About the home

Our apartments( I'm the owner of the apt ref 7395 too) are situated on the 3rd floor in a small building on a silent and narrow street between the river Arno and Tornabuoni street, a few steps from Ponte Vecchio and Uffizi Gallery, very close to all shops, banks and pharmacies.
The 2 properties were indeed 1 big property that we have divided 10 years ago.
It was my grandparents apartment...my grandfather won the apartment playing the lottery in 1960.
They have been living there until their death, when my parents and I decided to restore and divide in 2 smaller apartments.
Needless to say that the two apartments are for me something very special...a place where I grew up and loved.
we have restored them with love and passion, taking care to preserve the rustic tuscan look....the greater part of the furniture belonged to my grandparents.. The Dante and Beatrice apartments are a little piece of Florence in Florence. despite the 3rd floor you are really in the centre of everything!
The furniture, the decorations, the original ceilings...everything speaks about the rustic and tuscan feeling.
I think that beyond visiting a place you have above all to live it...and your holiday apartment has to give you an emotion when you enter in.
It has to make you feel at home away home. That's what I try to convey throught my 2 littles "jewels"!
The 21897 has been recently restored by us ourselves according to the rustic Tuscan taste. The apartmentis composed by a lovely bedroom (twin or double), a large and sunny Tuscan kitchen, a living room with a tv corner, a mezzanine with a double sofa bed, and a bathroom (with shower). It can accommodate 2-5 people.

The Tuscany / Firenze Province region

Tuscany is a charmed land, equally blessed by the genius of man and nature, and often by the combined efforts of both. Think of the vineyards: rows of baby green vines that manage somehow to march in arrow-straight formation up the gently rolling hillsides, bounded by single files of darker green cypress trees, snaking sandy roads leading to rust-coloured farmhouses and moss-coated castles, symmetrically rounded hilltops surmounted by towns so homogeneous as to seem one single building. Every inch of land has been sculpted, first by the elements and then by generations of inhabitants whose goals were always twofold: make the land produce as much as possible, make the land as beautiful as possible. Tuscany enchants us today because it holds together as a region, from the tiniest hamlet to Florence the Magnificent. For the living proof, take a short walk one day along the sides of the Belvedere in Florence: you will leave behind the traffic and suddenly find yourself strolling down quiet lanes bounded by tall stone walls, cypress trees and creamy-coloured villas. You could be anywhere in Tuscany, and we dare you not to fantasize about living here.

The Florence / Central Florence area

The cultural and historical impact of Florence (or Firenze) is overwhelming. Close up, however, the city is one of Italy's most atmospheric and pleasant, retaining a strong resemblance to the small late-medieval centre that contributed so much to the cultural and political development of Europe.

Its striking buildings, formidable galleries and treasure-crammed churches attest to the Florentine love of display. Even long after it had set on the political and economic horizon, Florence upheld its elegant appearance: its skyline, all russet rooftops and lofty domes, is indeed picturesque.

“Fabulous Tuscan retreat” Beautifully laid out in the eves of a typical Florentine building, the Dante apartment is delightful. Elena Colivicchi is the perfect host, her English is wonderful and the welcome as warm as you could hope for. Booking and arranging the stay was easy and straightforward, Elena was happy to meet us at a time that suited, and the apartment was ready and waiting. She gave us a wonderful introduction to the city and even recommended restaurants and museums. (Follow her recommendations, they were all great). Clean, bright, airy, this homely apartment is very well stocked with everything we needed for four days stay in Florence - the washing machine and air-con in particular made the stay even our easier. The apartment is perfectly situated a few minutes walk from everything in the city, but on a side street quiet enough for us to get away from the hussle and bussle during the day and to sleep soundly every night. The Dante apartment felt like a home from home, yet wonderfully Florentine. Great value for money, wonderfully welcoming and a perfect retreat in the heart of this fabulous city. We didn't want to leave and will definitely be back.

Guestbook for Lovely apartment in Florence

Delightful apartment tastefully decorated and furnished with rustic Tuscan antique furniture. Great location, close to everything but away from the tourist scrum in a quiet side street. Lots of good restaurants nearby, so no need to venture far after a hard day's sightseeing! Elena is the perfect host, she speaks good English and was always friendly and helpful in her dealings with us’ - Liz H.- London

‘Very clean, fully equipped, and unique apartment. The location is excellent, within walking distance to the sights. The grocery store and the cafe bar in the street are highly recommended. Elena was very helpful and patient during all the long correspondent we ran prior to our arrival, and during our stay’ - Ryan - USA

‘Everything was perfect. The flat's location cannot be better than it is in order to visit the entire wonderful monument. I would like to highlight that the owner is a very pleasant woman as most of the Italian. Thank you very much for these nice holidays’ - Fabrice
