About this property

Apartment San Niccolo

Quaint Florentine apartment located on the first floor of a medieval building called Quarratesi tower-house. The apartment, however, was born in a recent period, following some enlargements made to the original structure but present in its entirety.
The apartment is quiet because it does not face the street but has a view of the park of Palazzo Vegni, the adjacent building that houses a university detachment. The park can be visited free on Sundays and is very interesting.
It is located 500 meters from the Ponte Vecchio, in a very popular area between Piazzale Michelangelo and the Lungarni, very characteristic even without being in the area of greatest tourist density, with various restaurants, a pizzeria, a very good wine bar, a bar and a bakery.
Two independent bedrooms from which you access the kitchen, the bathroom, the terrace and you can leave the apartment without having to cross the other room. Floors with parquet, exposed beams. Complete bathroom with shower and windowed, kitchen with living room and kitchenette, private internal courtyard on the side of the kitchen and a magnificent terrace on the side of the rooms.
It can be reached with a walk of about 25 minutes from the Central Station of Santa Maria Novella or by bus.
It is located outside the Limited Traffic Zone of the historic center and nearby is the only free parking in Florence located in Via dell'Erta Canina, about 400 meters from the apartment, under the Piazzale Michelangelo.
Private parking available without reservation.
Free Wifi.
Guests will find linen and towels in the apartment available.

Unbeatable
This apartment was exactly what I hoped for my family of 4- and it surpassed my expectations! It is perfectly located on the Oltrarno - a historical hub of artisans, artists, craftspeople- with easy walking access to any of the major and minor attractions. From stazione SMN with luggage, I would recommend taking a cab. Honestly, you would find a wonderful sampling of things to do (incl. foods and history to digest) if you never crossed the river. Our faves: hilly walks with incredible views beginning right behind/near the apt, toward san miniato, forte di belvedere, piazz.le michelangelo, etc; churches/piazzas of santo spirito, carmine, giardino do boboli: many other galleries and museums. And then, when you have had enough of city energy/people/noise (and because seeing so much beauty all around you can be a lot to take in), you can retreat to Alessandro's idyllic terrace pictured in photos, to reflect on it all. It is lush, green, fragrant, clean feeling- perfect! His place has several little spots, inside and out, to take a moment and enjoy 'living in Florence' for a bit. In the summer, remember to close everything down to keep cool inside (no AC). Alessandro was a great host! His attentiveness and generosity was felt in every moment, from communication and welcoming wine/Moka coffee to the trust he places in his guests' appreciation and care of his artful, elegant but very functional haven. The best of Italian hospitality. Thank you so much, Alessandro!

Great location!
The host was very communicative and helpful. He told us about current local events and helped us by calling a taxi to our next location. The place was clean and outdoor areas were beautiful. It was in a great location, away from most crowds but in walking distance to everything. Italy traveler tax not included in total fee.

Wonderful!
Our stay in Alessandro's place was wonderful. The apartment is in a nice neighborhood. It looks over a garden so it is very quiet. The bed was comfortable, the water pressure was good and it was very clean. Frankly, we were not there much, but it was a lovely place to come back to and rest. Alessandro is a very helpful host and he aims to please. He left us a bottle of wine and chocolate and nectarines for our arrival. 2 days later he dropped off fresh pastries and coffee for us. He was available and willing to give us travel advice. My only regret is that the timing was off, so we could not meet in person. I would definitely recommend this place! Thank you, Alessandro!

A great place to stay
The location of this property is fabulous. We were just a short walk away from most places that we wanted to visit in Florence. I was a little uncomfortable with the thought of using the Vikey remote key system at first, but it was really easy to use. The apartment itself was very comfortable and homey. Alessandro was an excellent host—ready to answer any questions we may have had. He delivered delicious bakery goods to the apartment twice. When it was time to leave, he helped us with our luggage and even ordered the taxi for us. We had a wonderful stay here, and would gladly stay here again if we ever return to Florence.

Excellent location - beautiful apartment!
Alessandro was a wonderful host. Speaks English and is more than happy to help with you anything you need. He provided several food and wine items for the kitchen, very generous. The apartment is in an excellent location about a 10 minute walk to the Ponte Vecchio. It is a very quiet street and no night noise. The apartment is well equipped and comfortable. The terrace is lovely and faces the Bardini gardens. Lush and green with lots of birds - it's magical. The kitchen is very small and in need of some upgrades. It's sufficient for small meals, but would be difficult to make a big dinner. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Firenze!

Fantastic Home with Hospitable Host
Out of 6 different rentals on our recent vacation, this VRBO rental was the best of them all- for many reasons. It was impeccably clean- the same level of clean that I keep my home. This made us feel like it was a safe place to relax & unwind after a long day. The home provided plenty of space for our family of 4 with 4 carry-ons & 4 small suitcases. The bus stop was a short walk away (fyi- Florence doesn't have an underground metro/subway) and it was quick to get into center city. The neighborhood felt safe and was in a beautiful area. The shower is a tiny bit bigger than the other the other typical European showers we encountered, so that was nice. There are a few steps before accessing the building's elevator. This wasn't a problem at all for us but is something to keep in mind for those who are unable to go up a few steps (maybe about 6 or 8, estimate?). While our stay was short (2 nights), the home had everything we needed: plenty of linens, towels, bath supplies and even snacks/food. We felt like we were long-lost family whom Alessandro was welcoming back home. He communicated well and promptly before and during our visit and helped with our luggage on checkout day (despite it being early in the morning). Our only regret was that we didn't enjoy the home more during the daytime. It would have been wonderful to relax and enjoy the absolutely beautiful patio/garden/balconies. We would absolutely come back and stay here. Thank you Alessandro!

Perfect Location
The apartment was very clean and nicely decorated. Alessandro was an exceptional host! The location was great with so many sites, shops and restaurants within walking distance. Bustling during the day and peaceful at night. The only glitch we ran into was the check in process as it was electronic through my phone which did not have great service. Other than that 5 stars!

Wunderschöne Wohnung, perfekte Lage und toller Gastgeber
Sollte ich noch mal nach Florenz kommen, werde ich auf jeden Fall wieder dieses Apartment buchen. Es ist wunderschön eingerichtet, alles da was man braucht, die zwei Terrassen mit dem Blick ins Grüne sind einfach nur sagenhaft. Die Wohnung war wirklich sehr sauber und ordentlich. Man ist ganz schnell im Geschehen und wohnt aber trotzdem ruhig. Der Gastgeber war sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Hat uns mit Wein und Snacks versorgt, besser geht es wirklich nicht. Er war jederzeit ansprechbar und hat immer gerne weiter geholfen, wenn es Fragen gab. Er spricht sehr gut Deutsch, was für uns natürlich perfekt war. 😉 Ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt, danke Alessandro!

Amazing 2 week Experience!
First, the host- Alessandro was one of the best hosts I've encountered! Our flight from Paris was delayed getting into Florence until 11pm and Allessandro made sure we had all the info to get into our apartment. Upon arrival, the apart was clean and he had stocked the fridge and left a bottle of wine. A couple of days later he surprised us by leaving fresh/warm pastries for us on the door. The following week, his cleaning crew came in and cleaned the place and again left wine! The day before our departure, he arranged our taxi pickup and even came the next morning to help with our bags...he even bought each of us a small gift. He was always available and quick to reply on Whatsapp. The apartment was just adorable and exactly lile the pictures. The location was perfect and amazing. We averaged between 12 - 15k steps a day and the area was very quiet. 25 minute walk to train and bus stations. There are a couple of restaurants just down the street (and a wonderful sandwich place) and let me tell you, all are amazing. Also, a small market to get fresh fruit/wine/essentials. One street up is a pharmacy, in case you get sick. The ladies in there were so helpful and spoke English. Will definitely go back to stay and would 10000% recommend this host and apartment! Gratzi Allessandro! See you next year...Jennifer! Arivaderci!

Parkside Paradise
Alessandro was a premier host. From a kitchen stocked with necessities and treats to arranging transportation, he made our stay so comfortable. The apartment was perfect for three adults. We were close to attractions yet tucked into a beautiful neighborhood. The outdoor space of the property was a rare treasure. We can’t say enough about the paradise we discovered in Florence.
