CASA MICHELAZZI APARTMENT CAREGGI / DALMAZIA, Florence

Set in a quiet residential neighbourhood close to Careggi Hospital, the apartment offers a more local experience away from the tourist crowds. The tramvia (line T1) at Careggi station takes roughly 15 minutes to reach Santa Maria Novella in the historic core. Florence's main train station (Santa Maria Novella) is also accessible via the same tram line. For those driving, free private parking is available in a nearby garage (reservation essential). A supermarket is directly across the street, and numerous restaurants, pizzerias and cafés are within 500 metres. The apartment's position makes it practical for hospital visits (Meyer and Careggi) as well as city exploration.

The apartment features a bright, modern interior with parquet floors and thoughtful decor. The two bedrooms are spacious and quiet, with excellent soundproofing and comfortable beds. The kitchen is fully equipped with a stovetop, oven, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator and an electric kettle, plus a dining area with table and chairs. A flat-screen TV with streaming services (including Netflix) is provided. The private terrace adds outdoor space for relaxing. The bathroom includes a shower, and bathrobes are provided. The entire apartment is air-conditioned and heated. Note that there is no separate living room - the kitchen doubles as the main living/eating area, with a sofa for two. The apartment is cleaned to a very high standard and feels like new.

Guests who prefer to cook will find everything needed: oven, hob, dishwasher, microwave, kettle, and basic cooking essentials (oil, salt, sugar) are often provided as a welcome gesture. The minimarket across the street stocks groceries, drinks and snacks, making self-catering easy. For eating out, options within 300-500 metres include Trattoria Fiorenza (traditional Italian), Pizza Taxi (takeaway and delivery), Caffè le Gore (café/bar) and Pane e cioccolata (bakery). Several other pizzerias and bistros are nearby. The tram ride to the city centre opens up the full range of Florence's restaurant scene. A welcome bottle of wine and snacks are typically left for guests upon arrival.

For leisure, the terrace offers a private spot for morning coffee or evening drinks. The Careggi district itself is calm and residential, ideal for a relaxing stay away from the bustle. The nearby tram gives quick access to Florence's museums, galleries and historic sites. Gelateria de' Medici, known for high-quality gelato, is located along the tram route. The apartment is also well-positioned for visiting the Careggi and Meyer hospitals.

Practical features include free Wi-Fi throughout the apartment, a flat-screen TV with streaming services, and a parking garage 5 minutes away on foot (free, off-site, reservation mandatory).
