Um apartamento simplesmente maravilhoso!
Este apartamento que aluguei foi espetacular. Confesso que não sabia o que iria encontrar, mas a sua localização, a sua estrutura, a funcionalidade foram extraordinárias. Extremamente bem equipado, com rede de wi-fi super rápida, e seus cômodos muito bem distribuídos. Uma cozinha moderna e tudo muito bem cuidado. Andando a pé até o Duomo são apenas 5 minutos da residência, imaginem o privilégio, sem falar de seu proprietário, Fábio, um sujeito extremamente versátil, educado, que muito me auxiliou quando precisei. Minha nota para esta acomodação é 10. Grazie mille Fábio per tutti. Show.

Oswaldo foi um convidado exemplar, muito respeitoso e amigável. Foi um imenso prazer poder recebê-lo em Florença e conhecê-lo (virtualmente) como pessoa. Espero que sua estadia no meu apartamento tenha contribuído positivamente para aprender a língua italiana que confesso já fala muito bem. Espero que você escolhe novamente o meu apartamento em sua próxima viagem a Florença. Muito obrigado! Fábio

Stylish apartment in prime location with a very helpful owner.
Our first contact was with the owner Fabio who could not have been more helpful. I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone going to stay in Florence. It was stylish, comfortable and in an excellent location. It was great to have air conditioning and a washing machine as well as very comfortable beds. Fabio left clear instructions on how things worked and useful tips for restaurants etc. A perfect place to stay in a stunning city. Thank you Fabio.

Lovely little place in a great location!
We only spent 2 nights at La Marmora Elegant, but had a great stay. It is a cute, clean and modern apartment in a great, central location, only a 5 minute walk to Accademia and about a 10 minute walk from the Duomo. The kitchen was well equipped for our basic needs and the WiFi worked efficiently. The only negative is that the bedroom with the two single beds faces the main road, so got quite noisy at times, but overall, the apartment was very comfortable and super clean! Silvia was very efficient and prompt with replies, meeting us at an agreed time for check in. She was also extremely helpful, showing us how everything worked in the apartment and she also provided us with a map of Florence, suggesting must-see places and how to get to them! Thank you for a making our city break to Florence an enjoyable one!

Thank you for the positive review. I also wanted to thank you for leaving the apartment in great order. As for the second bedroom we are studying the best solution so the noise can be limited even further. Unfortunately this is an issue that regards most of the apartment located in the city center.

Perfect in every way
We spent 6 nights at La Mamora Elegant and had a wonderful stay. Both Fabio and Silvia were very helpful from the time of booking all the way through to meeting us at the apartment. Silvia showed us how everything worked and even offered to help us with taxi bookings if needed. The apartment has everything that you could possibly need for a very comfortable stay. The location is perfect as we were able to walk everywhere. There is a bus close by if needed but we felt very safe walking in the area. It is about 20 minutes walk from the SMN train station however if you have luggage it is a quick taxi ride of €9.00 The photos perfectly show the apartment as it is. The bedroom with the 2 single beds faces the street so can be a little bit noisy but most traffic is quiet by 9.30pm The master bedroom is at the back of the property and was very quiet. I'd highly recommend staying here.

The Casta family was absolutely lovely and nice. The Communication prior to their arrival was excellent. The took great care of the apartment! I apologize for the mosquitoes and a bit of noise in the second bedroom. Unfortunately this is a common problem for apartments located in proximity of Florence center.

Great Place !
Great location and safe area About 12 min walk from the center of the city so very convenient. Bus stop also is just a few feet away from the apt building Apartment is very clean and modern and well lighted. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you may need. WiFi and TV work well. The apartment building management changed the outside building entrance lock unexpectedly and the apartment/flat owner and his agent were able to get us the new keys without us having to change our sight seeing plans in any way. They also let us keep our bags in the apartment for a few hours after our checkout which was very much appreciated (one thing to keep in mind when visiting Italy is that the cleaning fee, which varies per apartment, and the city tax per person, need to be paid in cash when you check in). Both Fabio and Sylvia were very prompt, courteous, helpful, and easy to work with. We were glad to be able to stay there and would be happy to stay here again.

Location, Location, Location!!!
La Marmora Elegant is a wonderful apartment located right down the street from the Academia Gallery in Florence. The photographs accurately reflect the apartment, which is super clean and comfortable. Our stay in Florence was in the middle of our vacation, so I really appreciated having a washer/dryer. We stayed five nights and toured the city of Florence, took a bike ride in Tuscany, enjoyed the Cinque Terra, and Pisa. La Marmora Elegant was a perfect base camp for our many adventures.

A Great Location
We very much enjoyed our stay at this apartment in Florence. The location was perfect. When we came out the door and looked right, we could see the Duomo and the Campanile several blocks away. We walked to everything including a grocery store and restaurants. The apartment itself was very nice and clean and we received help calling a taxi to the airport, etc. The only negative was the flight of stairs up to the apartment. It could be challenging for some, especially when arriving with luggage. We would stay here again.

Fantastic condo with great location and service
Location is great right by Michaelangelo's David and a quick walk to the Duomo. Condo was recently remodeled so it is very new and clean. Service was top notch with super easy entry and exit. We highly recommend it!

About the neighbourhood
The apartment is located in the noblest neighborhood of Florence. It is very safe and quiet day and night. Only 5 minutes walk from the historical center.
Getting around
There is a bus stop just a few meters away, from where you can take buses for all main location, including train station of Santa Maria Novella which is also reachable with a 20min walk (1.5 km).
Access
Car not needed
How to get there
By train: the condominium is only 10 minutes drive from Santa Maria Novella train station. We suggest taking a cab (taxi) if you have luggage. Please be aware that Florence has narrows sidewalks which make it difficult to carry a large suitcase or even a small carry on. By car: we suggest not to drive in Florence due to the limited traffic zone called ZTL. Because the condominium is inside this ZTL you may find it difficult to park. Not to mention that you need a permit to get inside the ZTL unless you choose to park in one of the private parking located inside the ZTL. Make sure to notify the valet parking who will send your car plate photo to the local police. This is probably the best way to avoid a fine.
