Casa Santa Rita is a very nice place to stay in Florence. Excellent quite location, very close the city center. Paolo, the owner, was always willing to help and provide suggestions about the main attractions and local gems to have a meal.
Highly recommend !
This is a house full of character and history but with all modern convenveniences. Paolo is a charming host who provides you with all the important information to get around town and its highlights. He makes you feel very welcome and even went out of his way to return us a cellular we forgot in the room, taking it to the station.

The apartment Casa San Paolino was the perfect choice for our holiday in Florence.
It's a cosy and romantic hideaway in the centre of town. The apartment is only five minutes walk from the beautiful river Arno, Florence's central rail station and walking distance to all the main sites of interest.
We were greeted at the station by the lovely Stefano. The charming host accompanied us to the apartment and our way to the flat he shared his knowledge of the city and gave us great tips on places to eat.
The apartment is bigger than shown in the photos and immaculately clean.
We highly recommend Casa San Paolino to other couples and all travellers.
Dear Stefano thank you for your warm hospitality!

The 'converted' 13thc convent is spacious, spotless, quiet, as advertised, and convenient (walking) to all things Florence! Paolo gave us the best lodging & city orientation of any during our month long travels throughout Italy. He is respectful, responsive, and everything you could ask for in someone renting their place to guests. We highly recommend him and this place (he has others also, which we did not see).

Our appartment, Santa Maria Novella, was so lovely, and very conveniently located (just five minutes walk to the Duomo, etc.). The appartment was not only well appointed, but there was also such attention to detail: decorative cushions and throws; romantic light fixtures; an excellent library; and tea, coffee, etc. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I have had the luxury to sleep in. And despite that there is a bar infront of the appartment, the sound proofed windows cut out all street noise. A final mention must be given to the owner of Florence Holiday Homes, Paolo. He is a fine gentleman, very kind, very correct, and very available. I enjoyed very much the few minutes that we had to talk, and his knowledge of the arts and his fine city is boundless. I would highly reccommend Florence Holiday Homes, I am sure every one of the apartments are equally as lovely as the one that we stayed in. And your host Paolo, if you know little about Florence, will guide you to all the best places to visit.

This was our second time using Florence Holiday Homes as our first experience was so positive. Casa San Giovanni is very roomy for 2, is beautifully modern, simple yet homely inside. It's on a vibrant street but out back is a peaceful sanctuary. Stefano walked us from the station and is very generous with his local knowledge and tips for a fully-rounded stay, all of which are in writing in a guide he and his brother have made. Thank you for a second time!
My wife and I were looking for a nice, centrally-located apartment in Florence, and chose Casa Santa Rita. We had been to Florence previously, but stayed on the edge of town.
The owner, Paolo, greeted us warmly, and made sure everything was explained to us in great detail, including things to do, where to eat, etc. He is a very pleasant person.
The accommodation was exactly what we were hoping for, and we are already looking forward to staying there again, so much so that we will book the rest of our travel around the availability of this apartment. The apartment is very comfortable, and we enjoyed the time we were there. It is not a large apartment, but there is still plenty of space to move around. It is in a very quiet location, yet is only a short walk from the Ponte Vecchio, and therefore, all the main attractions.
