This apartment was exactly as described and depicted. It is a great location, so close to The Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Santa Croce, etc. Tons of cafes and osterias right outside the door - and do't miss the wine window on the corner!!! It was clean, and great a/c (there was a heatwave while we were there, so that was a bonus!) I highly recommend this place and the owner was quick to respond and easy to work with.

Beautiful, large apartment within walking distance of all attractions

The apartment is large and beautifully decorated, and it was spotlessly clean. Our family of 5 stayed here while visiting Florence, and the location made it easy for us to walk to all of the attractions and restaurants, and this was a wonderful place to come back and relax in. The manager was very responsive and accommodating to requests. We would definitely stay here again.

Florence historic apartment

Spectacular architecture and history in this apartment! We felt transported to a different time, but with the comforts of the present. Awesome private terrace garden, and could not beat the location. We are a family of 5 with 3 adult children and all were amazed by this place. Most unique place we have stayed as a family. Highly recommend!

Beautiful home and terrace

We loved our stay in Florence in Marie's apartment. It was an accurate description and a beautiful home. The artwork was really interesting and added to the charm. We had our own private and quiet terrace for coffee or wine. Water pressure great. Beds comfortable. Marie was easy to reach. Thank you for making our visit to Firenze wonderful!

Cozy

What a neat little hideaway in Florence. Close to all the monuments and sight you want to see. In quiet part of town. The apartment was outfitted well with appliances, washer, and two bathrooms. The overall vibe of the apartment was cozy. We were so sad when our stay ended. Felt like our home. Host Marie was great. Very responsive to questions! Thanks. Hope to go back to Florence soon and stay here!

This place deserves 10 stars!

This is an incredible apartment. We loved the old world ambience, the perfect location, the imaginative decorating and the outdoor oasis. I can’t imagine finding a better place to stay in Firenze. The place was so beautiful, it was hard to leave to go sightseeing! I enjoyed reading in the living room surrounded by floor to ceiling books—so cozy! Our grown children loved the outdoor patio. Although it rained almost the whole time we were there, we still sat outside and enjoyed the garden. The lighting was magical after dark. We felt fortunate to find this gem in the heart of the city. Thank you!

Santa Croce Cozy Classic Apartment

We loved Marie's apartment! The location is ideal on a quiet street in residential area, a short walk to everything Florence offers. The listing photos give a good idea of the lovely interiors and veranda. We settled in so easily and enjoyed Marie's eclectic, traditional decor - she has a wonderful sense of design! Everything was easy to find, clean and in good working order. We also really appreciated her notebook of local insider tips. Marie is very responsive and a terrific host. She anticipated our every need, including reserving a taxi for departure. Thank you, Marie! We hope to return soon!

A truly distinctive home filled with personal details. The living space is grand in an Old World way, overlooking a large interior courtyard terrace for private use. The location is central, very close to all the major landmarks, yet amazingly quiet. The kitchen is well equipped, but there are numerous restaurants and cafes in the immediate area as well. No views, but the sounds of the Duomo bells are softly magical. Marianne is a thoughtful and friendly host. A truly memorable stay in splendid Firenze.

About the host

Host profile image
I'm French and I have been living in Florence for a very long time (almost 30 years). I travel a lot both for my work and my vacation. 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 I don't like washing the dishes, I want it quiet because I am on vacation, I want it nice because my home is nice! I speak French, english, italian and learning spanish because my eldest son leaves in Colombia. I couldn't leave without my yoga and my main interest are the oriental philosophies from which I have learned a lot.

Why they chose this property

This property is an incredible mix of art and history. Its location first of all is in a very historic, medieval neighborhood., very lively and 2 steps away from the main sightseeings. The building was built in 1400 and the terrace is very unusual. This property is unique and gives you the flavor of how Florence was at the time of The Renaissance .

What makes this property unique

the big terrace is very unusual in the historical center, the size of the rooms, the frescoes on the ceilings and the renovation trying to maintain the antique character mixed up with modern comfort.
