This superb apartment is on the third floor, reached up gently sloping stone steps. It has two special bonuses: a delightful terrace and air conditioning - essential in the hotter months! The owners are a sweet Florentine couple and they take a real interest in ensuring that everything is perfect in this apartment for guests to really enjoy their stay.

The apartment is situated in the synagogue area, really handy for the markets of Piazza dei Ciompi (antiques and nick-nacks) and Sant’Ambrogio (fresh, cheap produce) and the shops of Borgo La Croce. It’s a diner’s paradise with tens of restaurants nearby from elegant Cibreo to humble take-aways. The duomo and the “tourist centre” of Florence is a mere five minute walk.

The apartment is on two levels. The main level has the sitting room with dining table, the well-provided kitchen, the two spotless double bedrooms and the first bathroom. Up a flight of stairs is the second sitting room with single bed-settee for a fifth guest. There’s also a private bathroom with shower for the person sleeping here. Then of course there’s the terrace, up a different flight of stairs from the main level - well it is panoramic!

In short, our Sant’Ambrogio apartment is Florentine perfection!

It was really good that the owners were able to accommodate our early arrival, this meant we had no problems with our luggage and getting straight into our holiday.

The apartment is situated in an excellent location, 5 mins. walk from Santa Croce and only a little further to Palazzo della Signoria and all the sights and sounds of Florence. In the apartment, even though it was February, it was quite cosy.

The rooftop terrace was excellent and we even had an afternoon in the sun eating and drinking ... which is what Italy is all about after all!

We left feeling that we'd had another "home from home" experience, courtesy of Summer's Leases and our break was made even easier when the owners, taking pity on 2 non-Italian speakers, booked a taxi to the airport for us.

PS  free high speed internet access was fantastic!

Ways to keep warm? The twins, Brunelleschi & Giotto

We loved the apartment. The location was perfect for all of the city and the terrace was a real bonus. The facilities were very good and the lovely owners left a good welcome pack, more than enough for a drink and breakfast the next morning. We had a problem when a door key broke but it was sorted out with no fuss at all. The beds were most comfortable and the linen very good.

We loved the markets nearby and the small artisan shops etc. It was friendly, a taste of the “real” Florence.

Margaret Stuart, Dumfries.

It was a wonderful apartment, and we enjoyed our stay very much. We only can recommend this apartment.

No problems at all getting to the apartment and we were warmly welcomed the minute we arrived.

Dorte Grandt and Nina Meyer, Hellerup, Denmark.

The property was in an excellent location, and offered an excellent alternative to hotels in Florence. It was our third visit to Florence, and an excellent base.

Matthew Brown, Belfast.

The apartment was very comfortable - wonderful location with a perfect view over the city from the terrace. The local market is only less than five minutes away and has a wide selection of fresh food - meat, fish, cheeses, bread and fruit and vegetables. Owners very friendly and helpful, providing a few provisions on arrival and carrying luggage up and down the stairs.

We had a wonderful holiday, thank you.
