Our opinion:
This apartment is particularly recommended for groups or families who truly want to experience historic Florence without sacrificing modern comfort. Even from the streets below, you can feel the atmosphere of a city center that was the cradle of the Renaissance and the center of the world! The apartment, with its vintage photographs, evokes scenes of life through the 1900s, when the Italian "Bella Vita" enchanted the world.
The apartment is located on an upper floor which provides excellent lighting but has to be reached by 79 steps so its best suited for guests who don’t mind a bit of climbing.
The apartment's central location makes it easy to explore Florence's historic center on foot.
Public transportation is plentiful and conveniently located nearby, making it easy to get around.
The closest bus stop is "Galleria degli Uffizi," about a 2-minute walk away; nearby bus lines include C1, C3, 23, C4, and C2.

You couldn't ask for a more central location: right between Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi Museum, and next to the Piazza della Signoria. The entire neighborhood exudes Renaissance history, particularly the street where the apartment is located. It was built in the early Middle Ages and later took its name from the Lamberteschi family, a powerful Ghibelline family. At the end of World War II, part of the street was blown up by the retreating Germans, intent on blocking access to the Ponte Vecchio with rubble. On the night of May 27, 1993, the street suffered severe damage once again, this time in the section nearest the Uffizi, when the Mafia (Cosa Nostra) carried out the attack on Via dei Georgofili, detonating a car bomb at the corner with this street. The Albero della Pace (Tree of Peace), an olive‑tree monument, is just steps away from the apartment and was erected as a memorial of this bombing.
The apartment is located between Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi Gallery, just next to the Piazza della Signoria, in the most authentic and charming heart of historic Florence.
In less than a minute's walk, you can reach the Uffizi Gallery, Palazzo Vecchio, and Piazza della Repubblica, and stroll along the Lungarno, admiring the city from one of its most iconic views.
This neighborhood, the cradle of Florentine art and history, has been a symbol of Renaissance grandeur for centuries. Every stone tells a fragment of the past: the goldsmiths' shops on the Ponte Vecchio, still in business today, the noble palaces overlooking the Arno, and the lively squares where business, art, and politics once intertwined.
There's no shortage of authentic experiences: in the alleys surrounding the apartment, you'll find typical osterias, historic trattorias, and signature cafés, where you can savor traditional Tuscan dishes and soak up the lively and refined atmosphere of Florence.
Located nearby are also pharmacies, a Carrefour supermarket, and a variety of other shops which can cater to your necessities.
Those who stay in this area will enjoy an immersive experience, surrounded by the artistic wonders and timeless charm of the city, combining culture, elegance, and history.

You can go directly to the apartment to unload your luggage and then, within 3 hours of your first entry into the ZTL, go to the garage, which will place your license plate on the "white list" (for a fee of €1.00) for regular access without fines. Please note that the apartment is in a pedestrian zone, so it's not possible to drive right up to the apartment door, so it will require a 2-minute walk.
