VILLINO AMELIA, Florence

Set in a quiet, safe residential area about 300 metres outside Florence's restricted traffic zone (ZTL), the property is well placed for car-free exploration and car-based day trips. It is 2 km from Pitti Palace and within a 25-minute walk of Piazza del Duomo and the Uffizi Gallery. The bus stop is 50 metres away, with line 37 reaching the train station in about 25 minutes. Piazzale Michelangelo is a 10-minute drive. Several restaurants and a pastry shop are within a 500-metre walk, making it easy to plan meals without always heading into the centre. The apartment's location is also practical for drivers: you can park on the street for free (subject to availability) or use paid daytime parking in the surrounding streets.

Each apartment features a private entrance, air conditioning, a separate living room, a bedroom or two, and a bathroom with shower and bidet. The kitchen is well equipped with a stovetop, oven, refrigerator, kettle, and all cookware. The living area includes a sofa bed (convertible to a bed) and a TV. A private terrace with garden furniture provides an outdoor space for relaxing or al fresco meals. The apartments are spacious, clean, and decorated in a classic Italian style.

A shared washing machine is available for all guests in a room adjacent to the garden.

Dining is self-catering: the kitchenette includes a stovetop, oven, refrigerator, kettle, microwave, coffee machine, toaster, and all cookware.
