About this property

In the Heart of Florence

The recently renovated apartment is located on the 2nd floor of a characteristic building in the historic center of Florence, developing on the back of the building it is particularly quiet and bright
We are welcomed by a warm and bright living room with an open kitchen equipped with everything needed for cooking (including a dishwasher)
In the living room there is a sofa available, from here you access the bathroom (complete with 4 elements and washing machine) and the very spacious bedroom which has a study corner as well as a pleasant balcony
The neighbourhood, despite the apartment overlooking a very quiet interior, is full of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and characteristic venues; a few steps away is the famous Sant'Ambrogio Market (open only in the morning) where you will find fruit, vegetables, fresh meat, fish, bakers.
Well served by public transport. however Florence is a small city and can be easily visited on foot or if you prefer by bicycle (rental from specialized shops can be provided upon request)
Florence is a relatively small city and there are many ways to travel.
Certainly the fastest and easiest way is to walk, so you can discover hidden corners, such as a garden of an ancient palace, a lesser-known church or some small boutique.
If you want to explore outside of Florence, from the Santa Maria Novella station it is possible to reach many cities by train and take day trips
Alternatively we can (in advance) organize tours in nearby cities with authorized drivers
If you have a rental or personal car you can rely on a couple of garages close to the apartment (the host will be able to give you more information and help you with the booking) remembering that the apartment is located in the limited traffic area and only parking in a garage you can avoid getting a fine

This was perfect place for a couple nights in Florence. Its location was perfect as it was close to the city center but not directly in all the hustle and bustle. The street was quiet but had a great bar/restaurant right across the street. It was as advertised and the owner/manager was very easy to communicate with. We highly recommend it.

Amazing Apartment and Location

This apartment was a 15 minute walk to the UNITA train stop and was close to all amenities. Restaurants, markets and grocery stores were all very close as Firenze is a very walk-friendly city. The apartment was cozy and clean just as the photos suggest. We loved the balcony overlooking the courtyard. Stefania and Gianni were fantastic at meeting us at the apartment and suggesting places to see and eat! We would stay again in a heartbeat. Grazie Mille!

Fabulous in Florence

The property is wonderfully located, clean, convenient, and comfortable. Two minutes walk to Duomo makes the apartment close to attractions. Our host met us there for an easy and informative check in. He gave us lots of advice and many good restaurant suggestions. We are mid sixties, but had no trouble with the apartment's second floor location. Hey, you are going to eat lots of gelato, so some steps will be good for you!

Infatuated with Florence

Our stay in The Heart of Florence apartment was glorious! I must start with the helpfulness of the property managers Stefania and Gianni. They were amazing! Gianni met us at the apartment and walked us through all of the details. He assured us that we could reach out with any questions. Stefania shared restaurants and shopping ideas when we asked. Thank you Gianni and Stefania! The apartment location was within walking distance of all sites in Florence; The Duomo, The Uffizi, The Petit Palace, Piazza Santa Croce, Medici Chapel, Mercato Centrale, Piazza della Signoria, and so much more. Highly recommend Ristorante del Fagioli for Fiorentine Bistecca❤️ 🥩. Stefania shared it as one of her favorites and it delivered. It is hard to improve upon the perfection of Florence. But this apartment made it the perfect visit.
