Om boendet

We are renovating the building with scaffolding only inside the courtyard until approx. May 2025.

The works take place from Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm and sometime on Saturday morning.

The apartment 'Flora' is situated in Piazza del Duomo in the heart of Florence’s historical centre, on the 4th level ( no lift - 87 steps ) of a prestigious XVI century palace that once belonged to the Ghiberti family, one of Florence’s most important historical families, with easy steps well worth the journey.

From October 25 2009, Piazza del Duomo is a pedestrian area with all the advantages that an area like that can offer

Spending time in my apartment is to be accompanied by the shadow of the magnificent dome of Brunelleschi, the grandeur of Giotto’s belltower and the splendour of Vasari’s frescos, in an unforgettable dream that Florence will dream with you and bring you great joy and an even greater desire to return.
Flora directly faces the Duomo, giving you the sensation that you could reach out and touch its magnificent green and white marble facade.

The apartment has been completely restored in Florentine style, but with all modern comforts. Flora is a charming and elegant apartment comprising: a living/dining room with a comfortable sofa, a modern and fully-equipped kitchenette, 1 bedroom with a double bed (140x200), 1 bedroom with 2 single beds ( 85x200) that can be transformed into a double bed. 1 modern bathroom with shower, complete the description of the apartment.

Excellent Location, Great Host

We enjoyed staying at the Flora Apartment. It’s central (right next to the Duomo) and a 15 minute walk to the train station. Because of the location we were able to see a parade from the window. Although there are stairs, we only found them challenging when we had luggage. Luca was a great host. He met us at the apt and we were able to check in early. When we left our passports in the safe, he met us at the train station to get them.

This apartment is quite nice. Luca was a great host. He replied quickly to ask questions or concerns. The check in was very detailed. The location really couldn't be any better. You do need to be able to walk up several flights of stairs.

Absolutely the best place I’ve ever stayed! Location was perfect and close to everything. The host Luca was so helpful and he has the best pillows on the bed. You can see the top of the Dumo from the living room Skylight, absolutely amazing!

We very much enjoyed our stay at The Flora Apartment! It's in a really neat old building right across the street from the Duomo, yet has been thoroughly updated. Our host, Luca, was very accommodating in meeting us late after our flight was delayed, and took the time to explain how everything works with the apartment. The location is awesome! We would certainly stay here again on our next visit to Florence!

Book this place, you will not regret it!

I am so lucky that I found this place for our trip to Florence! This was by far one of the cleanest places I have stayed while travelling. Not to mention it feels luxurious, the beds were great and the whole apartment is updated. There was a lot of space which was very comfortable especially coming from a place in Rome. The location is incredible, you can walk everywhere. Luca was so friendly, and after we had been travelling for so long it was so comforting to have someone greet us who was so welcoming. There are stairs, but if you are travelling to Italy, this is common in any place that you stay, and keep in mind that this building is very old and has a lot of history so it was worth it. Luca went above and beyond having someone waiting there for our arrival to bring our bags up to the apartment (we didn't have this at any other place we stayed). Being from Canada, we are used to very different living spaces, but this apartment made us feel so comfortable. If you are renting through VRBO and not staying at a hotel you must book this apartment, it was the best accommodations we booked for our entire trip. Thanks again Luca!

Une expérience sans faute !

Le logement est parfait, propre, moderne, decoré avec goût et dans un immeuble authentique. Le localisation est absolument parfaite, à moins de 10' de marche de presque tout ce qu'il y a voir à Florence. Attention toutefois aux personnes de condition physique altérée, il s'agit d'un 4eme étage sans ascenseur (mais à Florence, entre le dôme, les tours et la rive gauche du fleuve, on grimpe beaucoup de manières générale 😊). Le propriétaire est parfait, gentil, serviable, disponible et d'un professionnalisme peu courant. C'est la meilleure location que j'ai eu l'occasion d'expérimenter tout pays confondu.

This apartment by far was one of the cleanest places we had ever stayed. Our host, Luca, was very helpful and did a through church-in process for us. He was always wearing a smile and was always reachable. The best part was the location which was in the middle of the tourist attractions surrounded by so many shopping and dining places. If I go back to Florence, I would definitely stay in this place again.

Perfect Location

The view and location can't be beaten. I'm 66 and had not difficulty with the stairs. With the safe wide stairs, we just took a breather as needed. The manager met us on arrival and helped with our luggage. He showed us how to operate the window shades & A/C. We loved our stay.

A great property!

Property just as described, if not better. I expected a bit of a smaller apartment but overall great size for 3 of us. A number of skylights so place is quite bright; can be closed with blinds with a dark environment for good sleep. The bathroom was darker, small shower as shown in pictures. Our stay was Tues-Sat and did not have problems with noise from the area although we did hear more people out and about on Friday night. As stated, there are many steps but manageable unless you have mobility issues. The owner Luca was very helpful before stay and met us at the apartment to review all about the place. Could not be in a better location! We easily walked from the train station with our luggage in tow; walked/returned to area for the tram to the airport for departure. Highly recommend this apartment!

As good as it gets!

This apartment was as good as it gets. The location is superb, being litterally next door to the duomo in historic Florence. The entire town was steps away. The apartment was extremely clean with very comfortable bedding. There were all the imenities you would want including a washing machine (with detergent!), coffee, great wi-fi, and even a dishwasher. It's on the top floor of the building so there are a lot of steps to get up to it, but that'll just help you burn off all the carbs and wine you'll consume at dinner every night! Most importantly the host. Luca provided excellent communcation during the booking, pre-arrival, and during checkout. He was on time (actually early) to meet us during check-in and explained everything we would need to know about the apartment. He even brought a man to carry all of our luggage upstairs. After the tour he offered excellent suggestions on where to eat and answered all of our questions about Florance. (His restaurant suggestions were A+++!) I highly recommend this apartment and I can honestly say this was the best short term vacation rental we've ever rented in Europe.

Amazing location and history. We loved it!

Our stay in Florence was amazing. Luca is one of the best hosts we have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. He communicated well and handled any questions we asked. His place is a true gem. It is on the top floor of a 500 year old building directly across the dome of the Duomo. You can crack open windows and hear the gentle activity below, or close them up and enjoy peace and quiet. Air conditioning and wifi worked well. The unit is old (think 500 years old) but wonderfully kept up and perfect for our family of four. Prior reviews commented on the steps. Yes, there are steps, but it is worth it. If steps are a concern, then maybe it isn’t for you. Having said that, we are not in shape, and had no issue doing it many times a day. We would certainly return again!

Truly the best!

This was our second time staying at Luca's apartment. There was really nothing negative we could say about Luca and his place. You simply can't beat the location, being in the same plaza as the Duomo. Plenty of good restaurants around, and the best gelateria in Firenze (Gelateria Eduardo) is just on the other side of the Duomo from the apartment. The stairs can be a problem for people who have issues with climbing stairs. When we got there, Luca was there with a helper to get our suitcases up. That was definitely really helpful. Everything else was great. The apartment had skylight windows in the bedrooms and in the living room to let lights in, but they also have electrically controlled blinds that you can close if the sun becomes too much. When we stayed at Luca's place the first time in 2018, we promised we'd come back, and we were so glad we could stay there again this time. Hopefully we'll have many more chances to enjoy Luca's hospitality in the future!

Well worth the extra steps!

I could not believe it would be possible to stay this close to the Duomo when I booked this apartment in October. Not only is the location and view amazing, this home is completely updated and in pristine condition. It was perfect for our family of four adults. Yes, you climb many steps to get to it but we are an active family. In fact, one day we climbed the 463 steps to the top of the dome, 414 steps to the top of the bell tower and 150 steps to the terraces. Steps do not stop us. The only complaint I have is that my sons’ room had the better view of the Duomo. ;-) Looking out the window and watching people down below was a favorite activity. Luca was amazing. He explained everything thoroughly to us and was always available for questions. We asked for a restaurant recommendation and tried it on our last night there. We all loved our meals there. When the menu is handwritten and not with English translations you know it will be great! We didn’t want to leave Florence and this beautiful apartment! We will definitely return and spend more time exploring. Luca - plan on our return in the future for a longer stay!

Great location, read the fine print

We loved staying here! The Duomo is right outside your window, and it is in a very central location in the middle of Florence. Despite being in a hub, there wasn't much noise at night. Luca was also fantastic, and helped us in the apartment and climbed the stairs even though he had a hurt knee. That being said, make sure that you read the fine print on the listing description! Luca charges an additional 60 euros for cleaning, and we were charged an additional 15 for electricity for our two nights (and we didn't use that much). There is also the additional 4 euro/person/night in city tax, so it really adds up quickly.
