About this property

Apartment in a 13th Century palace in the heart of Florence

Unusual, romantic apartment full of atmosphere in one of Florence's oldest areas - that once occupied by the Roman amphitheatre. Indeed, the street takes its name from one of the principal entrances into the arena. Just 50m from the church of Santa Croce Church, 200m from Piazza Signoria, 100m from Piazza del Duomo, 200m from the Uffizzi Gallery and Ponte Vecchio, and 10m from Vivoli, Florence's best known ice cream parlour!! The apartment, on the first floor of this antique palazzo, is accessed via a flight of 24 steps (no elevator). It offers 2 double bedrooms (one with a French bed - 140x200 cm ), which look onto the open plan sitting room area, a fully appointed kitchen, a marble dining table for 6. It is tastefully furnished with the owner's personal belongings and is equipped with a TV, DVD and CD player, stereo, WI-FI, dishwasher, washing-machine, air cond
Just walking through the central courtyard of this beautiful Palazzo is a journey to the heart of historic Florence. Centrally located, it is perfect for sight seeing, shopping and food markets, discovering cosy trattorie and bars, as well as artists' and artisans' ateliers.
Good for 2 up to 4 guests ( 5 guests on request )

A great first impression of Florence! Fabrizio and Diego were both easy to communicate with and followed up almost immediately with questions we had. The flat was lovely to stay in and was as advertised. It was so nice to have a washer to do our laundry. The flat itself is lovely… a real travellers paradise with items displayed from all parts of the world. The one thing I would caution people on is the stairs to the loft bedroom are steep. We had no problem, but if you have mobility issues you may want to stay in the bedroom on the main level.

Fantastic Place in a Great Location

We loved our time here!! Vivoli is right around the corner (coffee, gelato… or both with an affogato) and the Osteria Cafe Italiano (brick oven wood fired pizza) is just a little farther down. Both were excellent. We enjoyed the fact we were just off the main path, but only a block or so from the Basilica of Santa Croce and so many of the sites we wanted to see were within walking distance. Check in was easy and Deigo was very helpful and so willing to answer any questions or address any needs we had. Highly recommend.

Nice stay

We enjoyed our stay here - the apartment is nicely equipped with everything we needed. Everything is within walking distance yet the apartment still feels pretty quiet overall. This is an apartment for people who don’t mind the stairs as it is on the second floor and one bed is in the loft which requires using the ladder to go and up down as well.

Stay in Florence

Good location, but loud at night if windows open. It can get stuffy with the windows closed due to limited airflow, but the fans helped.

Perfect Home Base for Visiting Florence

From the start, Fabrizzio (owner) was very responsive and helpful. Diego met us as soon as we arrived at the apartment despite our being delayed about 5 hours. The apartment is lovely and spacious and worked very well for the two couples. Bathroom worked very well. There are two A/C units and fans that kept us plenty cool enough and we visited during a heat wave (5 days of temps in mid-90s to 100). We didn’t cook (too lazy) but used the kitchen for lunches and breakfast and it had all you need for cooking. The location itself is outstanding - very central and short distance from anything you might want to see in Florence. We also had Fabrizzio take us on a day trip tour (driving us to San Gimignano, Siena and lunch and wine tasting in Chianti at a friendly, fun locally-owned winery). The tour was excellent and Fabrizzio makes for wonderful company. I very highly recommend both the apartment and a tour!!

Perfect Spot In Florence

We absolutely loved this place. It was just a few minute walk to town but far enough away that it was super loud at night. We were greeted at the front door and given a tour which was awesome! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a weekend getaway in Florence!
