
The apartment was absolutely beautiful! It was centrally located without being in a noisy or congested area so that we were able to sleep peacefully at night. We got some really terrific recommendations from Giorgio (who met us to let us into the apartment) for local restaurants and cafes as well as gelato. We had a very good experience there. We would definitely come back to that apartment again and highly recommend it.

An amazingly restored apartment with every comfort supplied in a location that makes exploring Florence easy. A unique combination of ultra modern living in antique surroundings; just an amazing experience!
Amazing setting for visiting Florence
Florence Left on June 2, 2017 fo a stay in May 2017
We visited three cities and surrounding areas on our first trip to Italy...Venice, Florence and Rome. This was not only our favorite city, but our favorite accommodations! By a wide margin. It started with Susanna responding very quickly (within a few hours) to our request for our stay. She also was very helpful when I asked for help with booking several activities. Booking this apartment, we were wondering how being in a tower would actually be. It was such a unique and charming experience perfectly suited for such a setting in this city of such rich history. The pictures are wonderful, but once you actually see the space and really enjoy it you will love it. The amenities are all very high end. Every space is tastefully done and well equipped for travelers. There is a large window that over looks the square below that is so unique. Open it up and look and listen to the sounds below. Close it up and escape to a storybook setting for a master bedroom. Just fabulous. The square itself is also very nice. Just steps from your very secure apartment you have an amazing fresh fruit and vegetable stand, many restaurants, a full service bank, and a grocery. If you want to bring things back to the apartment for a night in, you could get all the ingredients for a special night in this wonderful place. But why would you want to do that in Florence? One of the best parts of renting this place was being greeted and helped by Giorgio. He showed us the entire apartment and then offered to help us navigate the city. He was so helpful and had such good connections, I would encourage you to do the same. We truly had a wonderful family vacation and enjoyed this space. It added to the experience and I would return in a heartbeat!
Beautiful

A beautiful and spacious apartment in a medieval tower, yet modern and bright. It has an amazing atmosphere and great amenities. The location is perfect for walking to historical sites, as well as lovely markets, restaurants, and shops right at the doorstep. Perfect stay in a beautiful city!
La Dolce Vita!

This apartment is in walking distance to the Uffizi, the Bargello, Il Duomo, Santa Croce, the Chapel of the Magi in Palazzo Medici, Boboli Gardens, and the Palazzo Vecchio to name just a few of the museums Florence offers. Step outside the front door and you can buy milk across the street, fresh fruit and veggies from a stand in the piazza, and a little further up the street is a grocery store. In the piazza there are also multiple restaurants, and gelato is in no short supply! The beds are extremely comfy, with fresh white sheets and towels. There's a washing machine and dryer, separate dining room, large living area, and even an office area that opens up to the square where the voices of Florence, and smells of cooking, waft up through the gorgeous ancient doors that overlook the piazza. I immediately took over this spot as my writing den. In all honesty, I'd rather keep this hidden treasure to myself, because I know the apartment will get booked out quickly, and I want to go back again soon! Can't wait to get back to Florence and this wonderful apartment!

Architettura di classe in un moderno appartamento nel cuore di Firenze.
Florence Left on Mar 8, 2017 for a stay in Feb 2017
Un appartamento impeccabilmente ristrutturato con i colori, gli ampi spazi e gli arredi dedicati ad una clientela cosmopolita, ma nel cuore di Firenze! Varcare la soglia della vecchia torre è già un'emozione. L'attenzione dedicata da Susanna ai minimi dettagli ha reso il nostro soggiorno indimenticabile. Grazie ancora e arrivederci!
A convenient modern oasis
Florence Left on Feb 14, 2017 for a stay in Feb 2017
Few places I have ever stayed in my life compare to what Susanna has created in this medieval tower. The space and decor are incredibly interesting, even fun. However, comfort has not been sacrificed. Though form may at first glance appear to be king, settling back into the sofa or bed; or preparing or enjoying a meal; or showering, one quickly realizes that function is the secret master. Let me assure you that every last single detail has been addressed, to a nearly stunning degree. The location of the apartment is perfect. Whether it's the Uffizi, the Bargello, Piazza della Repebblica, Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Pitti, or one of the thousand amazing restaurants that Firenze has to offer (including hands-down the BEST gluten-free bakery I have enjoyed and the best sandwich my wife has ever had); at Susanna's apartment you are no more than a ten-minute stroll away. This, all while feeling a sense of privacy and solitude that is welcome after dealing with the seeming throngs of other tourists (even in February). I cannot more heartily recommend a stay at this magnificent apartment. When my wife and I return to Florence, we would not think of staying anywhere else. Thank you, Susanna, for creating such a masterpiece of design into which you obviously put so much love. Thank you as well to Giorgio who was incredibly helpful in orienting us to both the apartment and this Thanks magical city. Grazie mille!!!
Florence January 2017
We loved this apartment. We stayed in four different places on our 10 day trip and this was our favorite apartment. It has been meticulously renovated, keeping the charm of the old tower with the most updated amenities. Susanna was wonderful, answering all of our questions and Micheala was charming and explained everything we needed to know when checking in. We highly recommend this apartment and we are already planning our next trip to Florence so we can stay again!
Our very first booking for the Florence apartment back in February 2016

The apartment is stunning! Every amenity you can think of Centrally located, so you can traverse Florence very quickly With the excitement of checking in, there were a couple of questions I had forgotten to ask, Susanna answered immediately! We were given restaurant recommendations, tips on navigating the city, even where to park our car If in Florence, you must rent this apartment We will happily return!

Our first CLOSERTOTHEHEART Guests in Florence
Florence Left on Oct 2, 2016 for a stay in Sept/Oct 2016
We just returned from a week stay at this beautiful apartment. The pictures do not truly do it justice! This apartment is really beautiful - everything was brand new, clean, fresh, modern, and all while being situated within a medieval tower in the center of Piazza Pier Maggione in Florence. The experience of the location is fun and interesting. The bedrooms are nicely done and the bathrooms are gorgeous. Close to everything you need and want in Florence. The two gentlemen that greeted us were gracious and helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this property and will definitely choose this again when we are in Florence!!
