Hotel Details

Location

Set in the heart of Florence, this property is a short walk from the Duomo, Uffizi, and Santa Croce.
Piazza della Signoria is 9 minutes on foot, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and the Uffizi and Accademia Galleries are within 1 km, and Piazzale Michelangelo is 2 km away. Florence Airport is 11 km distant. The neighbourhood sits just outside the busiest tourist core on a quiet street, offering excellent walkability to all main landmarks (10-15 minutes from most) while also providing a peaceful retreat. Florence's central station is 25 minutes on foot, and a tram from Villa Costanza (parking) stops nearby. The quiet courtyard and side-street rooms further enhance the sense of calm.

Accommodation

Compact, clean, and recently renovated rooms with air conditioning and quiet settings.
Choose between double rooms (1 double bed) or a one-bedroom apartment (1 living room with sofa bed, 1 separate bedroom, 1 bathroom, 2 beds).

The rooms are clean and newly renovated, with comfortable beds and modern showers. For those needing more space, the apartment includes a washing machine, electric kettle, and parquet floors. Room size is sufficient for a couple's short stay; the separate apartment offers more room for longer stays.
