Apartment holiday rentals in Santa Sofia

We had a wonderful stay at Caterina’s apartment. I stayed here with my two teenagers. Caternia was very accommodating for our arrival and departure. The apartment is spotless and the palazzo is beautiful. Truly an oasis of calm within easy walking distance to major landmarks. I highly recommend it.

Sonia is a very friendly person. Too much. Always very attentive to our needs. He even anticipated them. I would come back. I recommend it 100%. Thank you Sonia. You are one of the best memories of Florence.

The apartment is beautiful, very well cared for and very clean. The location is a 20min walk from the center of Florence. Lorenzo made it very easy to arrive at the apartment and was aware of everything at all times. My pleasure!!!

That’s Alberto for hosting us in your lovely apartment! It was central to everything. Your recommendations for restaurants was fantastic. We enjoyed the neighborhood and the area around. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Andrea was such a great host who really cares about his guest and guest needs. Infact he was thoughtful that all amenities were already arranged that we didnt need to ping him during our stay. He was concerned about the time we shall reach and Mattia was already there to welcome us and showed us everything around the apartment. Love Firenze and hope to back one day. And looking forward to stay at the apartment again. Thanks Andrea! Our kids loved the blue spiral staircase! :-) Daryl

I cannot recommend this place enough. The design style alone was a dream. It’s even more beautiful in person. The neoclassical frescoes really set the tone for the timeless beauty there is to experience during a stay in the heart of Florence. The Duomo is just a few minutes walk, as is the Uffizi Gallery, and Galleria Accademia. Even Piazzale Michelangelo was not a long walk. There are so many fantastic restaurants and the shopping can’t be beat. Grab a reservation at View On Art just a few blocks down to see breathtaking views of the Duomo. Our host was top notch from beginning to end. He assisted us with absolutely anything we needed. He provided exquisite local recommendations, arranged our pick up car from the train station, and provided crystal clear instructions with a video for checking in to the apartment. He was always responsive and courteous. I would not stay anywhere else in Florence, I mean that sincerely.

We had a great time, although we did not spend much time in the apartment! Everything was clean, well presented, and comfortable. Beds were comfortable, and kitchen well equipped - although the quantities seemed a bit random with lots of plates but just two mugs; We also had to search quite hard to find various items - but it had everything we needed. Lucia who met us was friendly and helpful. We did feel it was a little expensive, but appreciate that in a tourist area like Florence prices are going to be inflated. We also felt that a 200€ cleaning fee, when we were there for only 4 days, was also steep. Having said that, the apartment was spotless.

This is the 2nd time ive stayed in this apartment. As before, Elly was an excellent host and so made everything easy for us. The train station and tram stops are a short walk. all of the major tourists spots are very close and walkable from here, and there are so many lovely bars and restaurants near by. The apartment is well looked after, clean and very comfortable. The next time i return to Florence i will try and stay here

We were guests of Francesco and Pamide during the Easter holidays 2025, I can only confirm the excellent reviews, already during the interlocutory phase, which preceded the reservation, they paid attention to our needs, providing immediate answers and putting us immediately at ease. Upon our arrival, agreed on the basis of our schedule needs, and precise that it was Easter, Francesco waited for us on the avenue in front of the real estate unit, a very appreciated gesture. The apartment looks very well, cared for and clean, it is equipped with a pleasant living area that if necessary guarantees an additional 2 beds, the rooms that are 2 guarantee 5 comfortable beds, it is also equipped with a beautiful and large terrace overlooking the pedestrian area, which allows you to dine in tranquility but also to spend an evening with friends in complete privacy. All appliances are available, from the microwave to the washing machine, Hosts beyond expectations

Apartment as described at a convenient location. In walking distance of the old city centre with all sights and museums. Lots of restaurants, supermarket and bakery nearby. We recommend Penta Bistro around the corner and Caffé Rainer with their bakery. Our kids enjoyed the playground which was 2 minutes away.

We stayed at Daria and Gabriele’s place in Florence, with the kids, it was exactly as described and easy to get to and walk around the city. Super place—highly recommended for families looking for a local experience in the heart of Florence with style! They were super helpful along the stay ! Thank you we will definitely do this again!

This place was awesome! Perfect location from the train station (5-10 minute walk). Such a fun place. We use the hot tub every night! The painting on the ceiling is almost 400 years old! The only downside is he can get a little noisy with the road next-door…. But I bet many places are like that in Florence. Just book it!

The apartment is in a very old house constructed over 800 years ago. I loved the old style of the apartment, which reminded me of the old history of Florence. Sandro is a great host, they kept a wine bottle as a welcome gift, which is not something many hosts would do. There are really good restaurants around the apartment and close to public commute. We were having trouble finding a taxi to the station as it was a busy time, Sandro and his wife tried helping us to find a taxi by calling them.

You can tell this place is loved. Elena grew up there. There are so many nice touches you don't usually see. Very comfortable. The only, and I mean only, drawback is the intermittent internet connection. Resetting the router fixes this most of the time, but not always. Unless you must have wifi all the time, absolutely stay here.

Apartment with a small garden located in an elegant and quiet neighborhood, with a beautiful park in front. Not far from the center and the sea. Very well divided between living area, bedrooms and bathrooms. Equipped with every comfort. We had a pleasant vacation and we hope to return

My mum and I had an amazing stay at Mario’s place. It was really comfortable, clean and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need (even umbrellas which came in handy on a rainy day!). Claudio was an amazing and really friendly host, showing us around the apartment and explaining how everything worked! It was also super easy to get into Firenze city centre- either walking or 3 stops on the tram. We visited 2 of the restaurants recommended by Claudia which we LOVED. We honestly felt right at home at the apartment and would have loved to have stayed longer!

Absolutely fantastic location… just walk down a street in any direction and you’ll find incredible food, shops, and gelato within a few blocks. If you open the windows in the evening, you might even hear the sound of cello performers or opera singers in the square at the end of the street. It’s truly an idyllic neighborhood. Our host was incredibly proactive and a great communicator. A++ I wish the internet was a bit faster, but that’s Italy… and let’s be honest, this is not a place you come to work remote… It’s a place you come to explore and find serendipitous experiences you could never plan for. If you do need to get some remote work done, I recommend stopping by The Social Hub, which is a 20 minute walk away and a really cool co-working space. All in all… location location location! That’s what matters, and this Airbnb nails it.

Central location. Close to everything including good restaurants around the corner and a supermarket 5 mins by foot. Very spacious for a family of 4. Please note that there are 60 stairs to get to the apartment (no lift). Host was very responsive. Would definitely return. Grazie Rossella!

Paola is a great host! Everything was clean and perfect and the view was breathtaking! I 100% recommend!

Franco & family were outstanding hosts. Helped us with reservations & shopping recommendations. You must visit his leather stores. We all bought gorgeous coats & bags. Apt. Was beautiful in great location. Wish we could stay longer. Do not hesitate to book this.

Massimiliano is a great host. Lives in the apartment next door so very easy to get inside and readily available to help. The apartment has a bit of that old school charm that we personally enjoyed. Clean apartment, clean bedding, bedrooms are good size (one bedroom with large bed, fit two adults and a baby), and the other bedroom has three single beds. The living area has a small couch in it (fits two adults max) and a small TV. The only two things I would advise on are that the elevator doesn’t work to get you to the third floor, so be ready to carry your luggage up two flights of stairs. The second, floor is screeching in the living area anytime you step on it. Didn’t bother us, but flagging for you. Finally, the location is about a 10 minute walk away from the actual city centre. Again, not a big deal for us since we are a young active family but just to make you aware. There are some amazing coffee shops along the way though so we did enjoy the stroll. Overall great stay, thanks!

Luciano made this location superb. The unit is very clean and large. Plus, the terrace is a great addition for overlooking a portion of the city and getting some fresh air!

10/10 stay at Matteo's place. Excellent location overlooking the river and the Ponte Vecchio bridge. Surprisingly quiet despite being in the center of all the action and a great place for a glass of wine where you could get a reprieve from the busyness of the city while still feeling like you are a part of it. Matteo and his team were exceptional in their communication and even offered to make reservations for us at their favorite restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this AirBNB!!!

Mirko’s place was the perfect spot in Florence. It was a beautiful place nestled right in the middle of everything. We never walked more than 10 minutes to find what we were looking for. Giselle was amazing and there for anything we needed and any questions we had. We will definitely be staying there on our next trip to Florence.
