Home description
A really charming flat in the historic centre of Florence. Centrally located in one of the oldest streets in Florence, in the Via La Pergola area, near to the Duomo, Piazza Signoria and Santa Croce. Very convenient for sightseeing. Although situated in the heart of Florence, the apartment is very quiet and peaceful. It is located in a delightful city-centre small 'neighbourhood' with its own good, reasonably-priced restaurants, coffee-bars and artisan shops, not far from the open-air food market of Sant'Ambrogio.
The apartment has been restored with immense care, using the finest Tuscan materials, with fine tiles, parquet floors and marble bathroom. It is really well decorated. It is airy and bright, with a small terrace. The beamed entrance hall is set up as a second living-room. The apartment has a really spacious feel - 75 square metres or 805 square feet. It is ideal for 2/3 people. Telephone. Internet access. Really good air-conditioning (included in the price).

The Tuscany region
Stunning art and architecture, great food and wine. Tuscany has everything: historic towns, wonderful countryside.
Florence / Florence City area
Florence is one of the most popular venues in the world and deservedly so. Florence is a lively city, with open-air markets. S. Ambrogio market is a short walk from the apartment. There are numerous theatres and music throughout the year. A trip to Fiesole, in the hills above Florence, is about 20 minutes by bus and well recommended. In the summer, there are several public swimming pools and the beach is 1 hour away (frequent trains); there is skiing in the winter in several locations not far from Florence. We are happy to provide details.
There is an enclosed car-park garage with attendants in the street directly behind the apartment: 25 Euro a day. As an alternative, we suggest the following enclosed car-park near Piazza della Liberta which is a short walk or bus-ride from the apartment:

Guestbook
A delightful home from home, and great to get back to after our days out.
The flat is much bigger than it seems! It is really spacious.
We were amazed - we were not expecting anything like this level of comfort.
Try the coffee bar up the street on the corner - awesome!
A tip: go marketing in the open-air Sant'Ambrogio market for food and veg like we did: better and less crowded than the big market at San Lorenzo, and just around the corner.
Those flights of stairs got us so fit - we worked off all the great meals!
We had a really enjoyable visit to Florence and were extremely happy staying in the flat. It’s certainly very comfortable and in a fabulous location – we would love to stay there again before too long. I’ve already recommended it to several people.
