MY BOUTIQUE HOME IN FLORENCE, Florence

The property sits in the Palazzo Pitti quarter, a tranquil area just across the river from Florence's historic core. Walking times are short: the Uffizi Gallery is reachable in about 10 minutes, and Santa Maria Novella station is 1 km away (a 20-minute walk or a short taxi/bus ride). The surrounding streets host two noted restaurants, Lungarno 23 and Cafe Melloni, both within a 5-minute walk, and a supermarket is around the corner for self-catering supplies. The Boboli and Bardini gardens provide a quiet escape behind the apartment. Despite being moments from tourist sites, the street itself remains calm, making it a practical base for exploring the city on foot.

Accommodation ranges from compact studios to spacious one-bedroom apartments with terraces or balconies. Some units feature a split-level loft layout with a sleeping area upstairs, while larger apartments offer separate bedrooms and two bathrooms. Many apartments include a washing machine, dishwasher, and a dining area. The higher-floor apartments with river-facing terraces provide uninterrupted views of the Arno and Florence's skyline. All units have heated towel racks, ironing facilities, flat-screen TVs with Netflix compatibility, and comfortable seating areas. The studio apartment has no river view and faces via dei Bardi. The building has a lift, which makes access easier. The apartments are self-contained, with no daily housekeeping or room service, and are well suited for couples or small families (studios accommodate two people only).

Each apartment includes a kitchenette with an electric kettle, cookware, utensils, and a dining table. A supermarket is located around the corner for groceries. For eating out, two well-regarded restaurants - Lungarno 23 and Cafe Melloni - are within a 5-minute walk on the same street. The host also provides a booklet of personal recommendations for nearby restaurants, wine tours, and other dining options. There is no breakfast, bar, or room service available.

The property does not offer a spa, swimming pool, or gym. Leisure options are focused outdoors: the Boboli and Bardini gardens are a short walk behind the apartment, and the rooftop terraces and balconies provide a private space for relaxing with views of the Arno. Walking to the main attractions, such as Piazzale Michelangelo and the Uffizi Gallery, is the primary mode of exploration.

Free WiFi is available throughout. The building has a lift, key access for security, and fire extinguishers. The property provides an invoice for bookings. There is no parking on site; paid garages (Tintori and Pontevecchio) operate nearby. No airport shuttle is offered - taxis, buses, or a 30-minute walk connect from the airport. The host meets guests at check-in and provides a thorough briefing on the apartment and local recommendations, and remains reachable via WhatsApp. Towels and bed linen are provided; extras incur a fee. Accepted payment methods are American Express, Visa, Maestro, CartaSi, and MasterCard. Family-friendly amenities include cots on request. There is no business centre, concierge, or daily housekeeping.
