FLORENCE HISTORIC CENTER, APARTMENT WITH PRIVATE COURTYARD, WI-FI and AC

You will be welcome in our lovely and comfortable apartment situated in the heart of Florence! This is a fantastic location, just a few hundred meters from the Cathedral, the Accademia Gallery, the Medician Chapels, the S. Marco Museum, S. Maria Novella Church.
Most of the city's amenities and attractions are within easy walking distance. The famous San Lorenzo Market, with its typical Florentine atmosphere and the “Fortezza da Basso" centre of exposure are very close (5 minutes on foot). You can reach every place of interest on foot. The apartment is located in a beautiful typical quiet street (no traffic noise) at the ground floor of a XVIII° sec. building.
It is made up of: a small living-room with a sofa , a well equipped kitchen (kettle is provided), a double bed bedroom, a second bedroom (2 beds), a bathroom with shower/bath, Wc, bidet & wash-basin, a second small bathroom with Wc and wash-basin.
In the second bedroom there is a single comfortable bed (80x190 cm), a wardrobe and a small desk. There is also a mezzanine with a single mattress bed above the wooden floor. There is a ladder to climb over so this last solution of the mezzanine is suitable for young people.
The two bedrooms, the living-room and the kitchen open to a charming flowered courtyard (40 sqm) for the only use of our guests. The whole apartment faces the inner private courtyard and not the street so during the night there is no traffic noise even if the street is not busy. Please, note that the courtyard is exclusive for our guests.
The apartment is tastefully furnished and it has been recently fully restored.

FREE INTERNET WI-FI and Smart TV, AC

THE NATURAL AIR-CONDITIONING IN OLD TOWN:
Only who lived in an historical centre can know: thanks to the old building technique, walls are massive and thick; this makes indoor temperature spontaneously fresh, even in the hottest summer days.
For the most demanding customers, however, we have equipped the apartment with A/C in the bedrooms and in the living room only from half June to half September..
Please note that during the night the air conditioning will be turned off from 11:20 pm to 8am each night per condominium regulation to avoid noise in the courtyard. Mobile fans may be turned on during the night.
With this system the apartment is perfectly cool even at night.

Being the apartment on the ground floor it is easy and comfortable to carry your luggage in. The location of the apartment allows our guests to come back home and having a break during the day, and sightseeing later... without taking any bus or taxi.
Arriving by train our guests can reach our apartment from the S.M. Novella railway station easily on foot (15 minutes) without taking any cab or bus, if they wish.
From SM Novella railway station our guests can get buses or train to easily reach (and without driving) all the most important towns of art in Tuscany (Siena, Lucca, Pisa, Arezzo).
Our apartment is ideally located, close to everything but in a very convenient and safe area away from the crowds! Restaurants, bank, pharmacy, bike rentals, every kind of shops are just close to our apartment. Carrefour Express supermarket few steps from the apartment.
Bike, scooter and car rental's 150 meters far from the apartment.

KINDLY, NOTE:.
We provide bed and bath linen (included in the price) on arrival but extra change is charged 20 € per person.

If you are 2 people and require to sleep in different beds kindly let me know it in advance.

Check in from 3:30 pm until 8.00 pm.
Check out by 10.30 am on departing day

Lovely place and very convenient
Lovely place, very convenient location and close to all the major sites. It's on the ground floor, particularly helpful since we had a stroller. Also on the quieter side of town which is a plus when you have a small child.

Perfect location
Rosy’s apartment was a short walk to the Duomo and central market. It was clean, provided AC (which is a rarity), had all the kitchen utensils you will need and was a stones throw from a grocery store and beautiful park. Would love to stay here on our return trip.

Florence
First off you 100% CAN take a taxi to this location! The owner will suggest walking but it is a long walk with luggage get a taxi! Second bring a blanket there are none not even a comforter on the bed. Third the cleanliness was subpar. Hair that did not belong to us was everywhere and we saw the world’s largest roach. I’d recommend another location

Peaceful, spacious flat with old world charm in a great location
We loved our stay at Rosy's apartment in Florence. The location is in the old city, walking distance from all the major sights. It's in a real neighborhood, however, and is peaceful and quiet. We had plenty of room for our family of four and could easily have included another person. The bathroom is quite large and modern and the kitchen very well equipped. The relaxing courtyard was an added bonus that we enjoyed for morning coffee and evening wine.

Nice Appartment
It is a 5 minutes walk to San Lorenzo and 10 minutes to the train station or the dome. The road is quiet. The second bedroom has one bed in the ground floor and a double in the attic accessable through a ladder. The is spacious and the patio is really nice. Everything is clean and Rosy is a very nice host.

Great apartment in Florence!
We stayed in March 2022. Rosy is an outstanding host, very responsive to queries and questions. The listing is accurate. The apartment is on the ground floor so easy access and very safe. Has its own patio area which is private. It is only a 15 minute walk from the train station and a 10 minute casual stroll from the Duomo and major sites. It is in a quiet area which is very nice, away from the crowded tourist areas. Check in was very easy, her associate Marco met us at the apartment so no going somewhere else to pick up the keys! Place is very clean, kitchen is well stocked. The apartment is very spacious especially considering this is in an old European building. We also rented the second bedroom which our daughter used. There is room for up to 3 people to sleep since the second room has a loft. The master bedroom is large and roomy, bed was very comfortable. I would highly recommend the apartment for anyone wanted to visit Florence and not stay in the busy areas of town!

Characterful apartment in great location
We have just returned from a wonderful week staying in this delightful, clean apartment. Rosy gave us a very warm welcome and made sure we had everything we could possibly need. There was plenty of constant hot water and a proper bath tub (not just a shower) and a good supply of bath towels. Everything worked well in the apartment, including the central heating. There is a gorgeous little private courtyard - although we didn’t use this because it was November! - but it was very pleasant to look at from the inside! The apartment is in a perfect position for visiting Florence on foot. We were only a few minutes walk from many of the main sites, such as the Accademia, the Duomo, and San Lorenzo. And there was an abundance of great restaurants in the area. We ate extremely well each evening and all the Italians we met were very friendly and hospitable. The weather was pretty good in November with a daytime maximum of between 17 and 19 degrees and sunny most days. All in all a great experience and we could have easily stayed another week. Our warmest thanks to dear Rossella. Anne & Mark

Wonderful week in Rosy’s apartment
We spent a wonderful week in Rosy’s apartment which is perfectly located, clean, nicely furnished and decorated and had everything we needed. Great location in a quiet street, near the train station and bus lines (about 10-15 minutes walk) and all the major monuments. We felt very comfortable walking at all times of day and night to and from the apartment. The sofa bed in the living-room has a comfortable matress and we appreciated it very much The neighborhood is safe, really cute and within walking distance to everything in Florence. There are restaurants and a small supermarket very close.The apartment is close to everything but in a very quiet area away from the crowds! We were made to feel at home from the moment we arrived in Florence. The nice courtyard was a great bonus for beginning and ending each day. We stayed in the apartment in August but the apartment was fresh and we felt comfortable anytime just using the fans in the rooms. The walls of the apartment are massive and thick and this makes indoor temperature spontaneously fresh. Rosy was very kind and provided detailed instructions as well as a helpful booklet about the apartment.

Apparemment très agréable
L'appartement est très agréable, la cour très sympa avec les plantes. Emplacement au calme mais proche des lieux de visite, 10 à 15 mn à pied. Florence est une belle ville, la Galerie des Offices à ne pas manquer, mais les personnes aux guichets des musées pas toujours sympa. Un conseil, visiter Sienne, de préférence avec un guide pour se faire expliquer l'histoire du palio, puis voir les fresques magnifiques dans la cathédrale.

Sehr schöne Ferienwohnung mit Flair
Eine gut durchdachte und gut ausgestattete Ferienwohnung in einer zentralen Lage mit großem individuellem "italienischem Flair". Wir haben sehr gemütliche Abende mit gemeinsamen Kochen und Spielen verbracht. Leider war das Wetter zu kalt, um im idyllischen Innenhof sitzen zu können. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Appartement idéal pour visiter Florence
L'appartement est conforme à la description du site et très fonctionnel. Il est un peu sombre. Le jardin est agréable quand un voisin au dessus ne regarde pas sa télévision avec la fenêtre ouverte. Ces 2 inconvénients sont compensés par la proximité de la location du centre (15mn du Duomo) et de la gare de Santa Novella (10mn) où arrive la navette de l'aéroport et le départ des bus pour les visites de Sienne ou de Pise. Le petit supermarché Carrefour à 50m est très pratique avec des horaires très larges tous les jours. Accueil sympathique de la propriétaire.

Such an Italian experience in the heart of Firenze
Florence is amazing and so is Rosy and her apartment! A very well appointed and well located apartment - we had a very comfortable stay and it was great to be within walking distance to everything. Although it's in the centre of Florence it is quiet and peaceful. The apartment is well equipped and the courtyard is cool and private. Feels bigger than it in looks in the photos and the decor was so adorable. The apartment was very clean. The courtyard was very beautiful with lots of lovely pots to look at.
