- About The Experience
-
This one-bedroom apartment is located just down the street from Florence’s famed Duomo. For a couple looking to be within walking distance of everything from restaurants to shops to the best sights of the city, this holiday accommodation is the place.
- Location Description
-
The apartment is located in the center of Florence and is within walking distance of art galleries, museums, designer shops, restaurants, markets, and cafes. A rich history that has led to being one of the most culturally significant cities in Europe, Florence is full of life and places to see such as the Duomo, the Uffizi, Piazza Santa Croce, and the Accademia Gallery. The bus and train station are about a 15-minute walk away where you can easily take a bus to Siena and San Gimignano, or a train to Lucca and Pisa.
Nearby Attractions: The area around the Basilica di Santa Maria dei Fiore, commonly referred to as The “Duomo,” is considered the historic center of the city. From here it is possible to walk north to the San Lorenzo Church, the San Lorenzo outdoor market (where you can find all manner of clothing, shoes and bags,) as well as the not-to-be-missed Mercado Centrale, with its mouthwatering displays of food items. West and north is the train station and the Santa Maris Novella Church. While in this area, it is worthwhile to visit the Officina di Santa Maria Novella… the potpourri perfume will guide you. To the south are the Piazza della Signoria, the political center of Renaissance, the Uffizi Gallery, the Orsanmichele Church, the Casa di Dante, the Badia Fiorentina, and the Ponte Vecchio. Along the way are shops galore! One very interesting place is visit that is southwest of the Duomo, is the Palazzo Davanzati, a beautiful home with period furnishings, originally built in the 14th century. After years of renovation, it is finally open!

Customer Reviews
Overall:
Nice apartment in perfect location. Easy access to sightseeing, Duomo, shopping, busline and train station, restaurants, medical facility... I loved our stay at this apartment. The other tenants in the building were friendly, too. Never got lost. Thus was a perfect central location with every amenity! Able to walk to anywhere we wanted to go!
Enjoyed Most:
Centralized location and homelike atmosphere!
Enjoyed Least:
The odd little tiny elevator, although happy to have had one.
Surrounding Area:
Close to everything! Couldn't get lost if you tried! Friendly neighborhood. Safe!
Tips or Restaurants:
Believe it or not there's a wonderful Irish Pub just around the corner. Also, Boca Luca is about a mile, walking distance, and absolutely wonderful....must have reservations, but well worth it!
Directions:
When we first arrived we got a cab, and found out later it had been a waste of money as we could easily have walked from the train station to the apartment. Get a street map before you go to Florence. We used GPS, but found the street maps to be better!
Check In Out:
We weren't able to phone a cab the day we left as they didn't answer or when they did they'd hang up... So, we started walking to the train station but were able to hail a cab a block from the apartment with no problem--cabbies everywhere.

Overall:
The location was great. The contact person met us right on time. The air conditioning was great and much needed.
Enjoyed Most:
This location was ideal as it was just minutes walking to the Duomo and the Ufizzi Gallery.
Enjoyed Least:
The elevator is SMALL but it sure beats walking up and down the steps.
Surrounding Area:
What can a person say other than how wonderful and charming Florence, Italy is.
