Historic heritage 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 and much sought after Piazza d'Azeglio (one of the very few playgrounds for children in the green), and a short walk (0.6 mile) from the Duomo and popular shopping and restaurant areas of Sant'Ambrogio and Piazza Beccaria. It is possible to rent a private parking in the garden of the palace for 25€/day.
The house is in the most beautiful residential area in the historical centre of Florence, known as Piazza D'Azeglio.

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 the nights are unmolested by the touristic crowd. And if you want to climb on the hill of Piazzale Michelangelo is a 25 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 (also with air conditioning).

Historic aristocratic palace in a real florentine area; one of the few spots with an authentic taste of real florentine life unspoiled by the crowd.
This s the landlord just to inform that the construction of the new elevator is now over and it is working beautifully. However, be aware tat this apartment is not wheelchair accessible and not suitable for people with mobility issues or severe disabilities.
Beautiful, Spacious, Fantastic experience. Family of 6 stayed for the weekend and was able to walk to all the museums from here. Close to cafes and all kinds of places to eat. Would definitely be back next time we are in Florence!
We came back to this property for our second stay. That should say it all ... Still the great location: quiet but close to all the things you want to see in Florence. Great local food market just five minute walk away. Owner responds to emails very quickly. Altogether, a great place to stay in Florence.
Highly recommend this apartment! Very friendly & helpful owner, replies on sms/call/mail within less than an hour ! Comfortable beds, silent, well-equipped kitchen, spacious living room. Exellent restaurants 3 minutes away, eg Trattoria Cesarino and Bistro Café 1926. Close to local food market and supermarket.
We would return ! Extremely helpful & serviceminded owner, always reply within 1 hour ! Six friends and all praised this appartment and it’s comfortable beds. Centrally located only 10 minutes walk to Santa Croce, 15 minutes walk to Il duomo, Galleria dell Accademia, Galleria degli Uffizi etc. Taxi from railway station to appartment, 10-15 minutes, approx 17 Eur.
Excellent location a few minutes walk from downtown and all the sights. With a couple of restaurants around the corner, a farmers market (and more good restaurants, e g Cibreo) down the street we found the location excellent to explore the city. The apartment had all the conveniences including much appreciated comfortable beds!
A good central location. Rooms were large except for one of the bedrooms. The stairs to the second floor were more than expected and as such made moving luggage up and down a bit difficult. The toilet in the large bathroom on the main floor was difficult to use as there was a new tank and the seat did not stay up on its own. Both showers upstairs would not be suitable for a larger person. Kitchen was well equipped. Internet was spotty at times. Guido was away but Ruth gave us an orientation to the apartment and told us we could call her at any time. An email address for her would have been convenient for us to have as phone plans for Canadians in Europe are expensive.
Next to the beautiful Piazza d'Azeglio, one of the very few children playgrounds in the green and a short walk (0,6 mile) from the Duomo and popular shopping and restaurant areas of Sant'Ambrogio and Piazza Beccaria.
