Hotel Details

Location

Situated in the historic heart of Florence, this property is a 5-6 minute walk from Santa Maria Novella train station and a 10-minute walk from the Cathedral and Accademia Gallery.
The apartment is located within a quiet inner courtyard, providing a surprisingly peaceful retreat without feeling like you are in the middle of the city. It lies just outside the ZTL traffic zone, allowing easy vehicle access, while all major sights including Ponte Vecchio and Palazzo Vecchio are within a short walk. The well-lit, secure neighbourhood offers a safe environment for evening strolls. Free on-site parking is a significant advantage in this central area, and public transport (bus and tram) is available a few steps away on the main road.

Accommodation

A spacious one-bedroom apartment with a living room, separate bedroom, and a private terrace overlooking a shared garden.
The apartment features one bedroom with two beds (a double bed and a sofa bed in the living area), making it well-suited for up to 4 people or a small family. The large bathroom includes a walk-in shower, free toiletries, and a hairdryer. The living area is equipped with a flat-screen TV, soundproofed walls, air conditioning, and heating for year-round comfort. The fully equipped kitchenette includes a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, electric kettle, and tea/coffee maker, ideal for preparing meals. Mosquitoes can be present on the terrace during warmer months, so planning accordingly is recommended. The interior is modern, clean, and well-maintained, with a calm atmosphere that feels removed from the city bustle.

Facilities and Services

Free on-site private parking (reservation required), free Wi-Fi throughout, and a lift provide a convenient base for exploring Florence.
Parking is a standout feature: a secure private garage and accessible parking are available free of charge, though a reservation is essential due to limited spaces (reported at €30 per night for the garage). Wi-Fi is free in all areas, and the property is non-smoking with designated smoking areas. Other services include daily housekeeping for an additional fee, heating, and air conditioning. Pets are allowed on request with possible extra charges. The lift provides easy access to the apartment, and the invoice provided at check-in supports business travellers. Accepted payment methods include Visa, Maestro, CartaSi, and MasterCard.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Reserve the free on-site parking in advance, as spaces are limited and the property is within walking distance of Florence's ZTL zone.

  • 02

    Request early check-in or late check-out during booking, as these are not guaranteed and depend on availability.

  • 03

    Bring insect repellent for the garden and terrace, especially during warmer months, to enjoy the outdoor space comfortably.
