About this property
Accademia - Flo Apartments
Located in the very heart of Florence city center, a stone’s throw from Academy Gallery (where the David of Michelangelo is), Piazza del Duomo, Piazza Signoria and from Piazza SS.Annunziata, Accademia Apartment is on the 2 floor without elevator (30 steps) of a historic building surrounded by the most authentic Florence.
This original, bright and elegant charmeìing apartment will be the ideal starting point to discover and fully dip in the culture, history and art of our gorgeous ancient town. The house has 3 wide bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (2 of which ensuite), a large living with a comfortable double sofabed, and can accomodate up to 8 persons. Located in Via degli Alfani, an old street that links the Sant’Ambrogio and Santa Maria Novella districts, and full of memories of its long past, the apartment overlooks almost entirely an internal courtyard, reason why it preserves absolute peace and quiet, even though it’s in the most lively part of the city center. Totally restored and returned to new life, the apartment is wide, tastly decorated with elegance and attention to details, creating a perfect mix between ancient and modernity. Perfect for families’ and friends’ holidays, Sweet Home L’Accademia is equipped with all the comfort which will make your holiday an experience to tell. Entering the apartment you can immediately feel the welcoming and relaxing atmosphere: the parquet floor, that cover the entire apartment, warms the environment, and the light colors of the furniture, give you a true relaxing sensation, to charge your energies after a day of visits and strolling in the hustle and bustle of the city. On the right you will find the large and bright living room, furnished with a stylish sofa that easily turns, if needed, in a comfortable double bed to welcome also the biggest groups, TV, coffee table and 2 Louis xv style armchairs, brought back to new beauty by the expert hand of the owner, who customized all the rooms with her own paintings and mirrors. Next to the living room, the luminous kitchen-dinner room overlooking Via degli Alfani, is a mix of style and sobriety, furnished with a beautiful crystal table, chairs and a modern kitchenette equipped with all you may need to prepare and taste peacefully your breakfast, lunch and dinner everytime you wish (oven, microwave, dish washer, moka, kettle etc.) From the entrance, a bright hall leads to the sleeping area: on the right there is the first double bedroom with a little desk and wide windows overlooking an inner court. Opposite the first bedroom there is the master bathroom with elegant marble tiles, a wide shower and the washing machine At the end of the hall on the right you will find another double bedroom with ensuite bathroom and on the left another room with twinbeds, that if needed turn into a double one, and a complete bathroom ensuite. All the bedrooms are furnished with clothes stands, desks or dresser, darkening curtains. Elegant paintings and mirrors enrich the walls of the entire apartment, creating colourful notes all around. Wi-fi and aircon cover all the apartment. Since the apartment is in the ZTL (reduced traffic area), our guests that wish to arrive by car, can park at Garage Michelangelo, 160meter away (2min walk) from the entrance of the building, and forget about the car, cause the main attractions of Florence are reachable with a 5 minutes walk.

Great location! Half a block away from the Galleria dell’Academia where the Statue of David is. This was the first place we visited once we arrived. Very quiet and the A/C units kept the temperature very comfortable. There’s no elevator to access the apartment so be prepared to haul your luggage up three sets of stairs to get to the front door.

Excellent location. Excellent communication. Apartment was quite cold for a winter stay - in particular the back bedroom was chilly. Limited seating in the lounge area.

Rounding up from 4.456. Spacious apartment. Decent, not great beds (really flat pillows) but serviceable. Towels were good! (Made in Italy.) Host was quickly communicative. Appreciate the night stand tables, and wish all hosts provided them. Terrific location.

Barbara was a great host, very responsive in communications prior to our arrival to make our check in process seamless. Property was as advertised … clean and very spacious for our family of five adults. Great location … close to Firenze Santa Maria Novella Station with many restaurants near by. Property had everything we needed with no issues. Definitely would recommend this property.

Glad to know you enjoyed!
We love the location. It was convenient to all the key sites in Florence. The check-in process was easy and smooth and our host was very helpful prior to our arrival. The unit is very clean and well equipped. We love the fact that the bedrooms and bathrooms were all on the back side of the apartment, so there was little or no noise. We would definitely stay there again on our next trip to Florence.

We really enjoyed our stay at this spacious apartment. The team at FLO apartments was super communicative, the information about the house and location was nicely organized, it was truly a great launchpad for our vacation. We're a family of four, with a 21 year old and a 16 year old and we would absolutely stay here again if we return. We were visiting our daughter who is studying abroad so it was perfect for her to stay with us while we were visiting. Lovely home, great management team and an all in great experience.

Hello Cynthia,
thank you for being our guest and for your review.
I am sorry you did not read the description, because it is writtent that the apartment is on the second floor.
You chose an apartment in a very ancient building and, like almost the old buildings in Florence city center, it has not a lift
The apartment was everything we could ask for, with all of the amenities, great air conditioning, laundry, and a full kitchen. Steps from the statue of David and close to all other attractions in Florence

This place was amazing! Perfect location, quiet at night but so close to everything in the city, walking everywhere was a breeze from the apartments location. The beds were great and everything was super clean. My credit card kept getting denied when the host tried to run it and she was so patient with us as we were having trouble getting our bank to accept the charge. I would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend!
