Undoubtedly a true luxury in the heart of Florence. All the main monuments and museums, the best dining and shopping are a few steps away. Really a perfect location!

The living room has a comfortable sofa which can be turned into a double bed. The apartment is recommended for 6 people but can comfortably host up to 8 guests at an additional cost and upon request. The apartment is located in the oldest part of Florence, a few steps from the Duomo and Repubblica square. The Duomo has always been the heart of the city, the religious centre as well as the stage for most of the city's events such as " The Scoppio del Carro " on Easter Sunday and St. John's day celebration on june 24. ( Florence's patron saint ). The Piazza del Duomo is a must see in Florence and a perfect start for a visit through the history and art of the vibrant city centre. The cathedral and its Brunelleschi's dome, the baptistery, the Giotto's bell tower and the Museo of The Opera del Duomo stand all in the square with their shiny polychromatic marbles and overwhelming architecture. The nearby Piazza della Repubblica, which was the Roman Forum of the old Florentia, is nowadays, with its 19th century look, the square of the oldest cafes of Florence such as Gilli Cafè founded in 1733. Within a 10 minutes walk you can reach the Accademia, home of the worldwide famous David by Michelangelo and the Uffizi Gallery which hosts the largest renaissance paintings' collection in the world. You can take a nice stroll through the nearby district of San Lorenzo and reach the " Mercato Centrale " to taste delicious food, experience local flavours and enjoy the market atmosphere. The shopping District and its glamorous Italian designers boutiques is just around the corner! The apartment is near the main transportation hub (700 mt) which is Santa Maria Novella train station connected with High speed trains to all major Italian cities (Rome, Venice, Milan, Bologna, Naples). T2 (Tramway line) connects the airport of Florence to the train station SMN in approx. 20 minutes. C2 bus connects the train station to the apartment (stop: ROMA DUOMO, 100 mt) C4 bus connects the apartment to Santa Maria Novella station. TAXI area is around the corner (30 mt) If you arrive in Florence by car, we would like to remind you that the most part of Florence city center is a traffic limited area which means that there are many restrictions and limitations for those who are not residents.

The apartment is a 10 minute walk from the train station that we took from Rome to Florence. The check in process with the guide efficient and the apartment perfect for 2 couples. It’s centrally located to everything! I would highly recommend.
Everything was great. Very clean and spacious. The hosts even had a cute basket with a bottle of wine and spaghetti and sugo (sauce) upon our arrival. That was so thoughtful and such a nice welcoming touch.
Beautiful property, well maintained, and we highly recommend. Host met and explained the apartment and was very gracious. The apartment is well stocked with essentials as well as a lovely welcome basket. Location is wonderful being one block from the Duomo.
This house was in a great location next to all the designer shopping. We have no complaints at all. The hosts were great and easy to get in touch with. Very accommodating.

We spent 6 nights at the property. It was exactly as advertised. Communication with the hosts was excellent, the property was spotless and you cannot ask for a better location. Everything is a short walk away. I would highly recommend the property and will definitely stay again when we return to Florence.

Grazie
We thoroughly enjoyed this spacious apartment. It had plenty of room for our family of four, was centrally located, and the host was both amazing and accessible.
This property is just down the street from the Duomo. The location was excellent! Communication was clear and the apartment is quite large. We loved it and will stay again when in Florence.
We came to Florence early for a family trip, needed a place to stay for just 2 nights and it was terrific - nice decor, great location and everything was perfect!
This apartment is beautiful, spacious and clean. We easily connected with our many scheduled tours since it is in a great location close to all the major sites. It was lovely to stroll the streets and to the nearby river in the morning and evening. Our hosts provided lots of helpful tips for exploring Florence.
We had a great stay in the apartment. Check in was easy and communication was good. The apartment was clean, well stocked, and spacious. Plenty of room for the four of us, and there would have been room for up to 8. It was stocked with coffee, pasta, and a bottle of wine. Close proximity to restaurants, the Duomo, and cafes. Would definitely stay again.
I don’t really want to share how amazing this place is so that it is op e the next time I come to Florence. The apartment is immaculate. Exactly like the pictures but even more beautiful in person. It’s in the best location ever and Chiara and Valeria were helpful and were responsive. I can’t wait to go back!
We loved our stay at this spacious home. Everything was perfect, especially the location. We were advised through the reviews that the evenings could be pretty noisy, but we didn’t realize it would be all night. Bringing a noise machine may be helpful.
