Simply Stunning Florence Stay!
From the moment we arrived at the door we was met warmly by the hosts of this truly stunning apartment, Ilkay & Ayla. They both were so welcoming and very proud of their magical roof top apartment which dates back to the 12th Century.
This apartment does not want for anything, it has been renovated with great care and everything you see and touch is of superb quality. Everywhere was beautifully clean and not a speck of dust to be seen anywhere. There is so much space on offer - the lounge seating and the superb large bed are extremely comfortable with lovely bedding & pillows too.
The location is within 100m of the famous Ponte Vecchio bridge but is also very quiet and peaceful. The views from the lovely balcony are exceptional - positioned overlooking the river and the Duomo is also less than a 10 minute walk door to door.
Our hosts Ilkay & Ayla were very very helpful in providing recommendations of good restaurants and advice in assisting us with transportation from the airport on arrival and the central train station on our departure.
Our visit to Florence was part of our Honeymoon - when we booked via the HomeAway site I had mentioned very breifly that we was on a special holiday (that was back in early February) - nothing more was mentioned or said. When we arrived we was blown away by both Ilkay & Ayla’s thoughtfulness & generosity as they had so delightfully decorated the room (see pictures in the gallery) with 20 red balloons, and provided a lovely tray, which had a bottle of sparking wine, chocolates and Bride & Groom glass decorations - truly a fantastic and amazing surprise for us which we will never forget - we thank you both again from our hearts.
If you want to have a stay to remember in the magnificent city of Florence with wonderful facilities, out of this world views of the river privacy and surroundings - look no further. This is the one for you!!
