VERDELUNA HOME, Florence

The apartment sits in a quiet, central street within a 5-10 minute walk of the Duomo, Uffizi Gallery, and Ponte Vecchio. Florence Airport is 10 km away; once parked, virtually all historic sights are reachable on foot. The neighbourhood is lively with restaurants and bars within 0.5 km, including Gelateria Il Gallo Ghiottone and Osteria Armanda 1926. An ice-skating rink is nearby for leisure. The excellent walkability means a car is unnecessary for sightseeing after arrival.

The recently renovated home contains one bedroom with two beds, one bathroom with a shower and hairdryer, and a living area with a dining table. The kitchenette includes a refrigerator and electric kettle; wine/champagne is available for an extra charge. The unit opens onto a patio and a private terrace - pleasant in warmer weather. Despite being in the historic centre, the inner courtyard orientation keeps the space quiet. A wardrobe provides storage, and free toiletries are supplied.

Breakfast is served at the owner's café, located about a kilometre away opposite the Cathedral - giving a spectacular Duomo view. The menu features American, Italian, and vegetarian options, plus gluten-free and dairy-free choices. Guests also receive a free welcome drink and a 30% discount on other food. For self-catering, the apartment kitchenette allows simple meals, and several restaurants are within a three-minute walk. Takeaway breakfast is available for early departures. Dinner at l'Opera Caffè is recommended, with a discounted price for guests.

Wi-Fi is free throughout. Luggage storage is available at the owner's café before check-in and after check-out - particularly useful for early arrivals or late departures. Laundry and meeting/banquet facilities can be arranged for an additional fee. The building has security features (smoke alarms, key access). The terrace and kids' outdoor play equipment add convenience for families. Express check-in/out is available, and the host offers a helpful welcome with local recommendations.
