“*A Room With a View* - Silvia's apartment is the most wonderful place to stay in Firenze. It's location in the cool Piazza Spirito Santo provides great atmosphere in the heart of the city. This charming apartment is one of the loveliest places I've ever stayed. The view across the rooftops to a tree covered landscape is breathtaking. It is so very quiet and peaceful, a retreat from the busy streets of Florence. The local area has fantastic restaurants and bars, and the Ponte Vecchio is just a 5 minute walk. The apartment kitchen is well stocked with all appliances and equipment required to cook. The space was spotlessly clean, comfortable and the decor is thoughtful and quirky. It is a very personalised space with beautiful items and curios. Silvia was a pleasure to communicate with and I look forward to welcoming her to London. This was my first 'Home Swap' experience and it was perfect. I look forward to arranging more true and personal travel adventures in the future. x Thank you, Silvia x”

About our home
The building is from 1200 and belonged to Cosimo Ridolfi, the famous founder of Accademia dei Georgofili.
The apartment is about 70 mq with a beautiful bedroom, a sunny living room with a view, a spacious and fully equipped kitchen, and a luxury bathroom.
At my place you will find a unique mix of antique and modern pieces collected all around during my travels. I have been working all my life in the design field so I have personally taken care of the interior decoration of the house, which has been totally renovated in October 2016.
I have restored the ancient floorings and the original materials of the house, I have worked with light and stronger colors, very soft lights so you will be immersed in a cozy, authentique and relaxed atmosphere... I hope you will definitely feel at home!!
The bedroom is 15 sq.m with almost 4 m height ceilings, and two windows: one that looks out onto the building stairs and a big electronic skylight.
There's a king size brand new canopy bed with a memory foam mattress, a small desk and a spacious wardrobe.
