Modern and cozy apartment with large private garden, located in Florence in the Santa Croce area. Recommended for 4 people, it can accommodate up to 6 for short periods by using a sofa bed in the living area. It has 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom.
DESCRIPTION The apartment is located on the ground floor (two steps down) of a building on Via Ghibellina, a very lively street (shops, restaurants, theater ..) very close to Piazza Santa Croce, therefore in the heart of Florence and a few minutes walk away from the main monuments. At the same time it is located not far from the ring roads and close to a large underground car park (subject to charges).
The apartment is very quiet because it is located in an internal courtyard, and has a nice private garden furnished with tables, chairs and deck chairs, excellent opportunity for a moment of relaxation, a drink or an outdoor dinner. Inside the garden there is a small laundry room that contains the washing machine and the dryer.
The apartment, recently renovated, is modern and located on two levels (65 sqm). It is ideal to accommodate 4 people, but can accommodate up to 6 thanks to the double sofa bed which is perfect for children. On the first level, open on the garden, there is the living area (kitchen, with dishwasher, foldaway in a large wardrobe, extendable dining table for 6 people, comfortable sofa bed 140 cm wide and SmartTV), a double bedroom (non-separable bed, 160 cm wide, bed side tables and a wardrobe), a small corridor and a complete bathroom with shower. Going up then 11 rather narrow steps you arrive at the loft (ceiling height 180 cm) where there is the second double bedroom (inseparable bed, 160 cm wide, large chest of drawers and wall hanger) that overlooks the living area thanks to a glass structure that helps to give light to the upper floor.
Independent heating and air conditioning
Garden maintenance: we inform you that the gardener will generally go to the garden after 6.00 pm (on the weekend he could come at different times) to water the plants as needed depending on the weather conditions. Obviously it won't water if guests are in the garden.
GUEST ACCESS Guests have access to the whole house, the garden and the laundry, full use of the kitchen, sheets and towels provided.
INTERACTION WITH GUESTS We will personally welcome guests to the apartment for key collection and to show the amenities. We don't live there so we need to set the check-in time in advance.

Extra linen is charged to the guest. -For 4 guests we mean 2 double beds, any need to use the sofa bed must be notified in advance and will be charged € 25 for extra linen, to be paid at check-in.
HOW TO GET: If you arrive in Florence by plane you can reach the apartment by taxi. Taxis apply a flat rate to and from the airport: €28 standard, €30 on holidays, €32 at night (from 10pm to 6am). If you arrive by train you have 3 options: walking (25 minutes), taxi (queue at the station exit), or electric bus C2, from the Orti Oricellari stop, which is found when exiting the station on the right side, direction Beccaria, stop Malborghetto. If you arrive by car, the nearest motorway exit is Firenze Sud. However, you should know that the house is located within the ZTL (limited traffic zone, active weekdays from 07:30 to 20:00 and Saturday from 07:30 to 16:00 and in summer, from first Thursday of April to the first Sunday of October, also on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 23:00 to 03:00 the next morning), so pay close attention to road signs of restricted access and telematic doors. The telematic access door to get to the apartment is in via dell'Agnolo. Then we advise you to park in the nearest underground pay parking, which is the S.

Apartment had everything we needed for our family of five. Kids were thrilled to sleep in the loft. Owners were extremely accommodating and let us have access to the place after checkout to make it easier for the kids.

Thank you, Michael! We’re happy that your stay at our place has been good and that we helped to make it easier. You’re welcome anytime!
Overall, the place was wonderful. Great location - close to walk, but not in the middle of the most touristy places. Everything was neatly stored in the unit. Having a washer and dryer while traveling was a plus. Minor inconvenience was the soap dispenser was broken and it was combo soap/shampoo, so if you need shampoo or conditioner, will need to bring your own

Thank you, David, for your review. We are sorry for the inconvenience of the soap dispenser, you should have told us and we would have solved with pleasure
The property and garden were so lovely and the laundry was super convenient. We really enjoyed our stay. What stood out the most, though, was our communication and experience with the owners. We had some serious issues with our travel to Florence, have several delays and missing flights. Sabrina and Marco were so flexible and extremely helpful and accommodating. Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts. You made our time in Firenze amazing!

Cynthia’s Garden was excellent for my family of 4. It was very clean, comfortable and relaxing. The outdoor garden was great to relax in the morning with a cappuccino and the laundry - with a dryer - was great. The location is great, right across from a great bakery and easy walk to the main sights. Overall, we were very happy to use this as our home base in Tuscany.
We loved our stay in Cynthia's Garden. Great location. The private garden is a sweet addition. Marco was very responsive and accommodating. It had everything we needed and more.
