About this property

At the Heart of Florence with Private Garden and Parking

This charming and unique apartment sets on the ground floor of a historic building right at Florence's Historic Center. It is strategically situated just 5 minutes walk from Piazza Santa Croce, and 15 minutes walk from Piazza Signoria and The Ufizzi.

This accommodation has been restored (last renovation on november 2016) and converted into an adorable apartment, very well furnished and with modern facilities. The highlight is its private, sunny garden with dining table for 'al fresco' meals. Private parking is also available.

There is a cosy living room , dining room at a veranda facing the garden, well equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook a delicious Tuscan meal, a master double room with fresco ceiling with in suite bathroom, a double bedroom with 2 single beds, a studio with 2 single beds plus one bathroom with shower. All bathrooms are made with Carrara marble.

The market of Santo Ambrogio , the most characteristic food market in Florence is only at 5 minutes walk. It is a nice way to wake up in the morning, have a lazy breakfast with a true cappuccino or espresso and take a tour around fresh and exquisite season vegetables and fruits or local cheese just smelling the flower's newest aromas.

All around, there are many restaurants and bars where local Fiorentini go for a quick coffee, lunch and dinner meals, with a vast selection of places running from wine bars, wooden oven pizzerias, local trattorie and famous restaurants.

From there, you can also rent bikes to visit Florence everywhere you want to go!

The famous FLEA MARKET of Florence is located in Piazza dei Ciompi at only 10 minutes walk from the apartment. It opens every day from 9 to 19.30. If you're lucky enough to go there on the last Sunday of every month, the stalls extend into the surrounding streets. Here you can find furniture and objects from the past, prints, coins and jewellery. It's worth a trip if only to get insights on Italy's past through the artifacts displayed in these cluttered stalls.


I live close by and available 24/7.

We enjoyed our stay at VRBO property in Florence. Christina was very helpful and accommodating. Only negative was parking. Space provided was very tight and very difficult to back medium-sized SUV into, Scraped rear door backing into space which will most likely result in a large repair bill. Don’t recommend driving in Florence!

This apartment was perfect. I stayed here with my sister and mother. It is a beautiful apartment with charm and comfort. It was spacious with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and full modern kitchen. The sun/eating room was lovely each morning. We also loved the neighborhood where we were walking distance to all major sites, but removed just enough that we didn't have to be in the center of tourist traffic. Lovely restaurants nearby. Also, Christina was a lovely host. She provided us with all the important information that we needed which made our stay easy.
