Hotel Details

Location

Ideally placed in central Florence - Palazzo Vecchio is a 1-minute walk, the Duomo a 5-minute walk, and Santa Maria Novella station a 7-minute walk.
The apartment is inside a secure, gated residential complex with a garden courtyard, providing a remarkably quiet setting despite the central location. The train station and airport tram stop are both within a short walk, making it easy to arrive and explore without a car. Florence Airport is 8 km away; there is no shuttle, but the tram connection is straightforward. The surrounding streets are full of restaurants and bars, and all major sights - the Accademia Gallery, Ponte Vecchio, and Piazza del Duomo - are easily reached on foot. Parking is free and on-site, and the property sits outside the ZTL, so no driving permit is needed.

Accommodation

A spacious one-bedroom apartment with a separate living room, fully equipped kitchen, balcony, and modern bathroom with a large shower.
The unit sleeps two guests (one double bed and one sofa bed) and features a separate living room, making it well suited for couples or small families. The air-conditioned space includes soundproofed walls, tiled floors, a washing machine, dryer, and a fully equipped kitchen with stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, and all cookware. The balcony overlooks the internal garden, adding a peaceful outdoor area. Rooms are generally described as quiet, clean, and well-maintained, though the bedroom can become warm on hot days if the air conditioning struggles. An elevator provides access, and the apartment is allergy-friendly.

Leisure

No pool or spa on site; the main leisure asset is the quiet, garden-filled courtyard and the balcony overlooking it.
The apartment building is set around a private, landscaped courtyard that provides a calm retreat after exploring the city. The balcony offers a place to relax and enjoy the garden atmosphere. All other leisure activities - gyms, cultural sites, parks - are available in the surrounding central Florence area.

Amenities

Free Wi-Fi, free private parking (reservation needed), lift, luggage storage, and pet-friendly on request.
Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. Free private parking is available in an on-site garage, but a reservation is essential - a rare and valuable asset in central Florence. The property has a lift, and accessible parking is also available. Daily housekeeping can be arranged for an extra charge. Luggage storage is offered, and the host is known for smooth and flexible check-in and check-out coordination. Pets are allowed with prior request and possible fees. Accepted payment methods include American Express, Visa, Maestro, CartaSi, and MasterCard.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Reserve the free on-site parking immediately when booking - it's private and in a garage, but spaces are limited and mandatory to book ahead.

  • 02

    Request a room with a balcony to enjoy the internal garden view; the balcony is particularly welcome during hot weather.

  • 03

    Plan to walk or use the nearby tram (a short walk from the station) to the airport - no airport shuttle is available.

  • 04

    Arrive early or depart late: the host can often accommodate early check-in and luggage storage, but confirm this flexibility when booking.
