Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

This charming apartment sits just outside of the hustle and bustle of central Florence. It’s in a quiet spot close to the Giardino dell’Orticoltura, a short walk from Piazza della Libertà, where you can hop on the tram. Attractions including the Duomo, Galleria dell’Accademia, and the Uffizi are around thirty minutes away on foot, should you fancy a stroll. The apartment is attractive and charming, a tranquil place to call home during your stay in Florence. There’s a small balcony where you can sip vino after busy days spent seeing the sights, and comfortable beds so you can get a great night’s sleep each night.

Home truths

    There’s free on-street parking here, but parking in central Florence can be tricky so we recommend sticking to the public transport system.

    This apartment is on the top floor of a two-story building with no lift, so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility.

    We think the kitchenette is better suited to preparing light bites and snacks rather than full meals.

    A small double bed can be added to bedroom two on request.

    There are no mosquito nets so you may need to keep the windows closed in the evening.

    Your host kindly asks that you respect the building’s quiet hours from midnight-6am.

About Accademia

With the Piazza San Marco at its heart, this area is a hotspot for cultural sights. It’s packed with museums, churches, squares, and historic buildings that can keep you occupied for days on end. This bundle of streets holds some of the greatest artistic heritage in Europe – the Accademia Gallery houses the original David by Michelangelo, and many of the famous Italian painters were members of the Florence Academy...
