CASA RAFFAELLO CAREGGI, Florence

The apartment sits in a relaxed residential area with a tram stop 3 minutes on foot (line T1). From Santa Maria Novella station, the tram reaches the apartment in 10 minutes, making car-free city exploration easy. Florence's historic centre is a 30-45 minute walk depending on pace, with several gelaterias along the route. A supermarket (Coop) is less than 2 minutes away, and a pharmacy and medical practice are on the same street. Key attractions such as San Marco Church and Ponte Vecchio are within walking distance or a short tram ride.

The apartment includes two bedrooms and a living room with a sofa bed, providing four beds in total. It is equipped with air conditioning and heating, a flat-screen TV, washing machine, ironing facilities, and a tea and coffee maker. The fully equipped kitchen contains a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and kitchenware. Free toiletries and ample towels are provided. Mosquito nets on the windows are a practical advantage during summer. The property is on a less busy street, contributing to a quiet atmosphere. While marketed as spacious, the apartment is most suitable for families or groups of up to six; the layout is designed for practical group stays rather than luxury.

Dining is self-catered in the apartment's full kitchen. A well-stocked Coop supermarket is within a 2-minute walk, and a bakery and pizzeria are also nearby. Within 500 metres, there are several cafes (Milleluci Cafe, Pasticceria Caldana, Caffe Fabbricotti) and restaurants including Trattoria Fratelli Briganti and Pizzeria il Poggetto. The apartment does not provide breakfast, but the convenient supermarket and nearby cafes make morning meals easy to organise. A bottle of Chianti is sometimes provided as a welcome gesture by the hosts.

The property offers free Wi-Fi in all areas. Private parking is available at a nearby location for €20 per day, but requires advance reservation - the parking garage and an electric vehicle charging station are part of the off-site parking options. Check-in and check-out are straightforward, with luggage storage possible before check-in to allow early exploration. The hosts are responsive and helpful. Safety features include fire extinguishers and smoke alarms. No pets are allowed, and smoking is prohibited throughout.
