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.

Clean and spacious

First of all, the location was perfect. It was right near everything you wanted to see, making it perfect for these hot summer days of early exploring, an afternoon shower and lounge in the apartment, and then head out for a late dinner at one of the many restaurants nearby.It was also close enough to the train station to walk without too much trouble, although the route Google recommends are down streets with tiny, rough sidewalks. It's no problem while exploring, but it's a trek if you have rolling luggage. On the way out we took the longer route through Duomo Plaza and it was much better.I would 100% recommend!

Beautiful, Clean, Great Location and QUIET

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.

Fantastic Location.

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.

Amazing location

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!

Great place

We loved our stay in Florence and the place was everything that we asked for. The location was perfect and with 6 guests, the 3 bedrooms and especially the 3 bathrooms made things a little easier. The pictures were accurate and there was plenty of space for everyone. The only negatives we had was the walk from the train station. Not far at all but we brought a good amount of baggage and the narrow sidewalks and streets pulling bags behind us was more of a task than what we expected. The other was one bedroom had a 4 to 5 inch lip on the floor and we knew it was there, but a few of us still managed to trip and fall numerous times. Other than that, nothing but praise for this place and the host. Wouldn't hesitate one minute to stay here again! everyone.

Perfection in Florence

My adult children and I stayed in this very well appointed apartment for 3 nights. The location was perfect (around the corner from the David). Easy walking to everything we wanted to do and see in Florence. The apartment layout was great for our group. We loved ending our days around the kitchen table playing cards, laughing and recapping the memories we made that day. Isn't that was travel is really about? It is described in other reviews, but the stairs up to the apartment are quite steep, but only two flights and worth the effort!

Great place, great location

Beautiful place, clean and spacious. Perfect location for us to walk to all the famous attractions. Owners were very responsive to questions and helpful with suggestions. Very easy check-in. Fair warning… the narrow entry staircase is marble, and we forgot that the 2nd floor in Europe is technically the 3rd floor (for Americans). Since we were 5 adults on an extended holiday, lugging the luggage and wine carriers was quite a workout! (But that was on us!). We highly recommend this place.
