About this property

Historical apartment in the heart of Florence with exclusive terrace

Flick through some art books from the comfort of a leather armchair by the library. This renovated apartment with a roomy exclusive terrace blends old and new, from antique ceiling frescoes to recent Pompeii-inspired paintings by a famous local artist.
Relax in veranda with a glass of delicious Chianti wine, read a book in the shadow of the terrace, feel the history of the Medici family.

This flat has been completely renovated, it is in the heart of Florence, Santa Croce district, few steps away from the main sight seeings, restaurants and bars. .The rooms are very spacious. The living room has 2 windows opened on the terrace.
This apartment has a very unique flavor.The library in the living room has a lot of art books, the sofas are comfortable and the room is big. 10 people can sit at the dining table. There is a desk and comfortable carpets on the floor.

The apartment has keyboards with codes so you don't need to use keys. Check in can be done 24 hours
I can give you good informations for your visits. I leave a book in the apartment with recommendations, restaurants etc...Don't hesitate to ask me for a good guide to accompany you in the museums inside or outside Florence, in the Chianti countryside or Sienne, San Gimignano, Pise or Lucques.

Our 3 generation family stayed here for 3 weeks. The rooms were comfortably air conditioned which was great in the summer heat. The terrace was a nice place to enjoy the outdoors. The steps to the apartment were manageable. Our host was responsive to any questions and provided a nice booklet of information. This apartment is within walking distance to almost every attraction.

The property was beautiful and exactly as advertised. The location was central to all Florence has to offer, and off a quiet street, which made it easy to relax when there was downtime. The communication with the host was great, and she was quick to answer any questions we had. We would not hesitate to stay at the property again in the future.

Loved this apartment and the location was perfect. I could not believe how close we were to the sights as well as great food, gelato, leather, etc. There were plenty of towels for our stay and many supplies for use like olive oil, salt and pepper, balsamic, tea, spices. There was a small issue with a light not working and the electrician came right away. Maria, the host, is very responsive and even sent her son out one day.The master bedroom is very large with plenty of storage. The 2nd bedroom is much smaller with not much space but the large bed is nice. The third bedroom is huge with plenty of space for multiple beds and storage.The air conditioners work great which can be hard to find in Europe.As usual, the bathrooms are small compared to what Americans might be used to but there is room to store things which is nice.The terrace is lovely. There is no view of the sights but it’s still a great place to drink coffee or relax at night. It does need a little cleaning so bring something to sit on out there so you don’t get clothing dirty.There is wine hole at the corner of the street which we visited often!

The photos of this apartment truly don’t do it justice—it’s even more beautiful in person. Its central location makes it easy to access everything you might need, including major attractions. There are two staircases to climb, one of which is quite narrow. While this was a bit challenging with luggage at first, we quickly adjusted after a few days.The apartment is well stocked and provided a comfortable stay for our family of five. Marie was also incredibly attentive and communicative, and her detailed guidebook for both the apartment and Florence was especially helpful. We loved making this space our home during our stay and would absolutely return.
Florence is nearby many great wineries. We did a tour with Grape Tours and had a great time. https://www.tuscan-wine-tours.com/

About the host

Hosted by MARIE MIDAVAINE

Host profile image
I'm French and I have been living in Florence for a very long time (almost 30 years). I travel a lot both for my work and my vacation. I've tried to create a space that I'd myself like to find when I am away from home.I want it very clean because I always walk bare feet, I want it with all the comfort because I don't like washing the dishes, I want it quiet because I am on vacation, I want it nice because my home is nice! I speak French, english, italian and learning spanish because my eldest son leaves in Colombia. I couldn't leave without my yoga and my main interest are the oriental philosophies from which I have learned a lot.

Why they chose this property

This property is an incredible mix of art and history. Its location first of all is in a very historic, medieval neighborhood., very lively and 2 steps away from the main sightseeings. The building was built in 1400 and the terrace is very unusual. This property is unique and gives you the flavor of how Florence was at the time of The Renaissance .

What makes this property unique

the big terrace is very unusual in the historical center, the size of the rooms, the frescoes on the ceilings and the renovation trying to maintain the antique character mixed up with modern comfort.
