The apartment is located a few steps from Piazza della Signoria, next to Piazza del Duomo, in the historical neighbourhood of Santa Croce.

The area is very well served, with shops, nightspots and restaurants, easily reachable from the main railway station S.M.N. with the bus lines 14-32-33.

Available on request a private parking service at 3min walk from the apartment.

In the vicinity, beyond the famous Piazza della Signoria, there are the Galleria degli Uffizi and the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, where it is possible to see the 'Chantoria' by Luca Della Robbia, the Museum of the Bargello, the majestic Basilica in Piazza S.

The house is located in the very heart of the middle-age city center of Florence. In this area you move around with public transportation or even better on walk. If you prefer to move fast better solution are taxi (expensive though)

I also have the luck to manage another property. It's a villa in the countryside half an hour from of Florence. The house is immersed in a green paradise, in an open and dominant position, on the crest of a hill (406m) above the Arno valley, guaranteeing coolness also during the long Florentine summers.

You can find it under my listing profile.

For both this and the countryside villa listing we apply a special discount if you are booking them during winter.

This apartment is located within walking distance of all the major Florence attractions. In addition, there is a wine window a few doors down, which was an added bonus. There was plenty of space for our group of 9. There are towels, small bars of soap and shampoo packets provided, as well as additional supplies to get you through the first day or so. If you are staying longer, I'd recommend getting toilet paper, trash bags and toiletries from the local store, which is not far. You do have to take the trash down the street and around the corner, but it is not a major inconvenience. The owner was responsive and easy to deal with. The air conditioning, while not overly powerful, keeps the place cool enough to feel inviting after a day of sightseeing; there are also several fans in the property. The stairs can be tough after climbing the bell tower, but again, not a major inconvenience, just something to be aware of. I would stay at the property again-the location is ideal.

I was so hoping this would be amazing but sadly it left us wanting/needing more. For one, there are 5 floors of stairs that you must climb every time you leave the apartment. THERE IS NO ELEVATOR! Also, the neighbors in the building wanted us to be quiet all the time (even during regular hours). The bathroom situation is very deceiving the way they have written the descriptions. There are 3 bathrooms, but only one of them is nice. The second bathroom with a shower was extremely small, the shower door was difficult, and there was MOLD all over the tiles. The bathroom upstairs had a tub, but no shower and the ceiling was extremely low. All the rooms were bare minimum. There were no mirrors anywhere, very little lighting throughout and we asked for more pillows because the ones that were in the apartment were paper thin (which they said they couldn’t get more for us). There is a washer, but no dryer and the washer was filthy and tiny so we ended up having to go to a laundromat. The laundry room was also very dirty and being used as a storage unit. Basic items, such as garbage bags, hand soap, and items to use for cooking were almost nonexistent. I didn’t know that we would have to purchase all this for the space. Overall, I’ve learned my lesson. I’d rather spend more and go to a hotel where I will be accommodated for my family needs. I’ve been let down way too much with VRBO.

We loved the amount of space in the apartment as well as it's incredible location in Florence. 5 full flights of stairs was a bit rough with luggage, but certainly typical for the best locations in Florence.

Very good and spacious. A couple of the beds should be replaced and there was definitely a musty oder. Only downside was a request to remove the trash - and the requested drop off site is not near the premises (no near by collection bins). All-in-all, I would stay here again.

Amazing location. Centrally located to everything. The apartment ia on the 5th floor. No elevator. But after getting luggage in on the first day, we really didn't mind. Please read notes...no extra toiletries or garbage bags, laundry detergent, kitchen cleaning items. We were there for 6 nights and had to go out on day one. Also. Only one set of towels. Additional fee for 2nd set. Washer only. No dryer. But with all that, would choose this location again

We spent almost 6 weeks in this apartment. It is very spacious with 5 bedrooms and a loft bed, 3 bathrooms. It is very central to everything Florence, with some of the city’s best gelato and restaurants nearby. Yes, there are 72 stairs up and 72 stairs down but hey, it’s an old building. Borgo dei Greci is “Village of the Greeks”. Renata was wonderful to help quickly with the few things we needed. We were lucky enough to see several parades go down our street for the Florentine Football games held at Santa Croce. The grocery store is relatively close too. Just a wonderful way to spend some time in Florence. Thanks, Renata! AC went out 4xs in 6 weeks but was easy to fix by resetting AC unit on upper terrace. Hallway carpets need to be cleaned, they take away from all of the great things about this wonderful apartment.
