General note about Florence:
Florence in recent years has seen a significant increase in second-home owners and foreign buyers purchasing apartments to list as rental properties. Many of these apartments are also in very poor condition—often dating back to the 1970s and 1980s—and these older styles are generally not suitable for modern short-term rentals without significant renovation. This ultimately means that renovations and construction work are ongoing throughout the city and owners carrying out said works are under no obligation to inform other residents in the building, nor to provide details on the duration of the works or when the noisiest phases will occur. Florence city council allows construction and building work to take place Monday-Sunday, 8am to 8pm. It is an ongoing challenge when construction work takes place in a building where we own a luxury apartment and we apologise in advance if this happens during your stay. We will continue to strive to do our utmost to assist our clients if renovation construction work is taking place in the building where you are staying but unfortunately we cannot promise to know about said work prior to your arrival for the reasons stated above. Thank you for your understanding.

Perfect location to explore Florence, just steps from Ponte Vecchio. Immaculately maintained apartment with large common areas. The hosts, Anna and Erika were fantastic, and in fact Erika was our chef for a very special New Year’s dinner for my family of 7. Wish every property was this well located, maintained, and managed.

7 of us traveled from Alabama and Mississippi to celebrate Sheilo’s 60th birthday. This apartment was absolutely beautiful and in the perfect location. We enjoyed the food and wine, the sights and the shopping! I highly recommend the pasta cooking class — it was fabulous! Until next time!
Apartment was great and host communication was very good. Great location, large apartment, very clean. Exactly as described. We were very happy with our choice. Had one minor thing happen during our stay and the host took care of it immediately. Stayed with our family of 6.

About the host
Hosted by Donatella landi
Hello! My name is Donatella and I have been welcoming tourists to Florence since 1997! Born and raised in a charming small town of Tuscany, I’ve always been surrounded by beauty, tradition, and artistry. With a background in the fashion industry, my career sharpened my eye for detail and nurtured my passion for creating elegance in every aspect of life. This passion naturally extended to interior design where I channel my love for authenticity, comfort and understated luxury. A devoted traveler, I’ve been especially drawn to India, where I’ve embraced Ayurvedic wellness and the transformative power of its culture. My love for people, dogs and the simple joys of life inspire me to craft meaningful connections and experiences together with my husband Gianni who shares the same passions. Now being based in Florence, I bring this vision to life by offering unique apartments that are more than just a place to stay—they are a “home away from home.” Thoughtfully designed with comfort, authenticity and style, each space reflects my love for blending tradition with modern luxury. Whether you’re here to explore the rich history of the city or seek a serene retreat, I take pride in offering a truly memorable stay. I now embrace life with a balance of wisdom and curiosity. With a lifetime of experiences behind me, I find joy in both quiet reflection and engaging with the world around me, whether it’s pursuing hobbies, spending time with loved ones, or staying active, I approach every day with a sense of gratitude and purpose. My journey has been one of growth, resilience and discovery—and I’m always looking forward to the next chapter.
Why they chose this property
We have owned properties in Florence since 1997 and we feel that this area is very elegant with its important buildings who have belonged to the most important renaissance families. It is quaint, charming and quiet especially in the evening. There are lots of wine bars, nice local restaurants too such as Trattoria La Casalinga and Enoteca Spontanea!
What makes this property unique
This home is attention to detail, charming and elegant located in one of the most splendid piazzas in the whole of Florence.
