Classic structure in an ancient Florentine villa, elegant and discreet, very clean. Very helpful manager, quiet and peaceful location, internal parking very convenient. Not cheap but in line with the average prices of Florence. The only lack is an internal elevator (the villa is on 3 floors), which, given the ancient structure of the villa, would not be installable. Sweet breakfast abundant and minimal but sufficient in the savory. Definitely recommendable.

The structure is beautiful with a large garden but too makeshift: the service should be reviewed a bit. We booked a triple room on the top floor where we suffered from the presence of mosquitoes. Given the beautiful garden, mosquito nets should be considered. In the bathroom, there were ants and a bit of mold on the ceiling. Only a small shower gel was provided along with the towels. In the booking from the website, breakfast was mentioned as included but it actually wasn't. At the reception, we were greeted by a person (I believe a cleaning staff) who struggled to be understood in Italian. Really a shame: it takes just a little to make the structure a bit more comfortable in the services while maintaining the originality of the Florentine villa.

stayed from 06/24/2023 to 06/25/2023

The answer from the host:
Ciao Valeria, ci spiace per tutti gli inconvenienti che hai trovato. nel frattempo la gestione è cambiata e abbiamo lavorato per eliminare i difetti che hai riscontrato. Anche la persona che hai conosciuto, sempre presente nello staff, ha migliorato la conoscenza dell'Italiano ed è sempre più solare e disponibile nel soddisfare le necessità degli ospiti. Flora.

Very nice place, very nice people and very good starting point to explore Florence. Thanks to the lovely Ape Rosa Relais property and the team, it was the best holiday in Italy.

This was such a lovely property, really felt like a Tuscan hideaway! The 3 flights of stairs were a little difficult with big suitcases and it's pretty removed from the city center, but we loved everything else about it.

Ideal to enjoy a stay in Florence out of the central noise. This is a countryside style villa located 15 minutes by bus or train from the center. The garden is very nice and extremely quiet, the staff are helpful and kind.

Characterful Florentine residence overlooking the city. Easy to reach by car, tram, and/or bus. Perfect stay in this countryside setting. Our room with a garden view had everything we needed.

I apologize, I had forgotten the review. Super stay, great room, very comfortable beds, excellent food, also in the evening, very kind staff, charming owner, beautiful palace. Something truly special.

The structure is beautiful, in a quiet place surrounded by greenery. We chose Ape Rosa Relais because we needed a parking space for an event we attended at the Stibbert Museum. It takes about 50 minutes on foot to reach the city center, but it's doable. The girl at the reception was very kind to allow us to leave the car the next day as well. I rated the quality/price ratio with a 7 because I would have preferred to spend less than 98 euros + tourist tax; I hope that prices are lower in another period of the year to be able to come back, but staying longer.

The answer from the host:
Gentile Paola, La ringraziamo tantissimo per il suo feedback! Speriamo di rivedervi presto a Firenze! Un caloroso saluto da tutto lo staff!
