This original, bright and elegant charmeìing apartment will be the ideal starting point to discover and fully dip in the culture, history and art of our gorgeous ancient town.
The house has 3 wide bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (2 of which ensuite), a large living with a comfortable double sofabed, and can accomodate up to 8 persons.
Located in Via degli Alfani, an old street that links the Sant’Ambrogio and Santa Maria Novella districts, and full of memories of its long past, the apartment overlooks almost entirely an internal courtyard, reason why it preserves absolute peace and quiet, even though it’s in the most lively part of the city center.
Totally restored and returned to new life, the apartment is wide, tastly decorated with elegance and attention to details, creating a perfect mix between ancient and modernity.
Perfect for families’ and friends’ holidays, Sweet Home L’Accademia is equipped with all the comfort which will make your holiday an experience to tell.
Entering the apartment you can immediately feel the welcoming and relaxing atmosphere: the parquet floor, that cover the entire apartment, warms the environment, and the light colors of the furniture, give you a true relaxing sensation, to charge your energies after a day of visits and strolling in the hustle and bustle of the city.
On the right you will find the large and bright living room, furnished with a stylish sofa that easily turns, if needed, in a comfortable double bed to welcome also the biggest groups, TV, coffee table and 2 Louis xv style armchairs, brought back to new beauty by the expert hand of the owner, who customized all the rooms with her own paintings and mirrors.
Next to the living room, the luminous kitchen-dinner room overlooking Via degli Alfani, is a mix of style and sobriety, furnished with a beautiful crystal table, chairs and a modern kitchenette equipped with all you may need to prepare and taste peacefully your breakfast, lunch and dinner everytime you wish (oven, microwave, dish washer, moka, kettle etc.)
From the entrance, a bright hall leads to the sleeping area: on the right there is the first double bedroom with a little desk and wide windows overlooking an inner court.
Opposite the first bedroom there is the master bathroom with elegant marble tiles and a wide shower.
At the end of the hall on the right you will find another double bedroom with ensuite bathroom and on the left another room with twinbeds, that if needed turn into a double one, and a complete bathroom ensuite.

Elegant paintings and mirrors enrich the walls of the entire apartment, creating colourful notes all around.

We love the location. It was convenient to all the key sites in Florence. The check-in process was easy and smooth and our host was very helpful prior to our arrival. The unit is very clean and well equipped. We love the fact that the bedrooms and bathrooms were all on the back side of the apartment, so there was little or no noise. We would definitely stay there again on our next trip to Florence.

Overall this home was great. Short walk to most attractions in Florence. It was perfect for our family as we each had a bedroom and bathroom. The team at Flo was very helpful and always responded immediately to any questions we had. The home was spacious. We were there in the middle of summer and the air conditioning worked throughout the home. The only issue we had is a shower in one of the bathrooms that leaked to the underneath tenants bathroom that caused us not to use the shower for a day while the owners fixed the problem. For older couples be aware that you have to climb up 36 steps to get to the home and it was difficult when carrying our luggage. I would definitely stay again if the opportunity arises and would recommend others to stay. Thanks for sharing your home with us. Florence is such a beautiful city with so much to do and plenty of places to eat and drink.

My adult children and I stayed in this very well appointed apartment for 3 nights. The location was perfect (around the corner from the David). Easy walking to everything we wanted to do and see in Florence. The apartment layout was great for our group. We loved ending our days around the kitchen table playing cards, laughing and recapping the memories we made that day. Isn't that was travel is really about? It is described in other reviews, but the stairs up to the apartment are quite steep, but only two flights and worth the effort!

We were very happy with our apartment in Florence. The location was great, 100 feet from the Academia with the David sculpture, and the Duomo in the center of town. Our adult children had European compatibale smart phones, but as Grandparents we didnt have the right phones, so the checkin at the door of the apartment could have been a problem since they use Vikey mobile app. So we cleared passports before we left the US and Flo Apartments would have had someone meet us to get inbif needed, but our kids phones worked with the electronic access app and Flo folks dropped off a key the next day for the street level door. The Flo folks were very responsive and even helped us with a Rome apartment problem we had and Flo could have just said sorry but they didnt do that. Thanks to Barbara at Flo we got our problem worked out. VRBO agents on the other hand were terrible! It took 6 calls to them and 4.5 hours of talking and calling to get them to follow their own policy on not paying cash directly to an owner, but to make all payments to VRBO, and to get the correct payments credited properly. So great job Flo, and shame on you VRBO.

This place was amazing! Perfect location, quiet at night but so close to everything in the city, walking everywhere was a breeze from the apartments location. The beds were great and everything was super clean. My credit card kept getting denied when the host tried to run it and she was so patient with us as we were having trouble getting our bank to accept the charge. I would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend!

This apartment was perfect! Having the space for a group of 6 adult sized individuals it was perfect! Both in bed space and bathrooms. Location was ideal, close to many attractions but also outside the main tourist zone. The communication and ease of access to the property was such a blessing amid the chaos of travel and details. Only note about the property was that there were not screens on windows and even in winter when we opened the windows to get a bit of fresh air we were inundated with mosquitos. Covered in bites wasn't exactly the souvenir we were hoping for! :) But overall this location was great! would absolutely recommend, but suggest bringing some mosquito spray.

Our family of 5 stayed here for 3 nights near Christmas. The apartment is as advertised, was very clean with high end bathroom and kitchen furnishings and tasteful decor throughout. The beds were comfortable, rooms had lots of natural light, and the common area is quite large - so large that it could probably hold another couch or a few more comfortable chairs, which could be a nice addition. The location is also great, less than a minute from the Academia Gallery and convenient walking distance to most other notable sites in Florence. We were able to check ourselves in and the owners even let us access the apartment early once their cleaners were finished. We had no problems during our stay but the owners were easily accessible via WhatsApp. Overall, this was a great place to stay! A few things to note. The apartment is on the second floor and the 3 flights of steps up from the street are very steep, which were difficult to climb for 1 member of our party who is older. Also, we visited in December and although there were multiple radiators, the apartment tended to be cold (we were wrapping ourselves in our blankets even during the day) but we are from Phoenix which is obviously a warmer climate.
