Accommodation on Expedia but NO reply from host regarding my booking; despite a number of messages sent. Warning that driving through the entrance gate is challenging; and is only possible with a small vehicle. The villa is charming, old world with a lovely garden and nice breakfast. Spacious room and has a lovely bath tub. Good value for anyone needing to be near Careggi hospital❣️

Overall, we had a good stay. The welcome was kind and friendly, and we appreciated the effort to make us feel comfortable from the start. The setting is charming, with decor that feels truly authentic and thoughtfully done, giving the place a warm and unique character. However, there are a few things to be aware of. The walls between rooms are quite thin, so noise travels easily — we could clearly hear our neighbor snoring during the night. The bed was okay, but not the most comfortable we’ve experienced. Also, there are no mosquito nets on the windows, which made it a bit challenging as we had to deal with quite a few mosquitoes. Despite these points, the place still has its charm, and with a few improvements, it could be an even better experience.

2/10 Poor

We were so excited for our stay at Ape Rosa, as my mother is from Florence and used to live nearby. The place definitely has classic Italian charm and is in a fantastic setting. However, we discovered so many issues that we had to check out after only one night. The bathroom had dozens of ants, both dead and alive, primarily in the shower so we couldn’t use the shower unless we wanted to step all over ants. We were also concerned about keeping any food in the room or in our bags because of the ants. Above the shower were 6” long cobwebs full of dead insects. The floors were filthy and had very clearly not been cleaned properly. The wardrobe doors were so worn out that they were nearly impossible to open or close. There were no drawers in the room save for 4 small ones in the nightstands, 3 of which had no knobs rendering them entirely useless and leaving us with one drawer that was an inch and a half deep. We specifically booked a room with two beds and were very frustrated to discover at 10pm that one bed had no sheets at all. The coverlet of the other bed had visible stains across it. The mattress on the only bed with sheets was sloped to each side, so you’d slide to the edges during the night. Staff were unconcerned about the issues which clearly speak to persistent subpar cleanliness and maintenance. To top it off, they refused to provide any sort of refund. Take your money elsewhere.

Ok

Generelt sett var dette en fin overnatting. Men det er flere ting som gjorde denne opplevelsen ikke så bra. Første kveld/natt var det ikke noe vann i hverken vask eller toalett. (Noe vi fikk beklagelse for dagen etter), det var problemer med låsen på døren til rommet noe som ble litt styr. Hårføneren fungerte ikke og det var nærmest umulig å dusje i badekaret når dusjhodet sprutet i alle retninger. Hotellet var koselig, det hadde en gammeldags og god vibe. Låsesystemene med app var kult (så lenge det fungerte) Frokosten er ok, lite utvalg. Vær forberedt på at man må gå litt til trikken (tung oppoverbakke)

Lovely old villa( old house)

Sadly we had no old room as in pics, as not in the main house.. Very small and just functional bathroom, Bed size good but not soft enough, Room cleaning every day was without washing or sweeping the floor, Breakfast was all right for italian style, good products, small variety... sadly no fresh bread from the bakery... Parking on sight is spacious. 6 € a day! For walking too far from town, bus is around the corner, or bike as we did...

Décevant

Arrivée difficile,une fois 20 h personne,Ni de réponse au téléphone,il n'y avait pas moyen de les atteindre! Heureusement un couple de François,y logeant nous ont aidé à trouver le propriétaire qui ne trouvait pas notre réservation que nous avions déjà payée ! Le lendemain rencontre avec sa femme (aucune diplomatie,pas très sympathique) en plus il y avait également des suppléments : leur parking payant ! Et pour notre chien aussi.Donc nous sommes partis déçu

Awful - Extremely Rude Staff

Our service here was terrible. Firstly I was asked to stay in a smaller room to the one I booked for the first night, then the next morning after packing up and checking out of this room, I was told I couldn’t go into my booked room because people were sleeping in it (even though I had booked it from the night before). I then went to work (the reason I came to Florence) but was emailed to come back from work to get my room keys otherwise staff would go out and I wouldn't be able to access my room. I was told we could not use the heating (even though it was freezing cold in the room) because it was against the law. Two staff burst into our room the next morning when we were changing without knocking – they said they thought we were out. We were spoken to extremely rudely when we asked/complained about anything. In fact, at check-out they were extremely angry, practically shouting at us, telling us we must not know how to use keys properly or work the heater. They threatened to call the police when we asked to pay for the cheaper, smaller room for the first night rather than the apartment that we had paid for. The only thing they offered was a free breakfast on one morning (the owner made a point of telling me to include this in the review as she was worrried about our negative review), but this didn’t cover the difference in price between the two rooms, and nowhere near made up for the bad service, rudeness and insulting language. I would highly recommend not staying here.

Es war einmal

Die Lage des Hotels ist schön. Buslinie fast vor dem Haus. Das Haus an sich mit dem grossen Garten könnte eine Perle sein, wenn es gepflegter wäre. Die Besitzer sind nett und freundlich aber es fehlt leider das professionelle. Die Villa wurde vor Jahren renoviert. Leider unfachmännisch. Die jetzt vorhandenen Mängel unvermeidlich. Die Liste ist gross. Angefangen bei den verrosteten Gartenmmöbel, allen Böden im Haus, die zwar gesaugt werden aber schon ewig keine Reinigungsmittel mehr gesehen haben, bis hin zu Schimmel in der Dusche, durch Staub verstopfter Badlüfter, verdreckten Klimanlagen und klemmender Toilettenspülung. Die Bilder sprechen eine deutliche Sprache.

Disappointing

It was disappointing, not like the photos on the web site. The outdoor lacked enough lounge chairs and the only two were dirty. If the landscaping on the property had been done properly it would have been a very attractive garden. Our room was dark and noisy because was facing the street on the ground level, the small shower had no place to put the soap and the soap was really tiny. The breakfast was below average. We needed five different keys to move around the property, to open two gates and three doors, not fun to carry around sightseeing and shopping. Overall inconvenient and not restful as it looked on the photos.
