About this property

The 3 - room apartment (60 m 2) is on the 2nd Floor (without elevator) of a palazzo that belonged to the famous Cavalcanti family in the Middle Ages. The building is now a listed building and has only recently been restored. The living space is optimally divided: spacious entrance with wardrobe, 2 bedrooms each with double bed and private bathroom (with shower) as well as a cozy, fully equipped kitchen and dining area with pull-out sofa. The lovingly chosen furnishings, the terracotta floor and the antique wooden ceiling give the studio an authentic Florentine atmosphere. At the same time, the apartment has every modern convenience: air conditioning, Wi-Fi, TV, dishwasher and washing machine.

The extremely central location offers the ideal starting point for conquering the city. Just a few steps, just around the corner, and you are in the middle of Piazza della Signoria. Sit down for a cappuccino in the Café Rivoire, admire the Loggia dei Lanzi, the Palazzo Vecchio - while you are making plans for the new day of your vacation. Could you start with a visit to the Uffizi Gallery, which, like most of the city's sights, is within walking distance of the apartment? Or they stroll through the surrounding streets, get some luck at the bronze 'Porcellino' fountain and walk over the Ponte Vecchio to the characteristic Oltrarno district, where they still work over the shoulder of the Florentine artisans in traditional 'Botteghe' can look.
The apartments CATERINA (2 pers.) And LORENA (4 pers.) Offer their guests countless possibilities to experience the city up close and authentically.

Great location

55 steps from the street to the apartment door and no elevator so be prepared. A very nice apartment however right in the heart of things in Florence. A 15 minute walk to the train station. Comfortable apartment with two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Perfect location, very convinient --walk everywhere!

We were visiting Florence in May, 2 families no children. This apartment was just perfect for us -- 2 separate bedrooms, with full bathroom each, so we had enough privacy, spacious living room, fully equipped kitchen. Very clean and well maintained. Walking distance to everywhere! Central train station 20 min max! Jessica was very nice giving us detailed directions and meeting us at the steps of the apartment. Highly recommend! We enjoyed our stay!

excellent location, fun and safe

Our stay in Florence at your apartment in the middle of October was awesome. Certainly 5 out of 5 starts; perfect location - 5-20 minute walk to most of the major sites, on a street that was not very noisy, just the happy sound of walkers chatting, and very safe!; the apartment was clean, comfortable and well-appointed; communication and delivery of the keys worked well. I would definitely stay at this apartment if I am lucky enough to visit Florence again, and I will certainly recommend it to my friends.

Charming apartment Lorena

We 4 people stayed in the lovely Lorena apartment for 3 nights in July 2014. The location couldn´t be better. We took the bus C2 from the train station to the nearest bus stop as my father could´t walk long, the distance is about 20 min walking with luggage. Jessica (or Regina?) waited for us at the front door, she spoke German and explained us everything. She gave us many useful suggestions: breakfast, dinner, grocery, ice cream... Everything was well prepared, we signed the contract and made an appointment for checking out. We also got 2 pair of keys that we could go out separately. There is a booklet which shows a lot of secret tips about Florece, we find it amazing! The apartment is on the 2nd floor of an old building. The stairs behind the main entrance are quite narrow. The apartment has 2 bedrooms , 2 baths and a living room with kitchenette. It is a clean and cozy place with nearly everything: Wi-Fi, AC, washing machine, laundry rack, refrigerator, dish washer... We also love the old wood furniture as well as the wood windows/balcony doors:) The only suggestion I would make would be some dish clothes and cleaner. We had to buy them from the small supermarket. The location of the apartment is just too good to be true. We could get everywhere on foot. We visited Italy at the peak time, me and my boyfriend had to figure out it was too noisy in the night. Even with closed window, we couldn´t sleep very well. The location of the apartment is so convenient, but at the same time too many people walked throught the street under our bedroom's window, they talked and laughed loudly in the middle of night... My parents' bedroom doen´t has such problem, it has a balcony towards the courtyard. I would recommend this apartment to my friends, but maybe in the low season.
