About this property

Romantic Apartment in the Hearth of Florence

  • Located in the lively Sant’Ambrogio district, just steps away from the Duomo and Santa Croce, this apartment features a classic Florentine style with exposed beams, parquet flooring, rooftop views, and two charming fireplaces. It includes two bedrooms, a kitchen, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning. The apartment accommodates up to four people and offers an additional cot for children. As is common with historic buildings, there is no elevator—the apartment is on the fourth and top floor—but upon arrival, you will be welcomed by a unique, intimate, and romantic atmosphere that will help make your vacation unforgettable.
    The apartment consists of a spacious living area with a kitchen, a large bedroom with a double bed and wardrobe, a delightful smaller bedroom with a small double bed (140 x 190 cm), and a bathroom with a large shower and bidet. Every room has a window overlooking the rooftops. The layout, with the bedrooms separated from the living area, ensures complete privacy for guests.
    It is perfect for a couple seeking a romantic getaway in Florence, two couples of friends, or families with young children. A child's cot (with linens) and a high chair are available at no extra cost.
    Fully equipped with every comfort, it is suitable for both short stays and longer periods in Florence. Amenities include bed linens and towels, kitchenware, a fridge-freezer, oven, stovetop, microwave, toaster, kettle, dishwasher, hairdryer, washing machine, an outdoor clothesline, and an iron with an ironing board. Fast Wi-Fi is available throughout the apartment, and there is heating and air conditioning in every room. A small library with travel guides and art history books is also available for guests. Board games are available, as well as a piano and a Hi-Fi system for music lovers.

    THE NEIGHBORHOOD
    The apartment is located in the lively Sant'Ambrogio district, in the heart of Florence's historic center, just steps away from the Duomo and the magnificent Basilica of Santa Croce and its square. It is an excellent starting point for walking to all the city's main sites: the Accademia, the Uffizi Gallery, Palazzo Vecchio, Santa Maria Novella, San Marco, San Lorenzo, and the Ponte Vecchio.

    CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT
    Generally, check-in is from 3:00 PM on the day of arrival, and the apartment must be vacated by 11:00 AM on the day of departure.
    However, we will do our best to accommodate your travel schedule; if there are no other guests checking in on your departure day, you are welcome to arrive or leave at whatever time suits you best.
    IMPORTANT: Please let us know your arrival time as soon as possible (by calling or sending a message when you are close to Florence) so we can arrange to hand over the keys.

    HOW TO REACH THE APARTMENT
    Via Fiesolana is just a 20-minute walk from the main Santa Maria Novella train station (or 10 minutes by taxi or public transport). From Florence Airport, the best way to reach us is by taxi (flat rate of €30) or via the shuttle bus (the "Volain" bus), which runs every 30 minutes and takes you to the main station. From there, you can take bus number 14 or 23 and get off at the "Colonna 1" stop. If you land at Pisa Airport, you will need to get to the Santa Maria Novella station by train or coach, and then take a taxi, a bus, or walk to the apartment. IF ARRIVING BY CAR
    Only residents are permitted to park in the historic center—the so-called ZTL (Limited Traffic Zone). If you arrive by car to unload your luggage, please use the paid garage located just a short walk from the apartment: Garage Italia (Via Fiesolana 19; rates: €7/hour, €35/day).


    RECOMMENDATIONS
    The apartment is furnished using materials from the finest Tuscan traditions: wood, Carrara marble, and Rapolano stone. These are high-quality materials that require special care and attention from our guests.

    SPECIAL REQUESTS
    Please water the small plants on the kitchen windowsill.

Wonderful place to stay, so close to the Duomo and really close to lots of places we wanted to visit. As 2 female travelers, the neighborhood felt really safe and we loved our stay. Just a note, it is 5 flights of stairs, and by the end of the week it did get easier! The hosts were wonderful to deal with and we enjoyed our stay.

Very comfy place. The bed was very comfy too. It was clean and had everything we needed. the hot water was consistant and the pressure in the shower was great. The communication with the hosts was good through WhatsApp. I've never used whatsapp before and it was very easy. The only thing that took us by surprise was the fact that this place is one the 5th floor with no elevator and our luggage was heavy (We were in Italy for two weeks and packed way too much). The place has a clothes washer with soap supplied. they have a clothes line to dry the clothes outside which made them smell so clean and fresh. I would rent this place again but be aware of the stairs.

The apartment is so special and whimsical and has absolutely everything and more that you might need, for example the rolling grocery cart. Location is ideal, we walked to the train station and everything else. Claudia is extremely available and even helped me secure a taxi pickup on our last day. The beds are extremely comfortable, the washing machine was so nice. Just a perfect stay!!

Great Apartment

The apartment was perfect for our family. It was very spacious and had everything we needed. We were able to cook dinner the last night of our stay which we enjoyed very much. It is perfectly located out of the very touristy area, but within a short walk to everything you would want to see and do. Would highly recommend.

The 2 bedroom apartment was perfect and clean. The kitchen and sitting rooms were very comfortable and had everything we could have needed. Within walking distance to the Duomo and so many historic sites. The 5th floor walk up to as also an experience, but would definitely stay there again!

My friend and I absolutely loved our stay here. The apartment is a few flights up, but it’s completely worth it for the beautiful city views and peaceful atmosphere. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the hosts went above and beyond — they even helped us carry our luggage up on check-in day! Everything was spotless, and the decor was a charming blend of antique and modern touches that felt very “Florence.” The hosts were wonderfully communicative and provided excellent local recommendations for restaurants and markets. Honestly, the only thing that could have made it better would be staying longer. Highly recommend!

Great, cozy apartment in the city center

Great and unique apartment in the center of the city. Close to everything, all major shopping and dining sites. It is on the top floor without elevator but it didn’t bother us at all. The apartment itself is beautifully and tastefully decorated and has everything you need and even more. We enjoyed our stay and hope to be back one day.

Beautiful stay in Florence

This was a lovely property! Like the listing says, it is up 5 flights of stairs, but it honestly wasn’t too bad for our group (26 y/o females). The location was perfect for exploring Florence and the guide book provided by the host was a great touch. Be sure to look at the photos as the shower is only separated from the main room by a see-through stained glass window. Special shoutout to Claudia for meeting us at check-in and allowing us to leave our bags early! Our only gripe was that the shower was not very clean, but there were cleaning supplies provided and I assume it was due to our early arrival. Overall, we would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Perfect stay for two!

What a lovely little apartment! We stayed for three weeks while celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. Everything is an easily accessible walk - whether it’s to and from the apartment neighbourhood or across the river. We walked everywhere, and we are both in our sixties. There are 77 steps up, so good mobility is a must. We factored that in to our exercise plan! Trust me, you WILL get your steps in! The apartment has an equipped kitchen, so we shopped a lot at Conad’s grocery store - a quick little walk down the street. We thought the price for food was very reasonable. Thank you Claudia & Daniele! ♥️

Florence

My family and I stayed in this house and enjoyed our stay. The bathroom was good but one of the shower walls makes it so others can see inside. Beds were all comfortable. For the folks who may have overlooked the notice of this home being on the top floor, it is. This is equivalent to a 5th floor so not recommended for those who have limited mobility, elderly or just heavy luggages. The lights in the building are turned on automatically and from personal experience the sensors we not the best at capturing our movement to remain on so this meant a bit of a hazard when going up or downs the stairs. The home is close to major attractions
