Perfect Location… and true time machine!

We were in Florence in October and had perfect weather, so really were out and about the entire time. This property is historic and we found it special to stay in a place that is so authentic. The location is incredible and just footsteps from historic spots in the city center.

Perfect location

We really enjoyed our stay. The location is amazing and allows for easy access to all the major sites. We felt safe and secure, and even though it was in the middle of a busy area it was quiet at night. The unit is well equipped with lots of space. The air conditioning works great which was very nice during July!

Perfect location to enjoy Florence. Step into the history and all that Florence has to offer the moment you step outside the beautiful wooden doors. Convenient to all of the must sees.

We loved this location of this property. We especially enjoyed the history. The interior of the unit was just a bit dark. It could use a couple of extra end table lamps but that really did not detract from our visit. It was a great unit.

Incredible Time at the Time Machine

We loved the apartment we rented while visiting our daughter who is studying abroad in Florence. It is an old palace and right on the Palazzo Vecchio. It was such a perfect location...truly in the heart of the city. It had charm, lovely pictures, the front doors to the building where gorgeous and twenty feet high! We highly recommend.

Great location and nice apartment for two couples

We had a great stay at the Time Machine, where you enter through palace doors! The place was really cool. The furnishings are a bit older and worn, but how much time are you spending in the place when Piazza della Signoria is right outside your door? Better to hang out at one of the restaurants or bars on the square and look out onto the Fountain of Neptune, David replica, or the Palazzo Vecchio! Such a cool place! Definitely recommend!
