About this apartment rental

We are renovating the building with scaffolding only inside the courtyard until approx. May 2025.

The works take place from Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm and sometime on Saturday morning.

The apartment 'Flora' is situated in Piazza del Duomo in the heart of Florence’s historical centre, on the 4th level ( no lift - 87 steps ) of a prestigious XVI century palace that once belonged to the Ghiberti family, one of Florence’s most important historical families, with easy steps well worth the journey.

From October 25 2009, Piazza del Duomo is a pedestrian area with all the advantages that an area like that can offer

Spending time in my apartment is to be accompanied by the shadow of the magnificent dome of Brunelleschi, the grandeur of Giotto’s belltower and the splendour of Vasari’s frescos, in an unforgettable dream that Florence will dream with you and bring you great joy and an even greater desire to return.
Flora directly faces the Duomo, giving you the sensation that you could reach out and touch its magnificent green and white marble facade.

The apartment has been completely restored in Florentine style, but with all modern comforts. Flora is a charming and elegant apartment comprising: a living/dining room with a comfortable sofa, a modern and fully-equipped kitchenette, 1 bedroom with a double bed (140x200), 1 bedroom with 2 single beds ( 85x200) that can be transformed into a double bed. 1 modern bathroom with shower, complete the description of the apartment. The apartment also boasts a splendid skylight with electronic controls that offers you a bird’s eye view of the famous Brunelleschi dome.
All modern comforts are provided: air conditioning, LCD TV,Dvd, satellite TV, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave oven, safe, WiFi and cable internet dsl, security door and intercom.

Is this the best apartment in the world? It would be close to the world's best!Lovely apartment, amazing location, world beating views, funny and gracious hostWe have stayed at Luca's lovely place several times over the years. It cannot be beaten.Florence is at its very best in the evenings, when the crowds ease and the charm goes up yet another notch. And there you are, in the very heart of it all

This was by far one of the best places we stayed in Italy! The location is perfect. As close as you can get to the Duomo and the main part of the city. Very spacious and clean house. Luca was very kind and responsive with communication. Would highly recommend!

We rented this apartment because it had a washer/dryer. We needed it because we were on a two week trip. When I asked where it was, he showed me but preceded to say that it was broken. This should have been communicated to me before we arrived. We would have packed differently. He communicated about the fees we owed but not what we needed to know. We asked for a partial refund but he said he didn’t have the power to do that.
