Little penthouse with amazing view over the historical center.

The small attic offers an enchanting 180 ° view over the historic center of Florence. It is located a few minutes from Santa Maria Novella station, and is well connected to the airport and public transport in the city, and is located in a lively neighborhood with many shops and restaurants.

The house is a unique space consisting of:
- the living / sleeping area where the super king size double bed (200x200cm) and the double sofa bed are located;
- the kitchen area, equipped with induction hob, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, various utensils;
- the comfortable bathroom with shower, as well as of course the sink, toilet and bidet.

From the large sunny windows you can see the Duomo, the Medici Chapels, the Palazzo Vecchio, and also San Miniato and Piazzale Michelangelo, practically the entire historic center.

Finally, the large terrace completes the property: a 50 m² space where you can relax, have meals or drink a good glass of wine, admiring the spectacular 180 ° view of its center of Florence and its millenary beauty .

A very comfortable and modern apartment overlooking Florence!

We loved staying here! It was an easy walk to Florence's city center, and nice to be in one of the neighborhoods. Some amazing food nearby (especially Kagura) and some easy locations for groceries. If we stay in Florence again, I'm going to see if this apartment is available.

Beautiful view within walking distance of city center

We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment. It was well furnished, the bed was super comfortable and the outdoor area was fantastic. The city center is an easy 20 minute walk, but the apartment itself is situated in a nice neighborhood with shops, restaurants, etc.. Would definitely stay here if we visit Florence again.

Beautiful little penthouse

We had a wonderful stay here! The penthouse is all updated and cleaned. It has a beautiful view of the city from the terrace. We were also close to some shops and restaurants, so it was very convenient, as well. It is easy to get to from the train station, and the check in process was smooth. We would absolutely stay here again!

Wonderful apartment with a great rooftop patio. Very convenient to transportation(tram is just down the block that takes you to aor port/ city center/train station) and local food/shops. Host was extremely good at communicating with us in helping us get situated. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice place just outside of the city center. I will stay again if we make it back here someday.

Spacious room with sofa and seating, full kitchen, and amazing terrace overlooking Florence. Take the time to read the hosts notes on restaurants locally and other tips for visiting the area. We spent most of the time on the terrace when we were there, a lovely view of the city and the surrounding areas. Very easy communication with the host - Enjoy!

Great little appointment

A little hiccup at check in that was partly my fault. An absolute perfect location to stay when visiting Florence and surrounding areas. Three tram stops to the centre of town and some lovely small restaurants about 500m away. It’s good to get out of town at the end of the day, sit on the terrace in the sun and enjoy a drink, then a short walk to a restaurant. We particularly liked the Cuban and the Pizza place along the road opposite the front door. All in all a perfect place for us.

A different experience in Florence away from city center

The penthouse is a lovely place outside city center. We enjoyed taking the tram and the corner bar for our coffee breaks. Great view and clean. We could have stayed longer and cooked and enjoyed the terrace but we were short on time. I had a hard time communicating with the owner in the VRBO site on my phone in italy. I would receive a message and it was blank when I wanted to respond, which was frustrating. A bit expensive in my opinion since nothing was included in the price for 2 adults and one minor.
