PICCOLO IRIS FIRENZE, Florence

The apartment places you 11 minutes from Santa Maria Novella station and 17 minutes from Palazzo Vecchio on foot. Strozzi Palace and Pitti Palace are both under 1 km away, making the historic core easily reachable without transport. Florence Airport is 9 km from the property. The immediate neighbourhood offers a wide selection of bars, restaurants, and gelato shops, and the walk to the main attractions is less than 15 minutes for most visitors. The location is quiet enough to avoid the typical bustle of the historical centre while still being central.

The apartment comprises 1 living room, 2 separate bedrooms, and 1 bathroom with a walk-in shower and bidet. The living room contains a double sofa bed (with linen provided on request), so the total capacity is up to 4 adults. Bedrooms are comfortable and equipped with shutters to block out morning light. The apartment has tiled floors and soundproofing for a quiet environment, plus air conditioning, heating, and allergy-free features. The windows face the street but with shutters and soundproof walls the interior remains quiet even with windows closed. The third-floor walk-up (six flights of stairs) means the property is best suited to travellers without heavy mobility constraints. Extra storage space is available for suitcases, and the apartment is clean and well-equipped with a home-like feel.

Leisure options beyond city exploration are limited on site. A golf course is accessible less than 3 km from the apartment, but requires an additional fee. The main leisure activity is the historic city itself, with all major sights reachable on foot. The apartment's central location makes it easy to access Florence's art, architecture, and cultural attractions, while the quiet neighbourhood provides a calm base for relaxing after a day of sightseeing.

The apartment offers free WiFi throughout, air conditioning, heating, and a washing machine - a useful bonus for longer stays. The kitchen is equipped with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, kettle, and all cookware. There is a flat-screen TV with cable channels, and the property has ironing facilities and a tea/coffee maker. Safety features include CCTV outside, smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, and key access. The host offers express check-in/out and private check-in/out, and is very responsive to messages. Tourist tax is payable in cash on arrival; cleaning is a one-off cost included in the booking price. Luggage storage is not guaranteed on site before check-in or after check-out, but the host regularly provides addresses for nearby paid lockers. Parking is not available at the property; guests are directed to a motorway lot (7€/day) or paid garages nearby.
