About this apartment rental

We are renovating the building with scaffolding only inside the courtyard until approx. May 2025.

The works take place from Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm and sometime on Saurday morning.

The apartment 'Florian' is situated in Piazza del Duomo in the heart of Florence’s historical centre, on the 4th level ( no lift ) of a prestigious XVI century palace that once belonged to the Ghiberti family, one of Florence’s most important historical families, with easy steps well worth the journey.

From October 25 2009, Piazza del Duomo is a pedestrian area with all the advantages that an area like that can offer

Spending time in my apartment is to be accompanied by the shadow of the magnificent dome of Brunelleschi, the grandeur of Giotto’s belltower and the splendour of Vasari’s frescos, in an unforgettable dream that Florence will dream with you and bring you great joy and an even greater desire to return.
Florian directly faces the Duomo, giving you the sensation that you could reach out and touch its magnificent green and white marble facade. The apartment has been completely restored in Florentine style, but with all modern comforts.

Florian is a romantic and welcoming apartment comprising: a cosy living room with a comfortable sofa, a small and fully-equipped kitchen with a balcony that offers a charming view of Florence, a bedroom with two single beds (85 by 200) that can be transformed into a double bed. A small entrance hall with a splendid view of the Duomo and one modern bathroom with shower complete the description of the apartment.

All modern comforts are provided: air conditioning, LCD TV, satellite TV, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave oven, american coffee, WiFI internet dsl no cable, air conditioning, safe, security door and intercom.

This place was unreal. The view of the Duomo is even better in person and honestly never got old. Morning, night, didn’t matter it was always one of those moments where you just stop and take it in.The apartment itself was super clean, comfortable, and just really well put together. Everything felt easy. Great location too. You walk out the door and you are right in the middle of everything, but it still felt calm inside which we really appreciated.Communication was simple and smooth the whole time and we never had to think twice about anything.We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Easily one of our favorite places we have stayed.

This is a lovely spot! Right in the heart of Florence and you can get to anywhere easily. The apartment is exactly as advertised! And was very easy to find and very safe. The bedroom is sound proof so no worries of the outside noises. 10/10 would recommend!

Luca is a superb host. He was punctual and took care of our every need. The apartment is beautiful! And the location and view? Unbelievable.

The property is very close to the duomo, which is nice. It is a 4 th floor walk-up, which he mentioned. He did help carry a bag up the stairs. A taxi cannot reach the apartment, but it is about a half block to the drop off point. The building is under construction, with 2 dusty stairwells to climb. My husband could not breathe, and we had to checkout early. VRBO was not willing to help, but left the issue of a refund up to the owner. We received most of our money for unused nights back. It was a disappointing and time consuming process. My husband is being treated for double pneumonia now.
