DIMORA PIERI, Florence

Dimora Pieri lies 400 m from Pitti Palace and 1 km from the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, placing most sights within a 15-minute walk. Santa Maria Novella station is a 20-minute walk or a short bus ride (line 11, stop Campuccio). The Oltrarno neighbourhood offers a more authentic, less touristy feel, with local cafes, a supermarket, and multiple restaurants just steps away. Airport connections are easy via shuttle or the nearby bus network. Those arriving by car can enter the ZTL for unloading, then park at Garage Centrale Gozzoli (€18/day) or a closer garage (€30/28h). The flat, walkable streets make sightseeing convenient without a car.

All apartments feature a private bathroom with free toiletries, hairdryer and bidet, plus a kitchen with stovetop, fridge, kettle, and cookware. Air conditioning is controllable remotely (min. 16-18°C) and works reliably. Bedding can be configured as twin or double. The 1-bedroom apartments are suitable for couples, while the 3-bedroom apartment offers two bathrooms, a dishwasher, and generous space for groups. Some units include a small balcony (accessed via corridor) or a larger terrace. Road-facing apartments can carry some street noise; the quieter ones (e.g., Davanzati, Ricasoli) face an inner courtyard. Kitchens are well-equipped for cooking, and cots are available on request. The property occupies 3 floors served by a lift; the Medici apartment is the only wheelchair-accessible unit, featuring a disabled toilet and a building platform for entrance access.

Dimora Pieri does not serve breakfast or have a restaurant, so guests rely on the well-equipped kitchen for meals. The neighbourhood offers many dining options: Osteria Santo Spirito, Trattoria da Ginone, and Tandoori are within a 5-minute walk, alongside a bakery, a supermarket, and a cafe on the corner that serves a cheap breakfast. The surrounding streets also feature a mix of pizzerias, wine bars, and delis. For those who prefer to cook, the kitchen includes a stovetop, oven, microwave, and dishwasher (in larger units). The nearby Sunday market offers fresh produce and local specialities.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the building. A lift provides access to all floors, and luggage storage is available at no cost before check-in or after check-out, giving flexibility for late departures. The on-site manager (Oana) is reachable in person or by message and can help with ZTL registration, late check-in, taxi orders, and local recommendations. A safety deposit box is available, and the building has CCTV and key access. Paid services include dry cleaning, laundry (off-site but a 20-metre walk), bicycle rental, shuttle transport, and babysitting. No pets are allowed, and the property is entirely non-smoking.
