Glicine, Santo Spirito
Hidden quite gem on the vibrant Oltrarno
Sleeps 3 / Bedrooms 2 / Bathrooms 1
Diana's assistant met me upon arrival. Her energy and knowledge of the area was great and she made my family and I feel so welcomed. She took the time to explain details including showing us on a map where we were, and pointing out hot spots to check out - as first timers in Florence, this was a huge help and undoubtedly saved us time. Diana has gone over and above in ensuring her guests have everything as soon as they step into the apartment - from a binder full of very useful information about local restaurants, shops etc. to all kitchen amenities you could want, to ensuring there is coffee for you - her attention to detail was amazing. The apartment was clean and the location was spectacular - we were close to everything (I would say within 10 minutes for most things, 5 minutes for fantastic restaurants and local shops), but we weren't in the heart of the tourist district so it was quiet at nights and not overcrowded on the street in the day. The patio was perfect for sipping wine during downtime. I highly recommend staying here and should I return to Florence in the future, will stay here again without hesitation. @airbnb
Diana and her team were great. They responded to any queries promptly and were very knowledgeable about the area which by the way was fantastic. I really enjoyed my time in Florence and will be sure to visit again in the future and will without doubt be using their services again. Thank you. @airbnb
I had a wonderful time at this beautiful, cute apartment with the greatest kitchen. Loved the location, far enough from all the touristy places but close enough to still walk to all the places. So many good food choices right in the neighbourhood. Very happy with my stay.
Diana was very helpful and made lots of suggestions. One was about our car and how it would be wise to book it into a nearby car park. Florence can be a nightmare if you arrive by car so getting the car safely dealt with on arrival helped a lot. We were very happy with the apartment and liked the feel of the place. Ours was a November stay so we didn't use the terrace but we appreciated even so as a huge window allows you to look out onto it when you are inside. We are regular visitors to Florence but this was the first stay in this district. It suited us perfectly as we liked the mix of cafés, workshops, small food stores, antique shops etc. It's away from the popular tourist haunts which is an advantage. It feels real. We can recommend this apartment unreservedly.
We loved this apartment. Santo Spirito was the perfect place to stay in Florence. Heaps of amazing restaurants and shops close by and walking distance to everywhere else. Not too touristy so the restaurants were authentic without being overpriced. The Acacia team were always available to help. Highly recommend. @abnb
The apartment is as luxurious as the photos suggest - quiet and cool - situated in the back streets - near small artisan shops and bars - close to a square for great food and drink (and breakfasts!). 20 min easy walk to Uffizi. Communication easy and welcome was prompt. Diana very kindly and quickly arranged taxi for our last day, when our Italian wasn't good enough!! Many reference/art books for use - to help plan your days. Great place. @airbnb
Look no further! I stayed in Florence at another location that was great but this was fantastic! Being on the ground floor was a bonus and it was quieter at night due to the rooms not being close to the road. One of the best features is the outdoor area and the beautiful glass window. It was so nice to sit outside and have a wine and snack. The living space and kitchen were perfect. The amenities were all you needed for a comfortable stay. I needed to use my laptop for work and the wi- fi worked fine. The location is also wonderful. It was so easy to just walk out your door and be close to everything. There was a nice market just down the street as well as indoor restaurants and ones that had outdoor seating. All of our meals were excellent in the immediate area surrounding the home. Diana is a wonderful host! We were having trouble booking a taxi to the airport and she got immediately back to us and took care of it. You will not be disappointed. It really felt like home and we of course didn't want to leave. Enjoy your stay! @abnb
