About this property

Beautiful Apartment In The Very Hearth Of Florence With Extraordinary View

An exceptional setting in the very heart of Florence 150 meters from the Dome.
Via dell'Alloro is a quiet street situated between the station, the Dome and the Medici Chappels. It is parallel to the main street of the center: so very close to shops, monuments and all you can see in Florence but at the same time quite without traffic.
A tourist could ask for no better location in Florence.

The home is on the second floor of a historic building without elevator.
Uffizi Apartment was renovated in 2016. Very elegant indeed with its contemporary furnishings, it is an enchanting place to live, highly functional and perfect in every detail.
Parquet, air conditioning in every room, two bathrooms and a spectacoular balcony.
It is warm in winter and cool in summer thanks to the air conditioning but also to the extremely massive walls typical of historical edifices and its excellent exposure. The large windows make for bright and airy spaces.

From the entrance, on the links side, you have the first triple bedroom which is 20sqm, very large and bright. It also has a double sofa bed. One aisle leads to the first larger barthroom and then the living area, a comfortable parlor distinct from, but well-connected to, the kitchen that opens onto it further ahead.
From the living area you have the entrance of the second smaller double sleeping room with small privat bathroom. from the linving room again you have onother room (the dining room) the place is simply exception because of the view on the big Medici Chappel which is in front of you! You can hae a drink in the small terrace lokking at this monument that sems to be into the apartment.
The home can very comfortably accommodate even 6 adults. The two bedrooms are separate from the living area and the kitchen and the two bathrooms guarantee extreme privacy.
The living room can accommodate 2 people more because of the double sofa bed.

the living room is a comfortable space opening into the kitchen area and furnished with a soft sofa (which can become a double bed), a flat-screen television and book case. Here one can sip a drink before dinner or relax, reading or watching TV.
the kitchen is fully equipped, its colors light hues of pine, with a large refrigerator-freezer, oven, microwave oven, toaster and every utensil needed for cooking. The table seats 6-8 persons.
These ample spaces make for a quality of life that can last a few days or months and even years.

Living in Italy for 10 days…..

Excellent location if you want easy access to SMN Train station, Duomo, Market, Ponte Vecchio bridge even, shops and restaurants and all that’s in between. Apartment is well suited for a short stay, we were 4 adults, the stairs were not a problem (only on second level). Great place to have a great visit in Italy.

Lovely apartment Close to everything!

Using What’s App we had great communication with our host. We were met by Cesar who showed us the apartment and gave us wonderful recommendations for restaurants. There is a book at the apartment that answers all your questions. We walked everywhere from the apartment- just a short walk to the Duomo. The beds were comfy, the apartment spotlessly clean and the host very attentive.

Just right

Super spot for two couples. Great access to popular sites. View from the dining room just like the photo. Loved having the little washing machine to catch up on laundry. Clean and room to spread out a little. We didn’t mind the stairs but they might be a factor for some.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Firenze and this apartment was a perfect spot for us. It was very clean and was well appointed in a modern style. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to explore or dine. Mathias was thorough as he checked us in, and gave us some practical ideas for our stay. The view from the small balcony was a welcome sight and enhanced the overall experience. I recommend this to anyone who is visiting Florence for a few days! Brad and Jani Stephan Lynden. WA USA

Lovely property with view of duomo

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here on a trip to Europe. It was our first landing spot on a two week vacation. The apartment was wonderful and roomy and had everything you could need to make a meal or relax on the balcony. The apartment was spic and span! Instructions were very clear on how to work everything in the apartment and the beds were very comfortable. The location is excellent and makes, every point in Florence easily walkable. The only concern is if you have anyone with a walking difficulty, there are three large staircases that are quite narrow and you will need to take suitcases up. Aside from this, you will love your stay at this charming and lovely duomo view apartment!

Great Location but Lacking A Bit

This was a great apartment located about a block or two from the Duomo. Easy access to all the primary sites in central Florence. The apartment itself was a bit cramped, but I guess that was as advertised. To make this a top-notch spot, I would suggest providing the "extras." For example, it would have been special to arrive at the apartment and find a bottle of wine, and perhaps a few basics in the refrigerator. This is what I look for in order to give top grades. Otherwise it was an adequate place, clean, perfectly situated, but cramped.

Great Apartment!

This was an amazing apartment. The location was ideal-less than a 10 minute walk from the train station. Mattias met us at the apartment and showed us all around. He spent lots of time answering our questions and giving us great recommendations for restaurants and things to do. So glad we listened!! The apartment was perfect for our family. Two bedrooms with very comfortable beds and two bathrooms. The bathrooms are on the small side, but can't expect large ones in the middle of the city. There was a large washing machine with a great drying rack that came in very handy. Overall a very comfortable apartment that I would highly recommend!! Additionally, it is very close to great restaurants, shopping, and museums. Would definitely stay here again!

In the heart of Florence

This property is near everything you want to see in Florence. A block or so from the Cathedral, 7 minutes walk to SMN Train station, 12 minutes to the major place where tours take off to go through the Italian countryside. Near it are at least 2 grocery stores, 2 laundromats and the Mercato market. It was a great home base. A few things to consider are the very narrow stairs up to the apartment on the 3rd landing so if your mobility is an issue, be aware. In Italy you must take your trash down to collection areas that are all over town and a block away is the nearest one to this apartment. Also if you are staying more than 7 days you will be required to pay the utilities you use. We found this apartment to be just what we needed in an area that we could easily find once we began venturing further out into the city.

Location Location Location

If you want to stay in the historical center of Florence, this location is excellent. Everyday we were only several minutes walk from anyplace we wanted to explore in Florence, and were also conveniently near the train station, which allowed us to take a day trip to Venice, and a train to the airport. The property itself was clean and suitable size for 2 couples. 36 steps from the street entrance to the apartment door, no lift. Not a problem for us, but be aware if you have mobility issues or lots of large bags. Comfortable beds. Kitchen well suited for basic needs; clothes washer appreciated! No problems with check-in. Local information & instructions provided in English. We did send a question several weeks in advance of our stay, but did not get a response until much later (weeks); otherwise, communication on the day of check in & during stay was fine. Can recommend & would be comfortable staying here again.

Wouldn't recommend- not as shown

Wow I've stayed a many VRBOs but this was the worst. 1. Let's start off that the VRBO ad NEVER mentioned no elevators. If you plan to have luggage like most people do when they travel to Europe, get ready to carry it almost 3 levels of stairs. 2. The pictures of the apartment look different than the actual apartment. Walls were filthy, walls look scratched and needs a complete new paint job. The furniture if worn out and looks old. 3. The AC in the "master bedroom" barely worked and we had to sweat two nights until we slept in the living room. 4. The street is very loud and you hear EVERYTHING all day and morning. 5. The apartment was DIRTY, literally dust balls. Definitely was not clean. The host tell offer to have someone come clean but I didn't feel comfortable with anyone in the apartment with our things. 6. Bathrooms very outdated and are extremely tiny, especially the shower. Would NOT recommend this VRBO to anyone.
