About this property

The Florian Apartment: The feeling of touching the Duomo

Offer!!!

We are renovating the building with scaffolding until approx. July 2024.

That's why we're offering a discount.

The view of the Cathedral is partial, but you'll stay in a historic Florentine building, in the heart of the Renaissance!

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

Take a look at the photos in the listing!


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 bed (120 by 195), 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.

Incredible location and unforgettable stay.
This property offers an unforgettable experience in Florence, thanks to Luca, the welcoming owner, and its prime location overlooking the cathedral. The unit itself is cozy and fully equipped, perfect for solo travelers or couples. One of the highlights is opening the windows to soak in the magical atmosphere of the street below. Plus, with all the tourist sites within walking distance and an abundance of restaurants nearby, it's an ideal choice for any traveler. And for those who prefer to cook, there's a convenient store just around the corner. Highly recommended for a memorable stay in Florence!

Right in the heart of Florence.
We had the most wonderful stay in this Florence apartment. It is reasonably small but easily & comfortably accommodated is and our 15 year old son. The location could not be better and to wake up and look out over the Duomo will leave lasting memories. A word of warning - you must be prepared to walk up plenty of stairs during your stay here but that is well advised in the property description. If you’re happy to walk up the stairs (it’s good preparation for climbing the dome!), you won’t beat this apartment.

Wonderful!
We loved staying in Luca’s apartment, despite the 87 steps to reach the third floor. The cosy space was just what we needed at the end of an exhilarating, but tiring day in beautiful Firenze. The view and sounds of the city below are memories with us forever. Thankyou Luca. 😊

Just stunning.
Bravo Lucca. Stunning location and a beautiful apartment with everything we could need. A great host who couldn't be more helpful. For our first visit to Florence I could not have asked for more.
