About this property

Cynthia's garden- Apartment with private garden

Modern and cozy apartment with large private garden, located in Florence in the Santa Croce area. Recommended for 4 people, it can accommodate up to 6 for short periods by using a sofa bed in the living area. It has 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom.

DESCRIPTION
The apartment is located on the ground floor (two steps down) of a building on Via Ghibellina, a very lively street (shops, restaurants, theater ..) very close to Piazza Santa Croce, therefore in the heart of Florence and a few minutes walk away from the main monuments. At the same time it is located not far from the ring roads and close to a large underground car park (subject to charges).

The apartment is very quiet because it is located in an internal courtyard, and has a nice private garden furnished with tables, chairs and deck chairs, excellent opportunity for a moment of relaxation, a drink or an outdoor dinner.
Inside the garden there is a small laundry room that contains the washing machine and the dryer.

The apartment, recently renovated, is modern and located on two levels (65 sqm). It is ideal to accommodate 4 people, but can accommodate up to 6 thanks to the double sofa bed which is perfect for children.
On the first level, open on the garden, there is the living area (kitchen, with dishwasher, foldaway in a large wardrobe, extendable dining table for 6 people, comfortable sofa bed 140 cm wide and SmartTV), a double bedroom (non-separable bed, 160 cm wide, bed side tables and a wardrobe), a small corridor and a complete bathroom with shower.
Going up then 11 rather narrow steps you arrive at the loft (ceiling height 180 cm) where there is the second double bedroom (inseparable bed, 160 cm wide, large chest of drawers and wall hanger) that overlooks the living area thanks to a glass structure that helps to give light to the upper floor.

Independent heating and air conditioning

Garden maintenance: we inform you that the gardener will generally go to the garden after 6.00 pm (on the weekend he could come at different times) to water the plants as needed depending on the weather conditions. Obviously it won't water if guests are in the garden.

GUEST ACCESS
Guests have access to the whole house, the garden and the laundry, full use of the kitchen, sheets and towels provided.

INTERACTION WITH GUESTS
We will personally welcome guests to the apartment for key collection and to show the amenities. We don't live there so we need to set the check-in time in advance.
In case we cannot be available personally, we'll activate a self the check-in procedure, about which we'll send instructions in advance.

OTHER THINGS TO HIGHLIGHT
-Excluded from the price: Tourist tax of € 6 per person per night, for the first 7 nights of stay only for those over 12 years. This fee will be paid upon check-in. For more information see the multilingual information available at home.
-In case of check-in in presence from 21.00 to 24.00 will be applied an additional cost of € 30, from 24.00 to 3.00 the cost will be € 50.
-The linen change for long stays is done every 7 days. Extra linen is charged to the guest.
-For 4 guests we mean 2 double beds, any need to use the sofa bed must be notified in advance and will be charged € 25 for extra linen, to be paid at check-in.

HOW TO GET:
If you arrive in Florence by plane you can reach the apartment by taxi. Taxis apply a flat rate to and from the airport: €28 standard, €30 on holidays, €32 at night (from 10pm to 6am). If you arrive by train you have 3 options: walking (25 minutes), taxi (queue at the station exit), or electric bus C2, from the Orti Oricellari stop, which is found when exiting the station on the right side, direction Beccaria, stop Malborghetto.
If you arrive by car, the nearest motorway exit is Firenze Sud. However, you should know that the house is located within the ZTL (limited traffic zone, active weekdays from 07:30 to 20:00 and Saturday from 07:30 to 16:00 and in summer, from first Thursday of April to the first Sunday of October, also on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 23:00 to 03:00 the next morning), so pay close attention to road signs of restricted access and telematic doors. The telematic access door to get to the apartment is in via dell'Agnolo. Then we advise you to park in the nearest underground pay parking, which is the S. Ambrogio car park or, if this is sold out, the Piazza Beccaria car park, just farther away. We inform you that these car parks do not offer a daily rate, but only an hourly rate.

Another possibility is to book a private garage, which has the possibility, by signaling your license plate, to allow you to go through the telematic door without taking a fine. The nearest garages are the Bargello garage, in via Ghibellina 170 / r and the Garage Verdi, in, in via Giovanni Da Verrazzano 9.

Sabrina’s place is perfect!

This house was perfect for our family of 5. The house is an old monastery and is really beautiful. The kitchen has everything we needed for a short stay. The bakery just around the corner was the perfect spot for breakfast and the washer and dryer came in so handy! Sabrina and Marco meet us upon arrival and we’re very kind. We would definitely stay here again!

Absolute Perfection

We had such a lovely stay - the apartment is a quiet oasis in the city yet close to all the must-see attractions. The area is safe and we were able to walk to everything - restaurants, museums, the river. Sabrina was a perfect hostess who was always quick to reply to any question. The apartment itself was clean, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed - including strong AC in the August heat!

Charming and comfortable

From the first minute when Sabrina met us for an early check-in, we were charmed by this apartment and impressed by the great hospitality of our host. The apartment is exactly as it looks in the pictures, and it had all the right amenities. It was also very clean and fresh smelling. The garden was an added bonus and we took advantage of relaxing in it on a beautiful afternoon as a break from seeing the sights. The location is also very convenient to everything. And the beds were very comfortable.

The apartment is absolutely perfect! In the heart of Florence and close to everything, super clean with excellent air conditioning even in the summer heat. Sabrina is lovely and extremely quick to respond via email, even called a taxi for us. Considering the prices of hotels, this apartment is also an excellent deal! Lots of space, a washer/dryer, and cute private garden!! Book if you can!!

Garden gem in the heart of the city.

Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay in this cute home within 15-20 minutes of everything we wanted to do and see in Florence. This hosts were responsive and the home was clean, beds were comfortable. Our children (18 & 20) stayed upstairs. If you have little ones, I would be careful having them upstairs as the stairs are steep and narrow but with a good railing. Overall, we had a perfect stay and it was a nice way to start our vacation.

Highly recommend - Sabrina was super helpful and accommodating

The garden apartment was perfect for me and my 2 friends. Super clean, and nicely decorated, beds were comfortable, a/c worked well, kitchen was stocked with espresso and American coffee (yay). Good location - about 3 blocks away from the action. Overall, a great experience. We did have an issue with warm water in the shower. Not sure if we missed something so may want to ask about that before booking.

Great Stay

Cynthia’s Garden was excellent for my family of 4. It was very clean, comfortable and relaxing. The outdoor garden was great to relax in the morning with a cappuccino and the laundry - with a dryer - was great. The location is great, right across from a great bakery and easy walk to the main sights. Overall, we were very happy to use this as our home base in Tuscany.

Fantastic and Excellent

Wonderful stay and I highly recommend this place to anyone lucky to book this place. Comfortable, clean, great communication, very good location in a quiet area but close to many sights. Having a washer and dryer was super helpful. We had a family of 5 that fit fine but you may have to sacrifice the living room sofa though we were hardly there to worry about it. The sun filled room, tall beautiful class doors and windows and beautiful garden added to the charm. Furnishings were great, beds comfortable and great towels. Also, her information booklet was very helpful and restaurant recommendations were great. Thank you for a fantastic stay!! So glad we found this place!
