The apartment was extremely clean. We loved the location, it was a little bit off the normal path so it was quiet, but close enough to easily get anywhere. We felt very safe in the building / apartment too. Check in was extremely easy. Matilda met us at the apartment and showed us everything. Would stay here again. Thank you.
Love our stay here! Everything was perfect! The location, the rooms, and the hospitality. Tons of restaurants nearby and close proximity to many attractions. Matilda was a great hostess through and through. She even helped us call a cab when our calls wouldn’t go through. I would highly recommend this place for all future travelers.
The location was wonderful and the place was beautiful and very safe. Matilda was very attentive and helpful with any questions we had. I would highly recommend to any friend or family
The apartment was fabulous. Location was ideal. Close to everything including city center and train station but quieter than a lot of the neighborhood’s in the area. Matilda excelled at communication which made the entire process seamless.
The apartment is beautifully decorated and appointed with everything you need for your stay. I stayed for 4 nights with my wife and 3 children. Everyone slept well and was very comfortable. The apartment is about a 7-10 minute walk from the Cathedral and surrounded by many wonderful restaurants. I highly recommend this property!
Matilda went out of her way to meet us and ensure we could drop our bags early. She was gracious to allow a later check out as well. The apartment is an easy walk to the train station but a little out of the way to the river and Ponte Vecchio. We had no issues walking but others may. We love to walk the city and it was easy to navigate. The apartment served our needs well. It was great to have a washer/dryer with detergent supplied. Overall a nice place to stay in Florence!
Matilda is an amazing host who was fully responsive to every need. The property is clean and beautiful. The location is ideal, not in the throngs of tourists but walking distance to tourist sites and train station.
Matilda was an amazing host. The apartment is modern, light and beautiful! It is in a wonderful location to visit Florence- very safe! There are many stairs, so that would only deter an older couple. A
This property was very conveniently located for all sites but in a quiet neighborhood. Very nicely appointed and the extras of coffee, soaps, and other essentials were very much appreciated. Matilda was very accommodating with check in. Would definitely recommend this apartment.
Everything was absolutely perfect. Hidden gem in a great location. Bright and light and fantastic kitchen. Matilda was very communicative and helpful! Pro tip is to try the pizza right next door. Fantastico!
Beautiful property. Looked just as pretty in person as it did online.
Great location. We enjoyed its local neighborhood appeal as well as its close proximity to historic areas. Very conven to transposition to the train station and airport.
Luxurious apartment short walk from historic center
Great apartment slightly off the beaten path but within an easy walk of the historic city center. We appreciated the large living space to spread out and there were also lovely views from various rooms. Multiple levels, so stairs are a factor, but for most groups this shouldn’t be an issue. We enjoyed our stay.
We really enjoyed our stay at the apartment. It is tastefully decorated, impeccably clean and with a lovely light filled dining and living room. The layout is such that there are stairs within the flat but this wasn’t an issue for us. Matilda is a highly responsive host - made check in easy, replied quickly to any questions and was very accommodating with our luggage. I would highly recommend.
Our stay was perfect! The apartment is quite large and well stocked for the stay with extra thoughtfulness. The location was perfect and we caught a beautiful rainbow out the front door. The area was quiet and the apartment was very clean. We loved the decor and overall comfort of the apartment. Thank you for a great stay in Florence!
The apartment was luxurious and comfortable. It is as beautiful as pictured. It was very clean, and we loved coming back from long days of walking the city to relax and unwind. It is a convenient walk to the train station, Duomo, and many great restaurants.

About the host
Hosted by Matilda
I am Italian and have always loved welcoming people from all over the world to Florence. Hosting allows me to share not only a home, but also the beauty, history, and atmosphere of this extraordinary city.
I enjoy helping guests feel comfortable and at ease from the moment they arrive, offering a personal welcome and tips so they can experience Florence like a local. My goal is to make every stay feel authentic, relaxed, and memorable.
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it offers the perfect balance between being in the heart of Florence and enjoying a more authentic, residential atmosphere. Piazza Indipendenza is just a short walk from the Duomo and the city’s main museums, yet it is quieter and less crowded than the busiest tourist streets.
What I love most is that you can explore everything on foot during the day — historic sites, markets, cafés, and restaurants — and then return to a peaceful setting in the evening. It allows guests to experience Florence not only as visitors, but as if they were living here.
What makes this property unique
What truly makes this property unique is its rare combination of space, historic character, and privacy in the heart of Florence.
At 160 sqm, it offers generous living areas that are uncommon in the historic center, allowing guests to relax comfortably rather than simply “stay” in a small city apartment. The home is located in an elegant historic Florentine palace with an elevator — a feature that is quite rare in buildings of this period.
Another distinctive element is the layout: two large double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, provide privacy and comfort that are ideal for couples traveling together or families. With three full bathrooms in total, the apartment offers a level of convenience that stands out in Florence.
Above all, it offers the feeling of staying in a true Florentine residence — spacious, authentic, and peaceful — while being just a short walk from the Duomo and the city’s most iconic landmarks.
