About this property

PEACEFUL OASIS IN THE HEART OF FLORENCE

  • The "palazzo" was built around 1200.The apartment has been completely renovated but it has kept its old flavour and character. It has one living room full of light with armchairs, dining table ,a furnished kitchen with fridge, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, Nespresso, french press and italian coffee machine. There are 2 bedrooms with big beds and 2 complete bathrooms (one is attached to the bedroom and the other one just in front of the second bedroom) , a small balcony, AC in each room, central heating, free wi fi, . It's located on the 2nd floor but there is a lift (which is very unusual in Florence).The decoration is a mix of antique, ethnic and modern pieces; art books.The floor and the ceilings are made of wood with delicate pastel colors. Linens and towels are furnished. I also provide basic amenities (coffee, teas, sugar, sicilian olive oil house made etc...)

    You are right in the heart of Santa croce neighbourhood, 5 minutes walk from the main sightseeings. There is a grocery store close by and a street full of coffee shops and nice restaurants.

    It is also very quiet . Good nights sleep is secured!

Our stay in Florence was absolutely wonderful. The hosts were gracious and allowed us to drop our luggage earlier than check-in, which was much appreciated. The location was great and most importantly, the bedrooms were super quiet and dark. We’d highly recommend this VRBO!

Fantastic location to many of the hot spots in the city. Great AC. Could use some power plug duplicators (or bring your own) in the bedrooms, but not a big deal. Lovely apartment that was just as fun to enjoy takeaway dinner in as it was to launch an adventure from. Elevator was a life saver with our luggage! Would happily stay here again.

Wonderful and welcoming stay! The location was perfect - close to the action but still quiet and off of the main roads. The check in process was seamless, and Marie was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. The apartment was lovely, well equipped, and provided all that we needed. Marie also provided us with wonderful recommendations and guidance. Definitely would stay here again if we are lucky enough to make it back to Florence!

The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and charming. Someone in our party said it possessed an authentic Italian vibe. Each and every room was well appointed with everything one needs in that respective room... the kitchen! the bathrooms! the living room! the bedrooms! And the beds were very comfortable. Our host Marie was very responsive and provided excellent and comprehensive instructions, especially with the building's character and associated nuances. And as an upper floor unit, it was very quiet considering its location in the bustling city. Great stay... thanks!

The apartment was as described in VRBO - two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a very spacious living room / kitchen area. Everything was in close walking distance - historical sites, shops and restaurants. Arrival and departure was smooth. Marie gave us all of the necessary details to go right into the apartment with no waiting time and it was just as easy to check out.

Very assessable to city center historic sites. walk to Florence

Everything very close by, we used the hop on hop off bus to get around and to go up to the beautiful city of Fiesole and had lunch. The next day we had our own walking tour that we made up and we had a wonderful day. We also found very nice places to eat. We loved Florence!

Charming Tuscany

The apartment was spacious and had a charming Tuscan flair. The kitchen was well equipped and a good size as,was the seating area. It was situated on a quiet residental street away from the rush of people and traffic, but easily within walking distance to all the historic sights. I would definitely stay there again if in Florence

Great Location

Enjoyed staying here. Very clean, quiet, and plenty of space. Central location to the historic sites. It was a bit of a walk from the train station but we managed. Would stay here again. If you reserve the property make sure you review how to get into the apartment with the host before arriving. It’s a rather involved process.

Charming flat, great location and lovely host.

I can’t say enough great things about this location and apartment. It is quiet and easy access to everything. I was in Florence a week before and stayed in the Savoy Hotel ( room was very small), and it was noisy at times. This apartment was so clean and spacious and very quiet. Close to grocery store, and steps away from cafes. Anytime I had a question Marie was very quick to respond. We will definitely stay here again. AC was good, in all areas of the home.

Beautiful Florence home!

Pros: - Very quiet - Beautiful rooms and bathrooms - Love the showers - AC is fantastic and works great - Close to all the major sights - Elevator - Marie was so helpful and fantastic Cons: - gnats in the kitchen (brought it up to the owner and she was helpful in trying to remedy it) - Check in was incorrect on VRBO. Message Marie before your visit. The instructions were missing a part.

Five star perfection in Firenze

This property was fabulous. The location was absolutely perfect, 5 minute walk to the Piazza Della Signoria, 10 minutes to the Duomo. The kitchen was beautifully done with beautiful tile and plentiful glasses, espresso machine, etc. The layout was perfect for 2 couples traveling together. It was 90 degrees F during our stay but the shutters kept out the heat nicely, plus the AC worked wonderfully when we needed a bit more. The coffee shop on the corner was lovely, an operational wine window around the corner and a lovely gelateria just a few paces away. The host was lovely and communication was great. Thank you, we will absolutely be back!
