This was by far our favorite place to stay during our 2 week Italian vacation. Forget all the "confusing reception desk" reviews. If you do your homework and are prepared for the 2 locations, which are not very far from each other, it really is no big deal. Before leaving for Italy I Mapquested the "walk" from the train station... More

We arrived at de Lanzi to check in. Everything seemed fine, but when we got to the apartment we realized the hotel had given our escort only one room key. It's an electronic key that you need to open the building door, to exit the elevator corridor, and to access your room. One key among four people just isn't enough,... More

My husband and I rented an apartment for 4 days in April. Check in is at the hotel and then they walk you over to the apartment. Location would be hard to beat. In the centre of the historical district and about a 10-15 minute walk to anything you want to see. Loads of restaurants in the area if you... More

We are very grateful to the "Hotel De Pucci" who cancelled our reservation and refunded us at the last minute after they found they could get more money for their rooms due to a fashion expo. This brought us to the Residence La Repubblica . This newly renovated , 3 bedroom 2 storey apartment is elegantly decorated . The building... More

Great apartment in perfect location for exploring Florence. The place was clean, large, and had all of the important amenities (washing machine, dish washer, stove). This comes in handy for cooking as eating out in Florence is very expensive! One worry I had was that all of the noise in the piazza repubblica would be troublesome. The windows were very... More

Staying at Piazza Republicca is the perfect location to see all the sites in Florence. We greatly enjoyed having an apartment because breakfasts in Italy are generally bad, and we were able to buy and cook American breakfast. It was a five minute walk from the Uffizzi Gallery and the river, plus the streets were closed to cars on the... More

2 adults & 2 young children (3 & 9 months). The check in process is frustrating, having to go to Hotel De Lanzi - MORE than just a few steps from the property. We buzzed at the front door of the Apartments and a man from the hotel came and helped us with our luggage up the stairs to the... More

My friends and I stayed here the one night before we moved on and the room was new, clean and large with a little kitchenette. Bathroom was nice as well. It's wonderfully located in the Piazza Repubblica and the view from our window was great - overlooking the piazza. It was also noise proof. The only odd thing was that... More

The apartment was in a great location, on one of the main squares, with cafes and resturants near by, the square came to life at night with music.
