About this apartment rental

Located in the lively Sant’Ambrogio district, just steps away from the Duomo and Santa Croce, this apartment features a classic Florentine style with exposed beams, parquet flooring, rooftop views, and two charming fireplaces. It includes two bedrooms, a kitchen, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning. The apartment accommodates up to four people and offers an additional cot for children. As is common with historic buildings, there is no elevator—the apartment is on the fourth and top floor—but upon arrival, you will be welcomed by a unique, intimate, and romantic atmosphere that will help make your vacation unforgettable.
The apartment consists of a spacious living area with a kitchen, a large bedroom with a double bed and wardrobe, a delightful smaller bedroom with a small double bed (140 x 190 cm), and a bathroom with a large shower and bidet. Every room has a window overlooking the rooftops. The layout, with the bedrooms separated from the living area, ensures complete privacy for guests.
It is perfect for a couple seeking a romantic getaway in Florence, two couples of friends, or families with young children. A child's cot (with linens) and a high chair are available at no extra cost.
Fully equipped with every comfort, it is suitable for both short stays and longer periods in Florence. Amenities include bed linens and towels, kitchenware, a fridge-freezer, oven, stovetop, microwave, toaster, kettle, dishwasher, hairdryer, washing machine, an outdoor clothesline, and an iron with an ironing board. Fast Wi-Fi is available throughout the apartment, and there is heating and air conditioning in every room. A small library with travel guides and art history books is also available for guests. Board games are available, as well as a piano and a Hi-Fi system for music lovers.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
The apartment is located in the lively Sant'Ambrogio district, in the heart of Florence's historic center, just steps away from the Duomo and the magnificent Basilica of Santa Croce and its square. It is an excellent starting point for walking to all the city's main sites: the Accademia, the Uffizi Gallery, Palazzo Vecchio, Santa Maria Novella, San Marco, San Lorenzo, and the Ponte Vecchio.

CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT
Generally, check-in is from 3:00 PM on the day of arrival, and the apartment must be vacated by 11:00 AM on the day of departure.
However, we will do our best to accommodate your travel schedule; if there are no other guests checking in on your departure day, you are welcome to arrive or leave at whatever time suits you best.
IMPORTANT: Please let us know your arrival time as soon as possible (by calling or sending a message when you are close to Florence) so we can arrange to hand over the keys.

HOW TO REACH THE APARTMENT
Via Fiesolana is just a 20-minute walk from the main Santa Maria Novella train station (or 10 minutes by taxi or public transport). From Florence Airport, the best way to reach us is by taxi (flat rate of €30) or via the shuttle bus (the "Volain" bus), which runs every 30 minutes and takes you to the main station. From there, you can take bus number 14 or 23 and get off at the "Colonna 1" stop. If you land at Pisa Airport, you will need to get to the Santa Maria Novella station by train or coach, and then take a taxi, a bus, or walk to the apartment. IF ARRIVING BY CAR
Only residents are permitted to park in the historic center—the so-called ZTL (Limited Traffic Zone). If you arrive by car to unload your luggage, please use the paid garage located just a short walk from the apartment: Garage Italia (Via Fiesolana 19; rates: €7/hour, €35/day).


RECOMMENDATIONS
The apartment is furnished using materials from the finest Tuscan traditions: wood, Carrara marble, and Rapolano stone. These are high-quality materials that require special care and attention from our guests.

SPECIAL REQUESTS
Please water the small plants on the kitchen windowsill.

This wonderful property was exactly as shown in the photos, a perfect position with a beautiful restaraunt just around the corner and everything is easy walking distance. Great communication and smooth check in. Thanks Claudia.

The property was as listed. It just needed a dish cloth and dish towel to dry dishes. Otherwise it was a lovely, centrally located property.

Very comfy place. The bed was very comfy too. It was clean and had everything we needed. the hot water was consistant and the pressure in the shower was great. The communication with the hosts was good through WhatsApp. I've never used whatsapp before and it was very easy. The only thing that took us by surprise was the fact that this place is one the 5th floor with no elevator and our luggage was heavy (We were in Italy for two weeks and packed way too much). The place has a clothes washer with soap supplied. they have a clothes line to dry the clothes outside which made them smell so clean and fresh. I would rent this place again but be aware of the stairs.

The apt is beautiful and full of light and comfortable spaces. The kitchen is well prepared for cooking needs, there's a dishwasher and a washing machine and a full sized fridge. There's a piano! The bathroom is a fun space and the water pressure is great with plenty of hot water. The beds are comfortable, and quite honestly the sounds from the street below are negligible. There was construction happening across the road and we heard nothing. Oh and there's quite a lot of closet space so you can unpack and really settle in. There's no lift but we laughed and just ate extra pasta and maritozzo! Lots of outlets for charging phones and Kindles, etc. This apt is in a great location. Seriously within easy walking distance of everything you want to see and do in Florence. Great restaurants and shopping around every corner. Daniele met us when we arrived and he walked us through apt details and gave us tips for the city and sent us to a wonderful restaurant for our first dinner in Florence. Communicating prior to our arrival and then during the week we were in Florence was easy and they were so responsive. The apt is a gorgeous dream and we would stay here again and again. Grazie mille!
