About this property

At the Heart of Florence with Private Garden and Parking

This charming and unique apartment sets on the ground floor of a historic building right at Florence's Historic Center. It is strategically situated just 5 minutes walk from Piazza Santa Croce, and 15 minutes walk from Piazza Signoria and The Ufizzi.

This accommodation has been restored (last renovation on november 2016) and converted into an adorable apartment, very well furnished and with modern facilities. The highlight is its private, sunny garden with dining table for 'al fresco' meals. Private parking is also available.

There is a cosy living room , dining room at a veranda facing the garden, well equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook a delicious Tuscan meal, a master double room with fresco ceiling with in suite bathroom, a double bedroom with 2 single beds, a studio with 2 single beds plus one bathroom with shower. All bathrooms are made with Carrara marble.

The market of Santo Ambrogio , the most characteristic food market in Florence is only at 5 minutes walk. It is a nice way to wake up in the morning, have a lazy breakfast with a true cappuccino or espresso and take a tour around fresh and exquisite season vegetables and fruits or local cheese just smelling the flower's newest aromas.

All around, there are many restaurants and bars where local Fiorentini go for a quick coffee, lunch and dinner meals, with a vast selection of places running from wine bars, wooden oven pizzerias, local trattorie and famous restaurants.

From there, you can also rent bikes to visit Florence everywhere you want to go!

The famous FLEA MARKET of Florence is located in Piazza dei Ciompi at only 10 minutes walk from the apartment. It opens every day from 9 to 19.30. If you're lucky enough to go there on the last Sunday of every month, the stalls extend into the surrounding streets. Here you can find furniture and objects from the past, prints, coins and jewellery. It's worth a trip if only to get insights on Italy's past through the artifacts displayed in these cluttered stalls.


I live close by and available 24/7.

Great stay!
We enjoyed everything about our stay at this property. Christina was super helpful at check in and the apartment was an easy walk from everything we wanted to do in Florence. It was great to be able to do laundry as we traveled and Christina’s recommendations helped us get to know the neighborhood.

Fantastic property
Christina met us upon arrival and explained everything completely. The property was as described and wonderful for a family of 5 guests. Location was great and easy to find and we walked everywhere, except to the Airport. She left a booklet with lots of helpful info on things to do and where to eat, etc.I have stayed in Florence a dozen times always in Hotels and this was a real treat. Thank you Christina for being a wonderful Host, Jim

Wonderful visit to Florence!
We had a great stay! Christina is a terrific hostess who met us at the property and was responsive throughout our visit, including a recommendation for a wine tour in Tuscany. An easy walk to nearby groceries and an open air market plus a well equipped kitchen made meal prep a breeze. and the apartment is a 10-15 minute walk to many Florence attractions. Highly recommended!

Great spot - great neighborhood
Florence was a hit and the Santa Croce Neighborhood is welcoming and generous! Some of our favorites were Ghibellina forno pasticceria, Caffetteria del Vecchio Mercato at the Mercato di Sant’Ambrogio, the bar Le Murate Caffè Letterario across the way has cocktails live music and events. We love this place and Christina was a wonderful host!

Home in Florence
We had a lovely stay at Christina's lovely apartment. It had everything we needed and was a lovely respite after playing tourist all day. Christina met me when I arrived and showed me around the apartment. It is located close to the Santa Croce basilica and an easy walk into the historic area and a more local area which we enjoyed. I would be delighted to stay here again.

Beautiful Apartment!
We had three generations staying in Christina’s beautiful apartment. Unlike so many places, the reality exceeded the pictures. What a great place! Christina was a warm and welcoming host who met us and took the time to explain all of the features of the apartment. The location is an easy walk to the duomo, Ponte Vecchio and everything else we wanted to see. We’ll be back!

Beautiful property in a perfect location
Christina's house is beautiful and well furnished. We stayed there a week with 4 adults and 2 young kids.The backyard/parking was perfect to have a late diner after putting the kids to sleep. The location is great, it's a walking distance of most of the attraction. Only downside with the house is the wifi, it was unusable for most of our stay.
