About this property
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.

Great place, great location. Very clean and comfortable, was an ideal spot for me and my three kids. Christina was great, met us there for check-in to make sure we were good and gave us great recommendations. Would definitely stay there again!
Communication was excellent, start to finish. Apartment was exactly as per the pictures and as described. Our stay was perfect - cosy apartment with comfy beds, great location and overall an easy stay! Denise.
A beautifully appointed and clean accommodation located in a quieter part of Florence. Very convenient to restaurants and sites of interest. Communication with Christina was efficient and appreciated as was the orientation. Outdoor patio was an added bonus.
This apartment was perfect. I stayed here with my sister and mother. It is a beautiful apartment with charm and comfort. It was spacious with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and full modern kitchen. The sun/eating room was lovely each morning. We also loved the neighborhood where we were walking distance to all major sites, but removed just enough that we didn't have to be in the center of tourist traffic. Lovely restaurants nearby. Also, Christina was a lovely host. She provided us with all the important information that we needed which made our stay easy.
We loved our location, within walking distance of the top tourist attractions in Firenze, plenty of space for four friends traveling together. Christina was very helpful in orienting us to the space and giving us recommendations. Would definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed everything about our stay at this property. Christina was super helpful at check in and the apartment was an easy walk from everything we wanted to do in Florence. It was great to be able to do laundry as we traveled and Christina’s recommendations helped us get to know the neighborhood.
Lovely home on the edge of historic center alows quick walking access and escape from tourist congestion.Wonderful local restaurant and bar right across the street. Fun local market a few blocks over with most every kind of vender. Highly recommend!
This was our first trip to Florence . The property is in a great location, 15 min. walk to all the attractions. It was clean and spacious and met our needs perfectly.
Christina's accommodation is so well located in Florence, close to the main tourist attractions. We stayed there as a family and loved our time in Florence. Christina was very helpful during our stay. We recommend the place.
We were very comfortable in Christina’s place. She was warm and welcoming when we arrived and took the time to show us how everything worked. My family enjoyed the patio area and had a place to park a car if needed. We did not have a car but were able to walk everywhere we wanted to see; perfect place for location. Another bonus was no stairs!! I would recommend!
This place is a small walk to most sites. Uber is available to longer trips but overall walkable. There is a little restaurant bar with nightly happenings where we sat and make friends with the staff at night . Beautiful apartment clean and spacious
This apartment is extremely well situated with walking access to all the attractions despite being in a quiet area of the city. It set up allows this apartment to accomodate a famly of adults comfortably with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It is well stocked (unlike some apartments that only have enough for a couple of people) with kitchen accessories and clean towels for everyone. It was easy to access the host who responded to requests in a timely fashion. We are hoping to stay in this apartment again if we return 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!
We really enjoyed our stay in Christina's apartment. It was very comfortable for our family and minutes' walk to most every place we wanted to go. The apartment is clean, and Christina and Massimo really made us feel welcome and went out of their way to make our stay in Florence special. Thank you!
The apartment was located near to where my grandson is living in Florence so the location was perfect for us. The check-in process and communication with the owner was great. She carefully explained to us everything we needed to know whilestaying there. Itthereeverything
Christina's house is beautiful and well furnished. We stayed there a week with 4 adults and 2 young kids.The backyard/parking was perfect to have a late diner after putting the kids to sleep. The location is great, it's a walking distance of most of the attraction.
Only downside with the house is the wifi, it was unusable for most of our stay.
We had a wonderful time in Florence. The apartment was very nice and located in the middle of the city, there was parking available and everything in walking distance. Perfect for us. Christina was a wonderful host, showed us everything. Thank you!
We had a lovely stay at Christina's lovely apartment. It had everything we needed and was a lovely respite after playing tourist all day. Christina met me when I arrived and showed me around the apartment. It is located close to the Santa Croce basilica and an easy walk into the historic area and a more local area which we enjoyed. I would be delighted to stay here again.
The property is as described. Great location, large, well equipped, and very clean. Excellent restaurants in close proximity. The communications with the host are excellent. There is parking for your car if you have one. Units equipped with A/C and washer on site so perfect for a family.
This is an ideal place to stay in Florence. Cristina was a helpful and responsive owner. The location near the St. Ambrogio market was perfect with daily vendors available and good restaurants nearby. The place is quite quiet given that it fronts on a street with a flow of automobiles.Having the open space in the back with a table and chairs is a nice option (it is billed as a garden, but it more of a patio and a place to park a car, which could be a great advantage given parking rules in Florence). The one caveat was that the bathroom in the front bedroom needed to have a better bathmat and a grab bar. One of our guests slipped in the bathtub while showering and hurt her knee. Cristina told us she was installing some safety features, so you might want to check on that. All in all, an ideal place to stay enough away from the tourist areas to be quiet but close enough to walk there in 10 or 15 minutes.
Christina met us upon arrival and explained everything completely. The property was as described and wonderful for a family of 5 guests. Location was great and easy to find and we walked everywhere, except to the Airport. She left a booklet with lots of helpful info on things to do and where to eat, etc.I have stayed in Florence a dozen times always in Hotels and this was a real treat. Thank you Christina for being a wonderful Host, Jim
