Apartment in a 13th Century palace in the heart of Florence

Unusual, romantic apartment full of atmosphere in one of Florence's oldest areas - that once occupied by the Roman amphitheatre. Indeed, the street takes its name from one of the principal entrances into the arena. Just 50m from the church of Santa Croce Church, 200m from Piazza Signoria, 100m from Piazza del Duomo, 200m from the Uffizzi Gallery and Ponte Vecchio, and 10m from Vivoli, Florence's best known ice cream parlour!! The apartment, on the first floor of this antique palazzo, is accessed via a flight of 24 steps (no elevator). It offers 2 double bedrooms (one with a French bed - 140x200 cm ), which look onto the open plan sitting room area, a fully appointed kitchen, a marble dining table for 6. It is tastefully furnished with the owner's personal belongings and is equipped with a TV, DVD and CD player, stereo, WI-FI, dishwasher, washing-machine, air cond
Just walking through the central courtyard of this beautiful Palazzo is a journey to the heart of historic Florence. Centrally located, it is perfect for sight seeing, shopping and food markets, discovering cosy trattorie and bars, as well as artists' and artisans' ateliers.
Good for 2 up to 4 guests ( 5 guests on request )

Perfect Spot In Florence

We absolutely loved this place. It was just a few minute walk to town but far enough away that it was super loud at night. We were greeted at the front door and given a tour which was awesome! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a weekend getaway in Florence!

Our group of 3 had a wonderful stay at this quirky, fun property. The place is very centrally located and is a short walk to sights and food in Florence. The owner was excellent with communication and met us to show us how to get in and assist us with getting settled. The complimentary bottle of Chianti was a very thoughtful touch. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Location for exploring Florence

It's a short walk to all the major sites and walkable to the Boboli Gardens and PItti Palace and other areas across the river. The apartment is truly unique, located in an ancient building and filled with the owner's lifetime of collections. Quiet, charming, and evocative.

Walking in the steps of Dante

What a treat to stay in such a historic building and amazing apartment so eclectic in furnishings. Hard to beat the location. Everything so close to walk to. A bit away from the crowds. The Vivoli gelato worth the wait and it has a wine window. My only suggestion would be a bathroom mirror a bit lower so shorter people can use it.

Amazing apartment close to all amenities

Loved our stay at this property. The check in process was very easy and Diego was very accommodating as our train from Rome was delayed and then finding a taxi quite the wait. The location is fabulous, close to everything. The farthest walk we had was 25 min and that was to a tour bus. Everything else was super close with the train station a 15-20 min walk depending on the crowds. Beds were comfortable and the fans helped immensely with the heat. Overall such a wonderful experience.

Property is exactly as advertised. It’s is a great location to get to everything. Most places are within walking distance. Wife and I spent 3 nights here. Would stay again and recommend it for others. Great communication with Fabrizio and Diego with a late check in due to plane delay. They’re very accommodating. Thank you!
