Tom's Florence Walled Garden: Top Floor Oasis on Historic Walls

This is a beautiful apartment with a rooftop garden and seating area. The furnishings and artwork are first-rate, with framed Ferragamo scarves adorning the walls. The kitchen is well stocked. AC worked well. Water pressure and showers were very good. The best part of our stay was the owner, Tommaso. He was the most gracious and helpful owner we have ever worked with. He gave us numerous suggestions and has a beautifully written and complete guide to Florence for his guests. In addition, we would randomly pepper him with questions throughout the day regarding places to eat or visit, and he would respond immediately. His check-in is outstanding, and he attended to us as we departed. Just a heads-up: this is a walk-up; there is no lift. That being said, I would highly recommend this property in Florence.

5 stars- perfectly impeccable! Our stay at the Florence Walled Garden could not have been more delightful. Tomasso met us upon check in and spent a great deal of time telling us about the neighborhood, all the features of the condo, and making sure we were settled in well. The condo was extremely clean- my friend and I both are very particular about that and we both agreed- so clean and tidy. The location is perfect- right across the river from the hustle and bustle- so close to everything, but the garden was a quiet, peaceful reprieve from the many people on the city side of the river. San Nicollo is a charming neighborhood with great places to eat and shop. Tomasso checked on us often- gave fantastic restaurant and tour recommendations. He brought us a plate of Delicious cookies from a special bakery, and gifted us with beautiful leather luggage tags from his favorite leather store. We had them painted with our monograms and of course bought other beautiful pieces from there as well (Parri’s Leather near the Ponte Vecchio). Tomasso made taxi reservations when needed- that was very helpful several times when our legs just needed a break! Overall we could not have been more pleased with our garden experience. There were fresh flowers blooming and every herb you could want to add to any meal. We appreciated having olive oil, coffee, and the basics on hand in the kitchen. Loved having a washer and dryer too. Tomasso and his beautiful condo are true GEMS! Perfection!!

San Niccolo is a beautiful, safe and friendly neighbourhood.Tom was an amazing host and was beyond helpful in ensuring our stay in Florence was truly memorable! Thank you Tom for everything!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Tommosso’s apartment in Florence. From the moment we arrived, he went above and beyond to make us feel welcome—personally touring us through the apartment and sharing the unique details that make the space so special.Tommosso’s hospitality truly stood out. He kindly helped us book lunches, dinners, and taxis throughout our stay, making everything seamless and stress-free. His warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care made a lasting impression and elevated our entire experience.The apartment itself is perfectly located on the quieter side of the river, which we loved. It offered the best of both worlds—easy access to fantastic restaurants while still providing peaceful, quiet mornings and evenings away from the crowds.We would highly recommend Tommosso’s apartment to anyone visiting Florence and cannot wait to return ourselves. It was truly a memorable and exceptional stay.
