Location: Florence, Tuscany, Italy, Europe

Accommodations:  Apartment, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)

This charming and unique apartment sets on the ground floor of a historic building right at Florence's Historic Center. It is strategically situated just 5 minutes walk from Piazza Santa Croce, and 15 minutes walk from Piazza Signoria and The Ufizzi.

This accommodation has been restored and converted into an adorable apartment, very well furnished and with modern facilities. The highlight is its private, sunny garden with dining table for "al fresco" meals. Private parking is also available.

There is a cosy living room , dining room at a veranda facing the garden, well equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook a delicious Tuscan meal, a master double room with fresco ceiling with in suite bathroom, a double bedroom with 2 single beds, a studio with 2 single beds plus one bathroom with shower. All bathrooms are made with Carrara marble.

The market of Santo Ambrogio , the most characteristic food market in Florence is only at 5 minutes walk. It is a nice way to wake up in the morning, have a lazy breakfast with a true cappuccino or espresso and take a tour around fresh and exquisite season vegetables and fruits or local cheese just smelling the flower's newest aromas.

All around, there are many restaurants and bars where local Fiorentini go for a quick coffee, lunch and dinner meals, with a vast selection of places running from wine bars, wooden oven pizzerias, local trattorie, famous restaurants, and the well known Teatro del Sale.

From there, you can also rent bikes to visit Florence everywhere you want to go!

I live close by and available 24/7.

    We had 6 adults, and were very comfortable. The 3rd bedroom is a bit small, but 2 twin beds worked out fine for us. The baths were great, as was the kitchen. We had wonderful weather, and spent most free time outside, in the walled, garden area. We could walk to all the sights, but even with a full week, we couldn't see it all. Incredible food wherever we went. Loved the market in the morning for cappucino & sweets, as well as for fresh cheeses/veggies/meats. Trattorias and Gelato everywhere. Florence was a wonderful experience, and staying here made it that much better. Christina, you were a wonderful host...thank you! Judi, Patte and Company

    We loved this apartment. It was beautifully designed and very comfortable. It was very spacious, and easily accommodated our crew of 3 adults, 1 toddler and a baby. In a great part of Florence - close to Santa Croce and the local market. Walking distance to all the main sites (past some great leather shops on the way!), but far enough away from the hotels and tourist areas that we could enjoy a sense of the real Florence. We were greeted by the owner on our arrival (even though we were 3 hours late!). She was very helpful and even provided a bus map, and a cot. She was also readily available if we needed help during our stay. I highly recommend this aparment and thank the owner for her assistance in making our stay so enjoyable.

  • We spent a week in Florence, using this apt as our base. It is truly spacious, light and very well kept. It is conveniently located, as described, with a market nearby and many restaurants within easy walking distance. By Florence standards, this is a bargin at 1350 Euro. Chritina, the owner, is a delightful woman who was very helpful in arranging our visit. I would definitely stay here again when we return to Florence.

  • This apartment was a fantastic find! My mother, mother-in-law, and husband stayed there for 10 days in November. Christina was very courteous and helpful, even adjusting her schedule when our arrival flight was delayed. She was more than accommodating. It is located right across the street from a wonderful restaurant that is higher price but higher quality and filled with locals! Did you know that it is also on the same street as Michelangelo's house, which is now a museum? Take a look, as you'll see some familiar paintings (the Ecce Homo and the Queen Elizabeth I portrait), even if it isn't filled with masterpieces that everyone goes to the Uffizi to see. Gay patrons will be happy to note that it is a very short walk to the best gay bar in the city: Y.A.G. Straight patrons will be happy to note that there is nightlife in the neighborhood. In both cases, the apartment is far from the loud noise of pedestrians at night, but close enough to imbibe with the locals. Electricity and heat is high if you like it warm in the house and bathe every day, like most Americans. We used a lot so we spent a lot. It was not a problem for us, as we were mindful that the dollar is weak and energy costs are high. The third bedroom does NOT have a dresser and is private so long as the curtains are drawn. My mother-in-law didn't seem to mind, and Christina came up with a great solution to use part of the linen closet next to the room for her things. We're definitely staying here again when we come to Florence!
