THE NEIGHBORHOOD
It is located in the lively Sant'Ambrogio neighborhood, in the heart of Florence's historic center, just steps from the Duomo and the magnificent Basilica of Santa Croce and its square. It's an excellent starting point for walking to all the city's main sites: the Accademia, the Uffizi Gallery, Palazzo Vecchio, Santa Maria Novella, San Marco, San Lorenzo, and the Ponte Vecchio.

CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT
As a general rule, check-in is from 3:00 PM on the day of arrival, and the room must be vacated by 11:00 AM on the day of departure.
However, we will do our best to accommodate your travel schedule, and if we have no other guests on your departure day, you can arrive/depart at your preferred time.
IMPORTANT: Please remember to let us know your arrival time as soon as possible (by calling or texting us when you're near Florence) so we can hand over the keys to your apartment.

HOW TO GET TO THE APARTMENT
Via Fiesolana is just a 20-minute walk from the main Santa Maria Novella train station (or 10 minutes by taxi or public transportation). From Florence airport, the best way to reach us is by taxi (flat rate €30) or by the shuttle bus (Bus Volain), which departs every 30 minutes and takes you to the main train station. From there, you can take bus no. 14 or no. 23 and get off at Colonna 1. If you're flying into Pisa airport, you should reach Santa Maria Novella train station by train or bus. Then take a taxi, bus, or walk to us.

IF YOU ARRIVE BY CAR
In the historic center—the so-called ZTL (Limited Traffic Zone)—only residents are allowed to park. If you arrive by car, you must park in the paid garage located a few steps from the apartment to unload your luggage: Garage Italia (Via Fiesolana, No. 19, cost €7/1 hour, €35/day).

RECOMMENDATIONS
The apartment is furnished with materials from the finest Tuscan tradition: wood, Carrara marble, and Rapolano stone. These are fine materials that require special care and attention from our guests.

About the host

Hosted by Claudia

Host profile image
My name is Claudia, I was born in Tuscany and i moved to Florence to study Art History. I immediately fell in love with this city and from that moment I never wanted to leave. I have lived and worked here for almost 30 years and i’m still astonished/amazed/ breathless by its beauty and history.I bought my apartment in via Fiesolana from an italian artist named Gabriele that used it as its studio, and the rooms still reflects the same disposition the artist needed to paint his works of art. It was love at first sight for me, from the moment i saw the apartment I realized it had to be mine. This apartment in via Fiesolana had been my home for many unforgettable years and I really hope that my guests could experience the same feelings of happiness i felt in this apartment.

What makes this property unique

It’s very difficult to describe the reasons why I immediately fell in love with my apartment, they were just a bunch of unexplainable feelings. Some of the unique characteristics that hit me were the very high ceiling and the artistic glass window you could admire in the living room, a work by the Italian artist Gabriele, who was the previous owner of the apartment; the fireplaces, one of them with a head of Eolo the top also by Gabriele, the views on the roofs of Florence, the ancient wooden floor of the living room and the warm atmosphere that comes from any room. The big papier-mâché mask in the living-room was made by Gabriele too, he always loved to call it “Lo spirito della casa” (The soul of the house), it has been put there by the artist and it has always been there.
