This is probably the best apartment I've lived in Italy. The space is amazingly large and the decoration is modern. The location is also very nice, just opposite of the trainstation. Connection to Florence is very convenient.

“Pleasant apartment with a good location for transportation. Good value for money vs. Firenze.”
Very good location with regard to the train station and connections to Florence. Trains run approximately every hour and the journey takes 20 minutes. The hostess was very kind and accommodating, arrival went smoothly. Prato is a small town on the outskirts of Florence. According to official statistics, it is the center of the Chinese community, but in three days we saw very few. If you are traveling by car, there is a large parking lot right behind the train station with a price of 6 Euros per day (2026). There is also a smaller center nearby and a street with shops and restaurants.

“An updated, modern apartment in a beautiful old building hosted by a kind family.”
The location is fantastic, next to the Duomo and train station, but also quiet even on a Saturday night! All the amenities and so many great restaurants nearby. We spent our whole weekend in the Chinese part of Prato which is nearby and ate until we couldn't anymore! Highly recommend.

“excellent place to stay if you’re attending Prato Monash campus, just a lovely 5minute stroll away, highly recommended.”
I have stayed in this street before, in an apartment hosted by Barbara, and I find it an excellent location, so close to the Prato Porta al Serraglio train station, and it’s clean and comfortable and Barbara is lovely :)

Ideal location to explore Prata and relatively quit. Directly at local station and thus easy to reach Florenz by train.
