Photos and Description of the Florence vacation apartment rental Unique 1 BR 1 BA Luxury Apartment Opposite the Cathedral

The apartment called 'Florian' is situated in Piazza del Duomo in the heart of Florence’s historical centre, on the 4th floor without lift of a prestigious XVI century palace that once belonged to the Ghiberti family, one of Florence’s most important historical families. Spending time in my apartment is to be accompanied by the shadow of the magnificent dome of Brunelleschi, the grandeur of Giotto’s bell tower and the splendour of Vasari’s frescos, in an unforgettable dream that Florence will dream with you and bring you great joy and an even greater desire to return. Florian directly face the Duomo, giving you the sensation that you could reach out and touch its magnificent green and white marble facade. Piazza del Duomo is now a pedestrian area. The apartment has been completely restored in Florentine style, but with all modern comforts.

Florian Apartment

Review Submitted: November 13, 2007 Date of Stay: April 2007
Wonderful location with in walking distance to all classic Florentine venues. Quiet building with easy access to buses to anywhere. Many breakfast outlets and restaurants closeby. The Duomo bells are silent at night. Nightlife at outdoor cafe on next block goes until late, ear plugs a good option if light sleeper. Remember that ground is floor 1! So a 4th floor walk up is really the fifth floor. Stairs are easy, well lit. Worth the climb! Friendly and helpful owner who speaks English. We will stay here again.
Owner's Response: Dears,
thank you for your comment. I try to do my best.
I hope to meet you again in Florence next future.
Ciao
Luca

My wife & I stayed for three weeks in March, 2008. The
apartment was perfect for us. Luca, the owner even
purchased Siena/Fiorentino football tickets for us and
our son, who visited for a week. Great location.
Thanks, Luca

My family stayed in this apartment for 4 nights and we really enjoyed the accomodations. The apartment is very nicely decorated, clean and very comfortable. The view is spectacular. The apartment is in the center of Florence so it is convenient to all areas in the city. Luca is very nice and helpful. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Florence.

Review Submitted: October 19, 2007 Date of Stay: October 2007
My friend and I stayed in this chic little apartment for one week. We booked through vrbo, and the emails I received from Luca were so friendly that I felt comfortable booking this apartment. Luca met us at the apartment, and was a charming and hospitable as his emails.
The apartment is all brand new, clean and creatively and fashionably decorated. I liked the faux-suede couch - very Italian! Even though it was small, it had the feeling of spaciousness as it is spread out, and there are four steps up to the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen and bathroom fully equipped. The posted photos are exactly what the apartment looks like, athough the proximity of the Duomo church is even more unbelievable when you are there. The apartment is in an ancient Palazzo, and we enjoyed going through the huge door directly off the famous Duomo square. It was noisy, but the double glazed windows helped. Note: there are mosquitos.
Others have mentioned the 87 steps (we counted them too!), so of course this apartment is not good for people with mobility problems, but great for burning off all the pasta we ate!

Owner's Response: Dear Christina,
