Both apartments belong to an ancient bulding dated back to the XIV century and share a private entrance from the road, in front of the magnificent stonewall of the medieval S. Remigio Church, in one of the oldest and most famous area of Florence.
The units can be booked togehter becomig a unique property and can accomodate up to 10 guests.
The location is so central that you can easily get back home any time of the day for a quick rest or a bite and go out again to visit this magnificent city. With all kind of shops just around the corner and Piazza della Signoria at 1 minutes walk, these property are really in the centre of the centre! With some of the best restaurants, ice-cream, fresh pasta, street food an coffee bar just around the corner you'll be able to enjoy your staying with no efforts trying to find out where you can have the best ice-cream of Florence!!
The Simona apartment has a master bedroom with a large queen bed, a twins' bedroom, a dining area with the kitchen and a large table that can comfortably accomodate up to 5 guests. The sitting room is provided with a large couch that can be transformed in a large single bed for a 5th guests, two bergere chairs, table coffee and tv, a full contemporary bathroom with a shower completes the interiors.
History and leisure: The entire historical centre of Florence has been declared World Heritage by the UNESCO and Via Vinegia is just in the middle of it! All the major sites are within walking distance: Piazza della Signoria and the Uffizi Gallery, Ponte vecchio, The Duomo, The magnificent church of Santa Croce: everything is just around the corner. And if you like to try the very best food you have a choice of restaurants and, most of all, you are at 10 min. walking from one of the oldest and most famous market in Florence, The Sant'Ambrogio market where you can buy the most exquisite traditional food.. and as far as ice-cream is concerned, Vivoli (the most famous one) is at 3 min walking Via de Neri, the road at 20 mt from Via Vinegia is full of all kind of shops: groceries, take away, chemistry, fruiters, ice-cream, bakeries, mini market, bars, laundry...

Car: The centre of Florence is closed to car with specific rules. We suggest you NOT TO ARRIVE WITH A CAR if you can. You won't need (and you won't be allowed too) to use it during your staying in the city. Florence is on the main fast trains line that connects all the main italian cities: Rome, Milan, Naples, Bologna.. on this line trains run every 20/30 minutes and the rides are definetely much shorter than a car trip. Also from Venice fast trains are available and a train ride from Pisa airport takes only 1.10 hour.. So if you plan to take a car just to reach Florence we strongly recommend to check trains instead.
But in case you should have it, we will be glad to give you all the informations you may need for entering and parking in this area.

Really enjoyed staying in this property. It is well situated and close to all the attractions. The property was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We had a wonderful time in Florence.
Great location and very comfortable apartment. The washer was great and the access ro Netflix was appreciated. The small balcony was lovely for our happy hour!
This apartment is centrally located and we walked everywhere. The patio is a great space and we enjoyed a bottle of wine out there. Being able to wash during our stay was very helpful. Simone was great and answered any question we had. Would definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay in florence
What a great property and location for a vacation in Florence! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your wonderful
Property!
Just the right size for my friend and I to stay. Kitchen is well stocked and even has a washer in the bathroom, which came in handy. Nice shower too. Absolutely loved the private terrace for coffee in the morning and relaxing after being out all day. Simona, the owner, was extremely helpful with all questions and even set up taxis for us on arrival and to the airport the day we left.

Great, central, clean and well appointed apartment. Highly recommended.
Apartment has a great location and clean and comfortable accommodations. Simona was great to work with during our stay and helped with arranging transportation for our group. Would definitely stay here again if in Florence.
We loved our stay in Simona's place. So comfortable and centrally located. Right around the corner from our favorite coffee place. Simona was incredibly communicative before and during our stay whenever we had a question. We will absolutely stay here in the future.
Wonderful property located close enough to everything. Perfect size for a family of four- very cozy and had all the amenities one would need for a short stay in Florence. Simona, the host was amazing. So welcoming and responsive when we needed any assistance.

Now known as our Florentine Home
The most comfortable & well situated apartment in Florence. The balcony was an appreciated extra.
The patio was my favorite place to begin and end my day. The condo had everything we needed for our family to cook the meals we wanted, and Simone gave amazing recommendations for the times we did not want cook. While we often lost our way wandering Florence, it seemed our home was always just 5 minutes away! Such a great place, in a beautiful city.
Simona was a perfect host, assisting with our transportation to and from the train station. Also with answering questions we had. This apartment was in the best location, it was very clean. I would definitely come back. Thank you Simona!
We loved our stay at this property. In spite of a record setting heat wave, our stay here was cool, comfortable, and quiet in central Florence. Everything you want to see in Florence is a short walk away as well as a market, and several restaurants, and bars. Simona was very helpful and made check-in and checkout very easy (she even arraigned our departure taxi). We can’t wait to return Florence and will certainly want to stay here again.

Beautiful apartment, terrific location!
Gorgeous and comfortable apartment for 2 adults and 2 teens. The location on a quiet street just minutes from Santa Croce was perfect for exploring Florence. Air conditioning worked very well during a hot July stay. Simona's recommendations for restaurants etc. were excellent and much appreciated, as was her arranging a taxi for us on our departure. I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment or to book this again for our family.
Accurate description with a well stocked kitchen. Basic amenities like salt, pepper, sugar, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The host even left us a package of pastries. It was a little tight for 5 adults with only 1 bathroom but we made it work for the few days we were there.
The apartment in Florance is all that it advertises. It is well maintained and very comfortable. Netflix is available and the kitchen has everything one would need for your stay. The apartment is within minutes walk to every attraction and restaurant you would want to visit. The beds are very comfortable. The rooms are spacious, considering Itailian apartments and the outdoor area is terrific when your day is done and you're sipping wine and discussing what a great day you had. Simona was terrific to work with and full of great suggestions and recommendations. Thanks for everything Simona we loved your place and your wonderful cityBarry & Michele

Beautifully crafted, open, light and beautifully furnished.
Truly a spectacular water view, and the water is right in front of the house!! The house is architecturally, uniquely designed and one of a kind. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could want. Comfortable furniture and lots of light for reading which you don't always find! We came for a getaway and really feel like we've been on a relaxing retreat. We definitely will return!
Our stay at this apartment in the core of Florence was nothing short of amazing. The location was perfect, putting us within walking distance of all the wonderful places Florence has to offer.
The apartment itself was beautifully furnished and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was well-equipped, the bedrooms were cozy, and the living area was a great place for our family to unwind after a day of exploring.
We truly enjoyed our time here and felt like we were living in the heart of Florence’s rich history and culture. We highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a memorable stay in this beautiful city!

Lovely Apartment in the Middle of Florence
Lovely spacious apartment. Family of four including two teenage sons fit comfortably. Apartment was stocked with everything that was needed in the kitchen and bathroom and the whole space was super clean. Location was walking distance to all museums and attractions. Simona was an excellent host and met us upon arrival and arranged convenient departure even when we changed our plans.
Simona's apartment is in a wonderful location close to Signoria, the Uffizi, Accademia, Ponte Vecchio, and other locations in the central historic area. You are also right next to Santa Croce and a stone's throw away from the Santo Spirito across the Arno. The apartment is very clean and comfortable with a wonderful terrace to enjoy coffee in the morning or an evening discussion of the days events. The apartment is close to everything but also tucked away from busier streets. We had a great time on this return trip to Florence.
