Hotel Details

Location

In the historic heart of Florence, 3 minutes from the Duomo and a short walk from Piazza della Signoria and Uffizi Gallery.
The apartment sits on a quiet street within metres of Florence's main landmarks: the Duomo (3 min), Santa Croce (5 min), Piazza della Signoria (8 min), and the Uffizi Gallery (less than 1 km). Florence's central train station is a 20-minute walk, and the airport is 9 km away. A Conad supermarket is around the corner for supplies, and numerous restaurants, cafés, and gelaterias are within a 2-minute walk. Despite the central position, the apartment itself is notably quiet. All major tourist sites are easily covered on foot, making car use unnecessary.

Accommodation

A spacious, top-floor one-bedroom apartment with a separate living room, modern kitchen, and city views.
This apartment has a separate bedroom with a very comfortable double bed, a living room with a sofa, and one bathroom with a shower, bidet, and free toiletries. The fully equipped kitchen includes an oven, stovetop, refrigerator, coffee machine, and all cookware. Additional amenities include a washing machine, ironing facilities, air conditioning, and a TV with cable channels. The apartment is furnished in a warm Italian style, clean and well-decorated. Both rooms have air conditioning and heating. The living room offers enough space to spread out, even for families with a baby. The apartment is accessed via approximately 70-77 steps, which is part of the experience of staying in a historic Florentine building.

Dining

No on-site dining, but the fully equipped kitchen and abundance of nearby restaurants make eating in or out equally easy.
The kitchen is stocked with essential cookware, a coffee machine, and basic pantry items such as salt, sugar, and coffee. A supermarket is located just around the corner for groceries. For dining out, there are more than a dozen restaurants, trattorias, pizzerias, and cafés within a 2-minute walk, including Natalino, Trattoria San Pierino, and Ristorante Pizzeria I Ghibellini. The host provides personal recommendations for local eateries.

Wellness and Leisure

Leisure is centred on exploring Florence, with a nearby ice-skating rink for seasonal activity.
The apartment itself does not include a pool, gym, or spa. An ice-skating rink is located nearby for seasonal recreational use. The property's prime location provides easy access to all of Florence's cultural and historic attractions.
