About this apartment rental

Unique and traditional style 13th century 3 bedroom spacious apartment just next to the Arno and Piazza Santa Croce.

Very quiet and private apartment within the heart of historical Florence; The apartment is located less then 5 minutes walk from Ponte Vecchio and Piazza Signoria, and approximately 10/15 minutes walk to the Duomo.

This first floor apartment is on Corso dei Tinori. A lovely and typical street known for its 12th and 13th century history of tinting wool and silk next to the river and the 'Arte dei Tintori'. There are wonderful bars, restaurants, trattorias, gelato shops and typical caffés surrounding this area.

The apartment has been carefully and traditionally renovated, and has air conditioning and heating in every room. It has a quirky and interesting lay out with original beams, stone exposure, original shutters, antique furnishings and original flooring in places. It’s full of character for a unique stay in the heart of historical Florence.

Travelling to the apartment:

There is no access to this street with a car during the day, however you can again access between 7:30pm to 7:30am (when green light on only) or of a Saturday. If you wish to stay with a car you can park short stay along the Arno in blue spaces, and pay at meter - though I would only recommend this for short stay as it becomes very expensive after first hour, however it is free there from 8pm to 8am.

The nearest garage is on the Street "Garage Tintori" please look online for rates and to book a space with them.

The house can be accessed at all times on that street by bus or taxi - there is a bus stop on the street which can runs bus service no. 23, direction SORGANE)

Santa Maria Novella train station is approximately 15 minute walk: Directions; once you have walked out of the station, turn right on to Via de' Cerretani and walk until you reach Piazza del Duomo. (You can't miss this Piazza!) Walk along Via del Proconsolo and keep straight on until you reach Via dei Leoni. At the junction with Via de Neri turn left, and proceed over the traffic lights at the crossroads with Via de Benci, keep going straight until you finally reach the Corso dei Tintori, No. 23! If you are unsure weather you have arrived at the right door, you will see 'Connaire' listed as a name on one of the bells.

The location of this apartment was absolutely perfect! We were able to walk every where we needed to go, all the main sites were fairly close. We left the city a couple of times and the train station is a doable walk from the apartment. Check in process was a breeze and the apartment looks just like the pictures listed. The Conad City grocery store across the street was so convenient and had everything that we needed. If I am ever back in Florence I would stay at this property again. Also, one of our best meals was right down the street :La Buchetta has wonderful steaks and pastaAnd for dessert Gelateria dei Neri, also very close, had wonderful gelato

6 / 10Average·Apr 2026
Beware - Upon check in we were told that none of the Air conditioner units worked and not to use as the power goes out which is understandable however do not advertise you have air conditioning- remove it from your listing! The photos in this listing are pictured and placed in a manner that does not show the true state of this unit ! The garbage can in kitchen when opened smelled like a dead fish was left inside. Floors were not very clean and there were bread crumbs in kitchen table and under couch. Dust bunnies were everywhere and furniture was in despair - see pics - and not even close to what the listing shows. Main bedroom was ok - back room had broken light and 5 inches on each side of bed and no room to place clothes.One bathroom was good - the back was dirty - The tile was dirty and the shower curtain was moldy and not clean- see pics This property is in a good location
