The rooms and overall size was much larger than a hotel, and the cost was about the same (it was less than a hotel room). We were able to spread out some in the large living room and if we wanted to cook we could. We ended up not using the kitchen much, but its nice as an option if... More

The appartment was spacious but everything was a bit old and not very well maintained. The equipment in the kitchen was about OK, but the absorber was missing. The bathroom was big and clean, but overall I have stayed in cleaner hotels. The staff was helpful, providing all needed information and help. There is a parking available, but you have... More

Went for a one week Easter holiday with my family [family of 4]. The apartment i slarge enough and is kept clean. Cleaning is carried out every day. It is only 20 min away-on foot- from the centre of Florence [the old part]. We enjoyed our stay at this hotel.

My sister and I stayed at Residence Porta al Prato for 5 days in May 2011 and found it very comfortable and more than adequate. The thing that impressed me most was the excellent service Sandra provided from the first email I sent from Australia enquiring about accomodation for the two of us. The staff at the Residence were happy... More

I stayed in this residence for a week in July. I had my doubts when I booked it, because it could be far from the centre. But then I thought: never mind, you can walk everyday about 30 minutes in the morning is this beautiful town. Unfortunatelly, it was not so far from the centre (I was in a formazione,... More

this hotel looks like it has the makings to be a wonderful place to stay. it's alot of DIY however. if you ask the right questions, you will get better service from the staff. it's VERY spacious! it did seem as though it needed to be aired out. it was a bit stuffy but the breeze was very nice and...

We arrived by car to the 1972 built apartment complex to good service with spacious apartments and a nice city view. The 70's look and smell gives the room and its furniture an almost dated look but when examined, we noted that the rooms were clean. At 85 euro, the one bedroom apartment we booked represented great value (for Florence),... More

Generally very good value for money so close to Florence centre. With trams just at end of street, tabaccias on every corner and staff helpful when asked. Parking costs extra €10 per day but very necessary and secure. We found apartment very comfortable, clean and spacious with views over rooftops of Florence.

Very nice location - we stayed there in an one-bedroom apartment, with 2 kids that were able to stay comfortably in the living room. We arrived by car, and the hotel has the parking garage w/ keyed entry. From here, it is possible to either take the tram, bus, or walk to the city centre. The area is at the... More
