San Miniato Apt - Luxury Apartments at 20 steps from Duomo; Elevator equipped.
About this condo rental
Located in Florence, this attractive condo for R 4,476 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. San Miniato -- Apt is an independent unit, second floor, 2 double bedrooms, 2 baths" in all bran The apartment is located in Via dei Servi, one of the most characteristic and suggestive streets of Florence, between Piazza Duomo and Piazza S.S. Annunziata, two of the most beautiful squares in Florence. It is located at the beginning of the street a few steps from the Cathedral, in the pedestrian area that surrounds the Duomo and the innermost historical core of the city. The main points of artistic interest are very close to Via dei Servi and can be reached on foot in a few minutes, as is the railway station. The apartment is on the second floor of the Casa dè Biffi; it has 2 double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and can accommodate up to 6 people. The surface is 84 square meters and the ceiling, 4 meters high, is in original wooden beams of the time. Four large windows overlook Via dei Servi, offering an impressive view of Brunelleschi's Dome. The furniture is classic and modern, many elements are authentic pieces of Italian and international design: such as the walnut furnishings of the Master Bedroom, a modern reinterpretation of the classic Tuscan style created by the famous Italian architect Michelucci. The walls are decorated with English prints and oil paintings. In particular, there are two large canvases depicting San Miniato, a small medieval town between Florence and Pisa, of which the family of the property originates: hence the name of the apartment. The second floor, which corresponds to the third in the American classification, is easily accessible by an elevator which is very useful both for people and for carrying suitcases. The Palazzo dates back to the Renaissance period and has been renovated in recent years, preserving the original elements of the ancient Florentine houses of the Renaissance. The Bargellini-Guarnieri Catalog describes the Palazzo as simple but provided with 'delicate frames' on the facade. It was built on older houses belonging to the Tedaldi family, and in the mid-16th century it belonged to the Florentine Biffi family, hence its name 'Casa dè Biffi'. Later the palace was owned by the Pagani family. On the second floor level the facade is decorated with a family crest, probably coming from the Pagani family. The San Miniato Apartment is available from March 2013. OWNER'S STORY I was born and raised in Tuscany where I lived and worked most of the time. Currently, after having lived with my husband for many years in this property, we live near Florence a few kilometers from the city. I have always wanted to own a house near the Duomo of Florence. In 1990 the opportunity arose to buy the apartments that make up our property, where I lived with my husband for many years until 2008. In 2012 we decided to offer others the opportunity to share, albeit for short periods. of time, the extraordinary experience of living in the monumental center of Florence a few steps from the Duomo. The exclusive position is immediately striking. Furthermore, the spaciousness of the spaces and rooms, and a renovation that is particularly faithful to the historical characteristics of the building, allow you to live in these environments with all the functionality and comforts of modern life together with the charm of ancient times that these places have preserved. . All the furnishings and decorations of both apartments are part of the personal family heritage, and offer our guests the opportunity to live in an authentic Italian home. NOTES CHECK IN.

This apartment is well situated, quiet, clean, well equipped, and spacious for 4 people. Eleonora is a thorough, thoughtful, responsive host. She answered our questions promptly and offered great suggestions. Highly recommend!

This immaculate, tastefully decorated, and very comfortable apartment was a delight to occupy during our four day stay in Florence. The owner, Eleonora, met us at the apartment to show us the ropes, and she was very patient and flexible with our arrival time. The apartment is steps from the Duomo, and provided easy walking access to all the glories of Florence. Eleonora was very accommodating, even to go so far as to arrange a very early morning taxi to drive us to the airport on the day of our departure. My only “heads up” is to be sure to bring your own shampoo and body wash. Otherwise, the kitchen was well equipped and had many basic ingredients needed for cooking. We could not have been happier with this gorgeous apartment!!!

Our host Eleanor was fabulous. The apartment was meticulously clean and organized. It included all amenities we needed, ample towels, and toiletries. Check in was fabulous, and the restaurants suggested were delish! Location was great, and walked to all attractions. Love Florence, and apartment’s location was spectacular, Duomo within meters. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Eleanora!

The property is wonderful. It was centrally located near the Duomo. It was great hearing the church bells ring on the hour. The property was close to great shopping and restaurants. It was well maintained. Couldn’t believe the building was approximately 500 years old. The owner was very nice and accommodating. She made sure we knew most everything about the property.
Just one hint: the lighting in the kitchen does not sufficient. We discovered that there was more light in the kitchen under the cabinets.
We would not hesitate to stay there again.

Lovely 2 bedroom apartment literally in the shadow of the Duomo. Home is well appointed, just steps to nearly all historic sights, and surrounded by delicious restaurants too.

We love this apartment. Eleanor is a great host and very helpful and easy to deal with. The location couldn’t be better, right next to the Duomo. It’s so fun to watch the activity on the street below from one of the many windows. It feels like you’re staying in a family home. Having an elevator is such a nice feature too after walking all day. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Florence now!

Beautiful and spacious apartment in a prime location by the Duomo. The elevator and A/C were much appreciated during our August visit. Hostess Eleonora was very helpful.

I stayed in this apartment for ten days while visiting Florence. The central location was very convenient and within easy walking distance to all the sites I visited. There were restaurants nearby and a gelateria within twenty feet of the front door! The elevator was great since my knees can't take walking a lot of stairs and made getting luggage up and down easy. Eleonora was a fantastic hostess with lots of good suggestions and she also booked my taxi for departure. The apartment itself was well-stocked and very comfortable. The AC was a lifesaver as temperature never went below 90 during the days of my stay. I would definitely rent this apartment again on my next visit to Florence!!

What a lovely surprise- we knew this apartment would be nice from the pictures but you never know until you actually walk through the door. The place was immaculate, and organized, beautifully appointed, the rooms are large, the kitchen well stocked and our hostess thought of everything we would need for our stay.
Not only did our hostess show us how to properly use the appliances, but she also had the instructions written down. The apartment is large and the bedrooms are about the same size- so there was no fighting over the "bigger" room. The location is fabulous, easy walking distance to most places. I really can't say enough good things about the apartment, location, and our fabulous hostess. Highly recommend.
If there is one drawback, the room adjacent to the street is loud at night. I put in earplugs and that solved everything. Just suggest bringing a pair for whoever sleeps in that room, but other than that it was perfect.

Eleonora maintains a superbly appointed home providing all the everyday amenities you could possibly need to live comfortably. You can feel the care of a hostess who treats her guests as family and cares they enjoy their stay. If we are so fortunate as to return to Florence we would definitely insure we stay here again. Perfectly located to all the sights and sounds of Florence, museums, restaurants & nightlife…perfect!

It was great location, facilities and prospects. The owner is kind and helps a lot. It is perfect because it has heating facilities, kitchen facilities, and elevators. I really want to come here again. Thank you, Mrs.Elenora.

Literally steps away from the Duomo, shopping, food and pretty much anything else you could want. The apartment itself is spacious, well maintained and quite charming. Property manager was there for any of our needs, including arranging a taxi for us the day we left.
Next time I’m in Florence, I’ll certainly see if I can arrange to stay here again. Made our trip easy and memorable. 5-stars all the way around.

Our family of 4+ had a great experience with the property owner and overall the flat was exactly how it is described. The location was perfect for us and although there was a bit of night noise heard in the bedroom at night , it wasn’t significant. Good gathering space with high ceilings in front room and we felt secure in the building. The apartment feels warm with an abundance of books, linens and kitchen items.The owner was gracious enough to give us a late checkout as well.Thank you and we would highly recommend both for price, location and overall efficiency.
