Photos and Description of the Historic Center vacation apartment rental
1 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom, Sleeps 3

This magnificent loft apartment is set on the 3rd floor in a 15th century Medici Palazzo.

The loft apartment is 90sqm (about 1000sqft) with amazingly high ceiling of 5meters (about16ft) high. The ceiling is the original 15th century Florentine wood work (a cassettoni) that has all been finely and painstakingly preserved.

The apartment consists of an entrance hallway which leads you into the loft apartment with 2 huge cathedral windows that let a lot of light in. The flooring is the old Florentine terracotta, there is a small kitchenette with all the amenities necessary in a modern day kitchen. The bathroom has a shower and has all been finished with precious marble. The living area has been decorated with very unique antique Florentine furniture and some of the pieces are masterpieces of the old Florentine craftsmanship.

Seeing is believing how welcoming and beautiful this apartment is. The apartment is on the 3rd floor with no lift, so there are 70 steps, but it is all well worth the journey to this 'Medici jewel'. The location is exceptional, for you are stones throw to all the Florentine museums and important sites, shops, and bars and restaurants. The building itself is so centrally placed for it was said to have been built by one of the Medici for his French mistress.

Great Flat; Great People; Awesome City

5 of 5
Submitted: December 22, 2009 Stayed: December 2009
My stay in Florence with my boyfriend was the result of my participation in the Florence Biennale. The flat more than met our expectations of providing a lovely setting in which to entertain friends, both new and old. In fact, while staying here I ran into an old colleague from Oxford whom I had not seen in nearly a decade. So, in fact, this flat put my back in touch with an old friend, whom we had over for dinner! It's a grand Florentine pied a terre, not part of the normal tourist experience. We loved our stay and would return in a heartbeat! It's a stone's throw from everything you want to see in the heart of a real Florentine neighborhood off the tourist track. We highly recommend staying here! Thank you Frederica and Simone, and their new baby girl!

Great Place!

This is a great place to stay while in Florence. It is very centrally located and the apartment is quite spacious & homey. I will definitely come back and stay here the next time I'm in Florence. Simone & Frederica were quite accommodating. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. The one minor drawback for some people might be the stairs, but it was not an issue for us. Thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful apartment.

CENTRAL SPACIOUS APARTMENT

4 of 5
Submitted: September 14, 2010 Stayed: September 2010
Super apartment beautifully furnished in a central location. Simone very helpful and kindly left us a bottle of wine and a few essentials in the fridge. The only downside was the noise at night/early hours and the neighbour above who seemed to be walking around a lot throughout the night. Do not stay here if you are unfit as there are approximately 70 steps to climb and no lift.

Absolutely amazing, couldn't have been any better. The apartment is in a perfect location just 5 minutes walk from the Duomo, restaurants are everywhere, and the neighborhood is relatively quiet at night.
