At the Heart of Florence with Private Garden and Parking

This charming and unique apartment sets on the ground floor of a historic building right at Florence's Historic Center. It is strategically situated just 5 minutes walk from Piazza Santa Croce, and 15 minutes walk from Piazza Signoria and The Ufizzi.

This accommodation has been restored (last renovation on november 2016) and converted into an adorable apartment, very well furnished and with modern facilities. The highlight is its private, sunny garden with dining table for 'al fresco' meals. Private parking is also available.

There is a cosy living room , dining room at a veranda facing the garden, well equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook a delicious Tuscan meal, a master double room with fresco ceiling with in suite bathroom, a double bedroom with 2 single beds, a studio with 2 single beds plus one bathroom with shower. All bathrooms are made with Carrara marble.

The market of Santo Ambrogio , the most characteristic food market in Florence is only at 5 minutes walk. It is a nice way to wake up in the morning, have a lazy breakfast with a true cappuccino or espresso and take a tour around fresh and exquisite season vegetables and fruits or local cheese just smelling the flower's newest aromas.

All around, there are many restaurants and bars where local Fiorentini go for a quick coffee, lunch and dinner meals, with a vast selection of places running from wine bars, wooden oven pizzerias, local trattorie and famous restaurants.

From there, you can also rent bikes to visit Florence everywhere you want to go!

The famous FLEA MARKET of Florence is located in Piazza dei Ciompi at only 10 minutes walk from the apartment. It opens every day from 9 to 19.30. If you're lucky enough to go there on the last Sunday of every month, the stalls extend into the surrounding streets. Here you can find furniture and objects from the past, prints, coins and jewellery. It's worth a trip if only to get insights on Italy's past through the artifacts displayed in these cluttered stalls.


I live close by and available 24/7.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Wonderful visit to Florence!

We had a great stay! Christina is a terrific hostess who met us at the property and was responsive throughout our visit, including a recommendation for a wine tour in Tuscany. An easy walk to nearby groceries and an open air market plus a well equipped kitchen made meal prep a breeze. and the apartment is a 10-15 minute walk to many Florence attractions. Highly recommended!

Lovely apartment with great amenities

We arrived to the apartment and were met by the host, Christina, she took loads of time explaining how to work the lights, the ac units, the washer and everything else about the property. She had a book with a map for us to use and some suggestions of markets and restaurants nearby. When we contacted her during the stay with a question, she responded very quickly. The bonus of having a clothes washer after a couple weeks of travel is not to be understated. She has a full size fridge and dishwasher and enough plates, glasses and cookware to satisfy our needs. There are three bedrooms and two baths so we two each had our own space. The garden patio was a lovely spot to have a coffee in the am or a glass of wine and snacks in the afternoon. I was in the front bedroom and the street noise was a bit loud, but that is largely unavoidable in Florence. Overall, a lovely, accessible apartment in a fabulous city.

Very nice house for a family with teens.

First of all, Christina was the best host! She was helpful and responded to my questions instantly. The house was perfect for our family with two teenage boys who preferred having a room each. They eat constantly and having a full kitchen was a big plus. A/C worked so well and we were so glad during the heat wave. We wanted to go to Tuscan country side for truffle hunting and having a private parking in the backyard was exactly what we were looking for. Santa Croce market is nearby and you’ll love it if you are a foodie. There are many good restaurants nearby as well. You’ll have to walk 15 min. to the center of the city and taxies weren’t easily available. So bring good walking shoes.

Wonderful ground floor apartment near Santa Croce

Christina was a wonderful host who was very responsive before our arrival and met us at the property to check us in and explain how everything worked. She even made sure we were connected to the WiFi before she left. Property was located very close to Mercato di Sant’Ambrogio, which is indoor/outdoor market selling all the fresh produce, fish, meats and cheeses you could want. Also very easy walk to Piazza Santa Croce, where there are all sorts of vendors, restaurants and shops for local products like gold jewelry and leather. There was a great little pasticceria/bakery (open since 1890) just a few blocks away where we often got our morning coffee and pastries, and they also had good sandwiches. The old charm of this place is hard to describe and the pictures don’t do it justice. Although we didn’t use it, there was an interior parking space included which would have been essential if we had rented a car as the parking on the street was very limited. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location but noisy

Lovely home in a safe and convenient location. Close to great restaurants, attractions, and bus stop. It is less than 30min walk to the train station, which is important as it is difficult to reserve or stop a taxi. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. Took off one star for the following reasons: 1) There was some smell like wet carpet in the home, although there was no carpet in the home. 2) The road noise and the noise from the building door opening and closing was really loud. If you are light sleeper this can be an issue and cannot be avoided as the apartment is on the ground floor.

A Wonderful Home to Stay

Christina was very friendly and helpful to give us a tour of the apartment when we arrived. (She made sure we knew how to get into the doors, etc). We had Christina's contact info, but we didn't need any more assistance. My friends and I were very comfortable during our stay. It was nice for all of us to sit at the table outside in the early evening. It felt like a friend's home instead of a sterile rental property. It was easy to take a bus from the train station. It was a convenient location to the places we wanted to go. The pizza was great at Le Carceri on the next street over.
