Beautiful and particular 80 sq. mts. open space, for a maximum of 4 people, developed on 2 levels, perfectly renovated with refurbishing terminated in March 2007, located in an inner court of a stately noble palace of the 15th century, in Via Ghibellina (Look at the Map).

Peacefully quiet, very sunny and with an independent entrance, the apartment consists in one large main environment, almost 10 mt high, with gorgeous precious hand frescoed ceilings. The layout of the space has been perfectly designated and separated by the furniture settings, consisting partly in lovely antique pieces. The environment, fitted with all modern comforts including air conditioning, opens directly onto the day area, characterized by its original terracotta flooring, large windows with gold coloured drapes and a fire place, and furnished with three couches (of which 2 become single beds) and a period dining table for 4/6 people. The open plan kitchen is fully equipped with all necessities including a refrigerator, a regular oven, a washing machine and a dishwasher.

A wood and wrought iron staircase leads to the night area which overlooks the masterly living room. With prestigious walnut parquet, this area is used both as a bedroom, with its large double bed, and as a study, with its writing desk and Imperial style book case. The large bathroom, by the living room, is fitted with a bathtub. The location of this apartment, central albeit immersed in a silent green garden of the noble palazzo, together with the detailed furnishings, make this an unparalleled place to stay for anyone wishing to find an unforgettable accommodation in the very heart of Florence. The apartment, in addition, is perfectly wheel-chair accessible, with its wide doorways, ground floor entrance and bedding available on the main floor.

Area
The apartment is situated a few steps from the Arno river, in a street a few metres from the viali of Florence, in the historical neighborhood of Santa Croce.
The area is well served by all sorts of boutiques and restaurants, from traditional trattorias to more eclectic places, and is easily accessible from the central station Santa Maria Novella, by bus (n° 14-32-33).
A few steps from the apartment is the famous Piazza Santa Croce, with its majestc basilica adjacent to the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale (National Library) and next to the Science Museum in Piazza dè Giudici.
Not far off is Piazza della Signoria and its Uffizi Gallery.

  • We recently stayed at the Ghibellina loft apartment in Florence. Close to restaurants, shopping, etc...very convenient location. Open loft space with much more room than a hotel would offer. Very comfortable, larger than queen size bed, adequate towels and linens and lots of "old world" charm throughout the loft, with an amazing painted mural on the ceiling. The hustle of Florence streets just a few steps away from a safe, secluded, quiet, residence inside. Was skeptical at first because we're used to staying in hotels but found this a welcome retreat and plan to go back. Only downside was there wasn't a DVD player when we were there and we brought DVDs as all the channels speak in Italian, of course! And the TV could have been a little larger -important to Americans or if you're traveling with children or teenagers. The fireplace was not set up to work as advertised, although not missed, and there was no jacuzzi or "jetted" tub access as was promoted. Lighting could have been better at nightime as well but the dimmed lights gave a real romantic effect and the large floor to ceiling windows gave plenty of natural light during the day. The gated entrance to the interior courtyard was tranquil while providing security and we loved returning from a day of sightseeing to a real sense of Florentian living in a romantic loft which felt very much like our own for the time we were there. The City Manager was there to greet us upon arrival with a lunch basket, a bottle of Italian wine and birthday cake that I had requested for my boyfriend. Very nice touches which made us feel very welcome after a long flight. All in all a lovely stay and we recommend this loft to anyone looking to venture from the beaten path with the hopes of having a memorable stay in Florence. You'll find it here!
