About this property

CHARMING HIDEAWAY IN FLORENCE OLD TOWN

The space has been completely renovated. I wanted it nice and warm, big enough for 2 couples to stay comfortable with a lot of space and the possibility to add 2 single beds either in the rooms or in the living room. There are 2 bedrooms and 2 complete bathrooms and also a third bathroom without shower.
The kitchen is fully equipped and you'll find everything to cook .The table of the dining room can host up to 6 people.
The view on the city is great and I love the huge cypress in front of one the window.
To reach the Ponte vecchio, it'll take you 3 minutes walk and the duomo is 5 minutes. You are in the middle of everywhere.
I have made every effort to provide you with comfort, nice details, a good energy, soft and relaxing colors...I have tried to make you feel at home. Just a good glass of red chianti wine, enjoy the city and make your stay memorable!

This home is located on the second floor with no lift – the building is positioned half on a steep hill, and there are thirty-nine steps leading up to the front door, so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility
Like most historic buildings in Florence, there is no elevator. the apartment is located on the second floor with 45 stairs .
If this property is not available for the dates you need you can also check my other property #512300 and 1286132.

Lovely apartment on a quiet street 2 mins walk from the heart of Pointe Vecchio.

Clean, comfortable, great location on the less busy and touristed side of the river. Remember there is a climb up the hill to get to the door, and some stairs, but this is very manageable for most people.

Absolutely wonderful!

I can’t say enough good things about La Maison. Marie was a responsive host and provides a lovely, clean, well decorated place. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found the binder of information Marie provided full of interesting and helpful information. Being just across the Arno gets you away from the crowds while still being very convenient to the sights. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to others.

Cozy apartment in a great location

This was a cute spot for a couples getaway. The apartment was nicely equipped with everything we needed and close to all the sights. If you have any challenges with walking this might not be a good spot because there is quite a hill to climb and taxis are not allowed on the street. There is also no elevator. We enjoyed the extra exercise!

Lovely apartment on quiet side of river close to all the sites!

Marie is very welcoming and has included most everything you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is well stocked with basics. Showers are very nice! The washer is a plus and there are racks to hang out your clothing. The apartment is up a hill but easy walking distance to the sites and restaurants. And there is a great gelato shop close by! Marie is very responsive and made taxi reservations for us. There were recommendations in a notebook and a library of travel reference books. We would definitely recommend this apartment!

Perfect !

Traveling through Italy with another couple, we couldn't be more pleased with out decision to stay here. The apartment is perfectly appointed and the location is ideal. This is the perfect place to unwind after a long day of exploring the city. The decor is perfect. All the showers are amazing, and the linens were divine. Everything is within walking distance and easy to get to. We were met by Daniel who was sweet as pie, and eager to accommodate us. The owner Marie was equally attentive. This place exceeded all our expectations, and we can't wait to return. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer.

This apartment was in a great location. Parking was a challenge but the owner made some suggestions that worked out fine. There was a ton of space, 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a full kitchen and a living room. Internet was fast. We really enjoyed this place and would absolutely stay here again. When we stayed here there was a lot of construction happening literally right outside the door. The entry hall and along the stairs to this place were covered in demolition dust and debris and the work started around 8am with jackhammers. We were out all day everyday so the noise didn't bother us.

Perfect place to stay

We were 4 adults and all found the apartment to be very spacious. 2 big bedrooms and 2 big bathrooms. Great common area. We had breakfast every day in the place and 2 dinners. The location is excellent- just across from Ponte Vecchio and all the crowds in Florence. We were able to walk everywhere. The beds were very comfy and enjoyed exploring the various neighborhoods on our side of the bridge as well as the side with the Uffuzi, etc. this is a walk up apartment which was not a problem for us but just wanted to mention it. There is also a washer and half bath in a small room. There was a damp smell that we noticed when we opened the door. We would recommend this place!

Fabulous location

Four of us traveled for my 50th birthday and stayed a week in La Maison. Pros: Excellent location at Arno river with easy access to 3 pedestrian bridges Beautiful, quaint bedrooms Large stand-up showers Large TV (*we brought own cables to hook to our laptop) Kitchen stocked with dishes, cook ware Small washer with standing hangers to dry Ok-ish: Not a lot of space in which to put clothing and "live" for a few days. There were some hangers, tiny drawers. Bathroom window electric and slow Heat and airflow an issue and did not respond to thermostat. Each room had own AC/fan unit - however the fan units are disconnected during the colder season due apparently to a city ordinance. Thus despite a wall fan, we could not use it. There were no box fans in the unit. For airflow we could open the windows (which worked very well) yet it was a rainy season so limited how much we could actually open them. Not awesome: When we did ask about the heat and fans, Marie was responsive and came to the unit that next day to show us the equipment. Yet, the next day she sent an electrician over; we did not know the reason. They literally lockboxed in the thermostat so we could not access it. It was a bit confusing. At departure, I screwed up paying the city fee in cash; my fault. Paid online. Yet, Marie turned angry on text and accused us of breaking the bathroom window and leaving the unit in disrepair, both untrue. It was horrible and out of line. Take photos when you check out.

Great Experience

I can’t say enough good things about this property. Marie was wonderful to work with and thinks of everything. The property is truly a home away from home. It’s the perfect combination of rustic/charming yet updated where it’s important like the bathrooms. We stayed with our 3 teenage daughters and there was plenty of space to spread out. The location is central to everything you want to do and see, the neighborhood is safe and quiet and close to a grocery store, shopping and restaurants. Marie provides a binder with information on the area which is helpful. She also scheduled a taxi for us to get to the train station when we departed. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Gemütliche Wohnung in bester Lage

Dieses kleine Juwel liegt in einer ruhigen, malerischen Seitengasse, gerade südlich der Ponte Vecchio. Ein gut bestückter Supermarkt ist gleich am Ende der Straße, vom Trubel der Touristen ist hier aber nichts mehr zu spüren. Von den Fenstern aus hat man einen wunderbaren Blick über einen gegenüberliegenden großen Garten und auf die Uffizien und sogar die Turmspitze des Palazzo Vecchio. Die Wohnung selbst ist sehr geschmackvoll, gemütlich und originell mit Antiquitäten und asiatischer Kunst eingerichtet. Die zwei Schlafzimmer bieten genügend Platz für fünf Personen. Es gibt zwei moderne, geräumige Duschbäder und eine kleine Gästetoilette inkl einer kleinen Waschmaschine. Die Küche ist urig, gut ausgestattet, wenn auch etwas klein. Für Frühstück, Abendbrot und Snacks reicht es aber allemal. Im Wohnzimmer sitzt man auf unterschiedlichen Sesseln um den Kamin sehr gemütlich und genießt den Charme dieser wunderbar gestalteten, typisch florentiner Wohnung. Wir sind eine fünfköpfige Familie mit drei halbwüchsigen Kindern und haben hier fünf wunderbare Tage verbracht. Vielen Dank!

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 am a tireless traveller.
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 you deserve it, I want it quiet because you are on vacation.
I speak French, english, italian.
I couldn't leave without my yoga and my main interest are the oriental philosophies.

Why they chose this property

This property is big enough to host 6 persons. For a traveller who wants to stay in the historical center without the crowd of tourists, the location is perfect and at the same time, the street is very quiet. No noise. The view is beautiful..

The apartment is halfway up (100 meters)

I am just a phone call text or email away

What makes this property unique

I love the big cypress in front of the window, I love to have my breakfast 2 minutes from home in a nice coffee shop facing the river, I love to be able to walk everywhere, I love to sleep with my windows opened because it is so quiet, I love to be in the part of the city away from the crowd of tourists, I love the food and the coffee shops of this neighbourhood.
