Photos and Description of the Historic Center vacation apartment rental
3 bedrooms 3 shower rooms, 4 toilets, 2 sofabeds, sleeps up to 10 people

This brand new 3 bedrooms very bright large apartment (142 yards, 130 square metres) is fully air conditioned and located in the center of Florence in a 1850 aristocratic building at the second (noble) floor. It has luxury features such as elevator for the main staircase, top end faucets and bathrooms (Devon & Devon), top quality beds and mattresses, very luxury finishing (Oak wood floor, high end kitchen) and NO cheap quality furnitures. This apartment was until very recently the private home of a lady of local aristocracy and has now been completely renovated to add a touch of freshness to the classic style. The 2 large windows of the huge drawing room look into a private garden where several trees are hand in hand with a big magnolia tree which rises amongst eighteen century statues. Please be aware that even if the main staircase has a brand new elevator the apartment it is not wheelchair accessible and not suitable for people with disabilities.

Historic Palace:: This very bright and spacious three bedrooms is articulated on two levels (both with air conditioning) linked by an internal private staircase which grants a quiet sleep even amongst a big group of friends or a large family. It is in a historical aristocratic palace in a fantastic location - next to the beautiful Piazza d'Azeglio (one of the very few playgrounds for children in the green), and a short walk from the Duomo and popular shopping and restaurant areas of Sant'Ambrogio and Piazza Beccaria. Possibility to rent a private parking for 25€/day. The house is in the most beautiful residential area in the historical centre of Florence, known as Piazza D'Azeglio. It is a twelve minutes walk from the Duome, Santa Croce Cathedral, the Synagogue, or Ponte Vecchio. It is a very Florentine part of the town; where real Florentines still live. As a matter of fact this property has been until very recently the private inhabitation of a lady of local aristocracy.

Quite and Yet Lively Surroundings: The day market of Sant'Ambrogio where you can find all sort of delicious food is only a few hundred metres away. Twenty metres away you have one of the few organic food shops of Florence. If you do not feel like cooking, this is an area with plenty of charming little restaurants of all sorts. The world-renown Gelateria Veneta and Vivoli (ice cream shops) are only a few blocks away. Shops of all sorts are only a minute away and on the last week-end of each month the Flea Market is 250 metres away. Yet, the area is very quiet. And if you want to climb on the hill of Piazzale Michelangelo is a 20 minutes walk to get on the top.

Comfortable and Cosy:: It is very nicely and tastefully decorated throughout and has three (king size) bedrooms (all with air conditioning), three baths with showers, 4 toilets, and a huge, high ceilings (4,50 metres!) living room. The kitchen is large and fully equipped with fridge, freezer, stove, oven, dishwasher and washing machine. The apartment also has wi-fi Internet for your convenience. It is located at the second (noble) floor and an elevator has just been installed and ready to use. However, this apartment is set up on two floors and the internal staircase does not have an elevator (see photos below). This is perfect for a group of people traveling together or for a family looking for room to spread out and privacy amogst them. As a matter of fact kitchen and drawing room are separated from the bedrooms by an internal private staircase which assures quite sleeping in every crowded or child-noise situation. Fast Internet wi-fi Connection - Full Air Conditioning - Washing machine - TV - Fridge and freezer - Gas Stove - Oven - Dish Washer.

Perfect spot for a true florence experience

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: May 13, 2013
  • Stayed: May 2013
The location is perfect. An approximate 15 minute stroll from Duomo. The area surrounding this apartment give a true florentine experience. Great restaurants, a park, and all amenities. The unit was clean, very comfortable. We stayed with 6 adults amd 2 children with ease. I would have Guido point out grocery stores and any amenities you may require. Also, request the easiest way from the train station, once you know, its a breeze. I will be back, and see no alternative than to stay with Guido. Rent with confidence. I do have high expectations and they were met. Last thing, a lift is being installed, so that will be an advantage to disabled persons once completed. Ciao
Owner's Response: Dear Joe,
Many thanks for this very nice review. I am glad you have liked your stay and do hope to seeyou back. Just one thig which may be useful to future guests reading this review: the apartment wont be wheel chair accessible even with the elevator.

Fantastic apartment

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Mar 16, 2013
  • Stayed: Mar 2013
This is a spacious, lovely, immaculate apartment in a charming older building with a top notch renovation, equipped with anything you could need, including a coffee machine, washing machine, high speed wifi and cable tv in the living room (but you will need to be fluent in Italian). Linens and towels were high quality and clean; the mattresses were firm and very comfortable on all of the beds.The landlord made himself available to questions, and was helpful with recommendations for restaurants and markets, coffee places, etc. He even supplied a three plug converter without hesitation when we asked him to suggest where we could purchase one. The configuration of the apartment is perfect, with all three bedrooms all on the second level. It is located in a quiet neighborhood but is just a few blocks from the Duomo, easily walkable to most attractions, but not more than a ten minute cab ride to practically anywhere in town.There is a bus stop on the corner,but we stuck to taxis and foot power. There are several banks (two with cash machines) a block away, a pharmacy, small bodega and a large supermarket with an excellent bread and pastry counter, fresh cheese, fruit and produce just a couple of blocks further. An excellent choice for your stay in Florence!

nice apartment in residential area of florence

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Dec 20, 2012
  • Stayed: Dec 2012
we had a great time here for 8 days in December 2012. we found the facilities clean, beds comfortable and all necessities provided for - all as described in the listing. the house is in a lovely, quiet, residential area of Florence but very near (5 minutes) from great markets, restaurants and shops. it is a 15-20 minute walk max to most of the major attractions and we also found the bus network convenient and easy to navigate when we didn't feel like walking. for us the location was the perfect balance between convenience and privacy - far enough away from the touristy areas, allowing us to enjoy the more local experience we sought but without missing out on any sights in the city. Guido is a perfect host. he provided helpful guidance on neighborhood amenities and was easily reachable for anything that came up during our stay. his family is lovely and we appreciated knowing they live at the property. we were there with our 2 year old and would recommend for children but please take note of the stairs mentioned in the description (an elevator is being installed but was not ready at the time of our visit).

I have already written a review to Guido. I am taking the time to do this again because it is information anyone going to Florence,Italy should know. In a word, his apartment is beautiful ! Guido was a perfect host. We were a short walk to the Domo and the neighborhood was quiet and lovely. The apartment was very spacious and the beds big and comfortable. Our friends rented a car and we were on our way to surrounding towns within minutes because of the central location of this property. Guido told us about many different restaurants and places to visit. All were fantastic ! We have been to this wonderful city many times and this trip was the best because of how comfortable the apartment was. The beauty of Florence is enhanced by its culture and its people. We were treated like residents and not visitors. Both Guido and the citizens made us feel right at hiome. My wife and I have traveled extensively and Florence is one of our favorite places. I can say without reservation that if you are considering Florence as a destination, you should stay in this beautiful apartment where you too will experience being treated by both Guido and the Florentine people as friends and citizens.
Owner's Response: Dear Raymond,
Many thanks for taking the time to write such a beautiful review. I have really appreciated it!
It was very nice to meet you and your friends of which I have appreciated the spirit, honesty and frankness. I wish to see you back one day.
all the best
