About this property

Sweet Home Signoria, ideal to live the true soul of the Renaissance Florence

At Sweet Home Signoria you can breathe the traditional and charming Tuscan atmosphere, thanks to the warm pale colours of the walls, to the wood and exposed beams, cleverly mixed with the functionality of modern comforts as Wi-Fi, microwaves, washing-machine,TV etc.
The strategic location of the apartment places you at the very center of the Florentine Renaissance, that you can enjoy in all its beauty. Ponte Vecchio can be easily reached with a few minutes walk, and all the main attractions of the city center as The Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, Uffizi and Palazzo Vecchio are a stone's throw away
For those who wish to live the true soul of Renaissance Florence, this bright apartment, newly renovated with taste, is the perfect choise: suitable indeed for those who dream of immersing themselves in town history and in its momuments, but also for those who love the comfort of moving by bike or on foot around the city center, for families with children who need large and well-organized spaces, or even for those who explore the city with friends, with the advantage of 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and a wide, cosy and comfortable living area, fulcrum of the house and conviviality.
Stepping into the apartment, you pass through a bright hall that opens to the living area of the house, consisting of a fully equipped kitchenette, where you can prepare and enjoy your breakfast, lunch or dinner every time you want, and of the living room furnished with a big wooden table and a sofa that quickly turns into a single bed. The sand-colored forniture give a relaxing and homey touch to the room, and the big windows that let the sunshine come in, give brightness to the whole room.
From here a short hall, equipped with a wide built-in wardrobe, leads to the first wide and very bright bedroom with an original antique decorative fireplace in terracotta and a window that faces a quiet inner courtyard.
The bedroom is furnished with a romantic wrought-iron double bed, a single bed and a styled wardrobe, where you can easily store your holiday outfits, TV and a writing desk, for those who need to work at PC.
A bathroom with wide shower completes the lower floor.
From the living room a modern iron and light wood stair leads to the romantic loft, where there’s a master bedroom with ceiling beams, skylight, styled wardrobe and TV.
From this room you access another bed room with a single bed.
A bathroom with washing-machine completes the upper floor.
Wi-FI, aircon and heating

The apartment was everything it said it was and more. It came with an extremely helpful book telling you everything you needed to know down to a fantastic restaurant recommendation and helping us get transportation. Definitely recommend this location

Great Location!
The property couldn't have been in a better location for us. Walking distance to everything, including all the great restaurants south of the Ponte Vecchio. The place was clean and inviting, but if I have to give one critique, it's that there is only one set of keys for the unit and three doors to get through (building door, stairwell gate, apt door). A key is required to get in and out of the stairwell gate. We had three people and if one person stayed behind, they were essentially locked in the apt building. At best it's an inconvenience, but at worst, if there was a fire, or health emergency, the person inside without the key would stuck with no way to get past the stairwell gate. This was a challenge with our family as my older mother would go to bed early, while my son and I would go out each night. If you're able to add keys for guests, I would strongly recommend for safety reasons alone.

Great Central Location for Families
Right in the heart of Firenze/Florence, everything you want to do and see is within a 10 minute walk. The sites, the Arno River, Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi Gallery, Santa Maria del Fiore, Academia Gallery, with comfortable delicious Coin eatery (and many others, plus shopping) just around the corner. Helpful communicative hosts. Clean. Comfortable beds and bedding. Plenty of towels. Wide open space. Small dining table and seating area. Kitchen and supplies for cooking needs. Wi-fi. Two TVs for down time. Only negative was noise transfer from upstairs bedroom & restroom to downstairs - zero soundproofing. Recommend earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. PS. “Store My Luggage” (luggage storage for 2-3 hours on the morning of check-out) one street over worked like a charm!

Central location, inadequate aircon
Perfect location. Close to everything. There’s only 1 and half bathroom, NOT two full bath. Aircon is inadequate for the space for main floor and second floor bedroom.

Great location!
The apartment is near/walkable to many sights and excellent places to eat. The area is loud at night. And the low ceilings in the upstairs bedroom were challenging.

The Heart of Florence
This apartment is located in a vibrant neighborhood, large windows, lots of light, vibrant city, lots of tourists, shops, restaurants and museums all in walking distance! It is the perfect base camp, stock up the kitchen with grocery stores and markets nearby, or you are steps away from the best sandwich shop in Florence! We loved staying here and management was quick to respond and check in was seamless! 2 flights of stairs but my mom who is 77 had no problems. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you for your hospitality!

Great location
The apartment is clean and functional. It's best feature is it's location. So close to the sites you want to see, shopping and dining are just a block or two away. The listing did say 20 stairs - it is 40 and they are a bit steep. Typical of that area for sure. That was a bit hard on my 74 year old mother but we made it work. The bed on the main floor is extremely squeeky. Everyone in the apartment can hear it - if you are a restless sleeper it will keep everyone else awake. Liza was quick to answer questions and helped with coordinating a taxi for the train station. Overall we had an enjoyable time and the apartment fit our needs.

Great place in Florence
My husband and I came to Florence with our 19 year old daughters and a family friend. The place was great for all of us. It's in a central part of town that was easy to walk to. Barbara was very responsive and clear about how to get into the apartment. It was clean and spacious. I would stay here again.

Lovely Florence Apartment
Barbara and Liz could not have been more helpful. They came to the rescue immediately when we accidentally left something in the apartment on our way out. They answered our text immediately. The apartment was lovely and fit our party of 6 nicely. We were able to eat dinner in the apartment 2 nights and had everything we needed.

Tourism has always been my passion and my "motto" is: feel at home, even far away from home.
Moved by a great love for travel and hospitality, I like to know new places and learn about different cultures and people.
But I also love to show you the beauty of Florence & Tuscany, how the locals "feel" this enchantable place, just to make you live unforgettable experiences to tell!
We look forward to welcoming you!
