    Welcome! To make your stay pleasant for you and for those who arrive later, we ask you to read this little practical information. By booking the apartment, you accept the following.
    Check-in and check-out
    Check-in: from 14:00 to 20:00, by appointment. We ask you to let us know your arrival time in advance, so as to better coordinate us. Check-out: by 10:00 a.m. Check-in after 20:00: possible subject to the availability of our staff, with a supplement: 50€ until 22:00 · 80€ from 22:00 to midnight · 100€ from midnight to 02:00. Check-in after 02:00 is not possible.
    Guest registration (legal requirement)
    Italian law (art. 109 TULPS — R.D. 773/1931) requires us to communicate the identity of all guests to the public security authority. Upon check-in, we will then ask you for a valid identity document for each guest (for foreign guests, a passport). Without this data, we cannot deliver the accommodation to you. This is a requirement for all accommodation facilities in Italy: we record data only for the purpose of public security control.
    Tourist tax
    The City of Florence applies a tourist tax of 6.00€ per person per night, for a maximum of 7 consecutive nights. Minors up to 12 years old are exempt. (To be paid at check-in/already collected from the platform — adapt according to the booking channel.)

    Air conditioning, heating, electricity, water, bed linen and towels, use of the washing machine.

    Parking and ZTL
    The apartment is located in the Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL), reserved for residents: it is not possible to park freely on the street without incurring a fine.

Wow! Location is perfect!

This apartment really blew us away with its proximity to the duomo. It was so awesome to sit in the living room, kitchen, patio, and gaze up at it. It was the right size for our family of five, with comfortable beds and two bathrooms. The shower drain on the second floor was a bit slow and we had some trouble keeping the shower hot enough, but that was literally the only downside we experienced. Everything else was terrific. Would absolutely stay here again.

The Best!

We enjoyed our stay at the apartment so much! Clarissa was quick to respond to all our questions, and Marija kindly met us at the door to let us in and show us around. She even gave us some suggestions! Beds were good and there was hot water for the showers. It is within steps of the Duomo, and a very direct walk to the David, the Central Market, and the train station. We enjoyed escaping the crowds by sipping our wine in the evenings on the terrace. I would highly recommend!

Gorgeous View in the Heart of Florence

What a wonderful location! Walking distance from Santa Maria Novella train station and all the major sites you want to visit. The old building is super charming and the view of the Duomo from the kitchen and roof deck is priceless. We loved hearing the church bells at various times throughout the day. There are a lot of stairs involved with staying here - up to the apartment (there’s a small elevator) and then up to 2 of the bedrooms and the kitchen/roof deck, so if you have bad knees it might not be the best place for you, but I just took some Advil and enjoyed that view. I will definitely recommend Borgo San Lorenzo to any friends traveling to Florence.

Incredible rooftop terrace

The weather was a bit cool and rainy during our stay, so we didn’t make as much use of the rooftop patio as we might have otherwise, but you have a view of the Duomo on one side and the Basilica San Lorenzo on the other. Beautiful at every time of day!! The location can’t be beat - you are situated in the centre of everything but we didn’t hear any street noise. The house is spacious, but I think not great for the price otherwise. The furnishings were pretty run down. The staff we dealt with for check in were very friendly, professional and accommodating.

Percect location, accurate description

Our family of five stayed for four nights in the brutal July heat. Staying in this apartment significantly improved our trip. It was spacious, well maintained and exactly as advertised. The central location could not have been more perfect. We were able to get anywhere of interest in under 10 minutes walk. There were virtually unlimited options for restaurants within a few blocks. The AC and lovely living room provided an oasis from the heat allowing us to recharge and get back out there. The only potential challenge would be the stairs if you are not up for four flights. But we had a great time.

The apartment is in PERFECT location right in the center of Florence. Close to the Duomo and on a popular street but high enough it being quite. The deck was perfect with a great view and host was great with the check in and easy to communicate with. Definitely recommend staying and was the perfect place for our group of 4.

Wow. This location is unreal.

Walking into this apartment and catching a glimpse of the duomo right out the living room window took our breath away. This apartment provided the perfect exposure to the amazing sites of Florence. We had plenty of space and loved the view from the breakfast terrace. The pics don't do this place justice. I highly recommend it and would gladly stay here again in the future. The location can't be beaten.

The place was much older than the pictures showed and the cleanliness was just basic. There were foot prints on the floor when we got inside the unit. There was no hot water in the shower upstairs and this same shower did not drain. The location made it easier for us but ithe unit was not as depicted.
