Francesca - Romantic apt near Piazza della Signoria

In the area of Piazza della Signoria and Piazza Santa Croce. At the second and unique floor, in Via Vinegia n. 2, a small and very quiet road in a pedestrian area, this lovely and particular apartment has been completely restored and decorated with taste and care for any expectations you may have.
One the same floor we own and rent another unit, the Simona (ref 11170759)

The apartment is at a second floor (first floor in Italy), there is NO LIFT but only 14 steps up from the road.

High quality linens and towels, double pillows for each guests, duvets on the beds..

My sister and I take high pleasure to ensure our guests the best staying by taking care of you since your very first enquiry to your departure..

We own and manage personally both apartments so you'll always be checked-in by one of us and we'll be avaialble for you any time for any question, help or need you may have..

Both apartments (the Francesca and the Simona) belong to an ancient bulding dated back to the XV century and share a private entrance from the road, in front of the magnificent stonewall of the medieval S. Remigio Church, in one of the oldest and most famous area of Florence.

The apartments can be booked together and can accomodate up to 10 guests.
The location is so central that you can easily get back home any time of the day for a quick rest or a bite and go out again to visit this magnificent city.
With all kind of shops just around the corner (litterally!!) and Piazza della Signoria at 1 minute walk, these properties are really in the centre of the centre!
With some of the best restaurants, ice-cream, fresh pasta, street food an coffee bar just around the corner you'll be able to enjoy your staying with no efforts trying to find out where you can have the best ice-cream of Florence!!

The apartment has its own heating and a/c system
Beds will be arranged with the best quality linens and duvet.

Linens/towels changes are provided for rentals longer than 8 nights
Extra changes can be provided at an extra cost of 20 euro per guests (towels/10 euro sheets/10 euro) it needs to be requested in advance.

History and leisure: The entire historical centre of Florence has been declared World Heritage by the UNESCO and Via Vinegia is just in the middle of it! All the major sites are within walking distance: Piazza della Signoria and the Uffizi Gallery, Ponte vecchio, The Duomo, The magnificent church of Santa Croce: everything is just around the corner.
And if you like to try the very best food you have a choice of restaurants and, most of all, you are at 10 min. walking from one of the oldest and most famous market in Florence, The Sant'Ambrogio market where you can buy the most exquisite traditional food.. and as far as ice-cream is concerned, Vivoli (the most famous one) is at 3 min walking
Via de Neri, the road at 20 mt from Via Vinegia is full of all kind of shops: groceries, take away, chemistry, fruiters, ice-cream, bakeries, mini market, bars, laundry...
Anything you may need is just around the corner!

Fantastic Florence getaway

We spent three nights in the Francesca unit and it couldn’t have been more perfect! Great location, immaculate apartment and Simona was a very gracious and responsive host. More than enough room for us and our two teenage sons. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely apartment and fantastic location

The apartment was impeccably clean and perfectly suited for our family of 4. Bathrooms brand new and plenty of closet space. The location was ideal. Right near every major attraction. We would highly recommend this apartment to friends and family. Simona and Francesca were extremely helpful helping to make a restaurant reservation and taxi to the train station.

Simona and Francesca have the loveliest vacation home in Florence/Firenze

Book this Apartment, don't wait....This apartment is spotless, convenient to all the the Museums churches and sites. there are great sandwiches right around the corner and Simona gave us referrals for restaurants in the neighbor hood. She gave us instructions how everything works and I cannot say enough about this cozy apartment! Also the beds were very comfortable and clean.

A perfect stay in Florence

To celebrate our 55th anniversary with our daughter & husband. This property is an excellent location to everything you want to see and do in Florence. Our hostess Simona welcomed us and provided excellent information, tips and arranged a taxi back to the airport. The only thing to be aware of is the AC in. The bedrooms is not very strong. Small problem. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful apartment in the heart of Florence

We were very excited about this apartment based on the listing and were not disappointed. It is a beautiful flat which met the needs of our family of five. Beds were comfortable and temperature was cool on hot July summer days. The location could not be better as it is minutes walk from Piazza Della Signoria, Uffizi gallery and Ponte Vecchio. Both Francesca and Simona were very easy to communicate with and answered any question we had promptly. We would recommend this unit to anybody travelling to Florence.

beautiful experience all around

We stayed for one week at Simona’s apartment and it was great in every way. We most appreciated the thoughtful details that made the apartment feel like home. Simona communicated with us before our arrival and welcomed us warmly upon our arrival. The apartment is in an ideal location to easily walk to everything, yet it is situated in a quiet street which made it perfect. The apartment is very clean and comfortable, and includes everything one could possibly need. Simona checked on us during our stay and organized a taxi for us twice. Thank you, Simona, for a wonderful experience in Florence!

Look no further you are home

If you love Florence as my wife and I do having traveled to this amazing city often you will not find a better location for your stay than here. This comfortable, extremely well-kept and furnished, spotlessly maintained apartment is THE place you want to call your “home away from home.” Your host, Simona, is at once welcoming and responsive to any foreseeable need during your stay which always puts a traveler at ease - whether for a few nights or a few weeks. You simply won’t find a better spot to explore this amazing city. Located on a quiet narrow street, just a few steps up across from a small church, you will love the sense of peace and quiet after a day of navigating the sights and endless marvels of Florence. Enjoy your stay.

Lovely stay in Florence

Simona’s place in the historic district could not be more perfectly situated for a visit to Florence. Within minutes you can walk to ALL the major sights. The neighborhood is charming, clean, safe and quiet even though it is around the corner from a very busy street with great cafes, restaurants and shops that is bustling until late at night. The apartment itself is clean, bright and airy, simply but tastefully furnished with comfortable beds, good water pressure and a well stocked kitchen. Wi-Fi was consistently reliable, washing machine modern and easy to use. Simona was a very responsive host and waited for us for several hours when we had issues getting there due to a railway problem. No down side here, we had a very pleasant stay!

Superb in all aspects

Simona was excellent with communication before and during the stay. She gave detailed overview on check-in and in addition, she leaves lots of information including city maps and other details. The location was excellent, 4 minutes from Uffizi and 10 from the Duomo. There was plenty around the apartment but it’s located one street back so it was nice and quiet. We only heard the distant church bells. It was great having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms which was perfect for 4 adults. The kitchen had everything we needed and the unit has a clothes washing machine and a drying rack. She even provided Netflix and cable TV. I would definitely recommend this unit and it would be my first choice if I came back to Firenze!

Great Spot in Florence - Center of Town

We had a great stay in Florence. The apartment is in a perfect part of town - very close to everything. Short walk to the Duomo, to the museums, to Ponte Vecchio and Santa Croce. Restaurants everywhere nearby. Small apartment with two bedrooms - great for us as we were traveling with our two teenagers. AC works. Small kitchen - if you were cooking it would work just fine. WiFi worked well I did a couple of work calls from the apartment. Simona and her sister were easy to deal with. Area felt safe. They do have washing machine so we got some laundry done. Overall we would absolutely stay here again.

Family of four in Florence

I can't say enough wonderful things about this property and about Simona. The location was simply idyllic, with delicious food, coffee and gelato just steps/minutes away... and yet we were tucked away on a quiet little side street and were literally never bothered by noise. We felt safe and secure in our sweet apartment, which is super important to me as a Mama. We were a only 5 minute walk from the Uffizi, and even walking home from the Duomo... with kids... in a hundred-degree heat wave... in July, it felt like we were always close to home. Speaking of the heat wave, the apartment was cool, comfortable and a welcome reprieve when we needed rest. Simona is a treasure, and honestly my only concern about leaving this review is knowing that the more people learn about this jewel of a property, the harder it will likely be for me to rebook it for a future trip. Ha. Don't think twice - this is your place!!! ((Also - do me a favor, and go to Gelateria dei Neri at least once. It's been my favorite for 20+ years.))
