Description
In the vibrant district of S.Ambrogio you will find two apartments:
- A two-room apartment, Apartment A, consisting of a double bedroom, living room with sofa bed, kitchen and bathroom, for a total of 4 beds
- A three-room apartment, Apartment B consisting of a double bedroom, living room with sofa bed, kitchen and two bathrooms, for a total of 4 beds.
The two apartments can also be booked by the same family or group of friends, as they are on the same floor and can be made communicating, for a total of 8 guests.
The Neighborhood:
The area is very pleasant. One of the few in the center still inhabited and frequented by the Florentines. In the morning, the colorful Sant'Ambrogio market awaits you with its stalls of fruit, vegetables, clothes… between a coffee - there are many bars - and a baker, you can experience the authentic Florentine air. Then you can walk to Santa Croce, the Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, Piazza Duomo and all the main attractions of the city.
In the evening, returning to the apartment you will be spoiled for choice on where to dine among restaurants, bistros, trattorias and ethnic food. And the prices are much lower than in other areas.
It is ideal for those arriving by car thanks to the large covered parking, with which we have an agreement.

Some reviews about this apartment.
Emanuele è stato molto reattivo e alla mano con il check-in e il check-out
Emanuele è stato molto reattivo e alla mano con il check-in e il check-out. Eravamo un gruppo di 8 persone e abbiamo apprezzato molto questo appartamento ben arredato con tutto il necessario per trascorrere un paio di notti a Firenze. L'aria condizionata è un grande vantaggio!
External services
External breakfast
External breakfast at an artisan company.
Distance: 100mt from the apartment.
One of the best bars in Florence has recently opened very close to the apartment. The owner of this place has been world coffee champion several times. I love this place!
Do you think I could fail to make a deal with them for my beloved guests?
So I made an agreement with them!
3 types of breakfast: Simple, medium and abundant, you choose which one you prefer.
Guida privata
Private guide
Fortunately I have lived in Florence for a very long time.
Over time I have had the opportunity to collaborate with many guides (especially when I worked for hotels as a marketing consultant).
From my experience I have selected two specialized guides:
Elisa -> Extremely funny girl.
Going around with her means laughing all the time. She combines an immense knowledge of all the anecdotes (or gossip as she calls them) of all the artists and all corners of Florence.
Chiara -> Maremmana of origin has lived in Florence for 20 years! She is a smart girl who has made her passions her specialization.
She proposes thematic tours:
Wine - Walk around Florence with stops in wine bars.
Romantic - Florence in the most romantic places with a violinist who plays serenades and ditties for you (lasts about 2 hours but is highly emotional)

Auto Bus (from Santa Maria Novella station)
The Firenze Santa Maria Novella station is the main hub of all the Florence traffic system.
For this reason it is very likely that if you return a plane or a train (there is a second station called Firenze Campo Marte), it is still almost sure that you will pass in front of the Santa Maria Novella station.
Ascent: In front of the station, Piazza Adua.
Bus stop n ° : The bus stop is n ° 1834

From this stop take bus 6 or 14 (sometimes there is also a letter after the number eg 6a or 6b, do not take this into account)
Exit Stop: Via Niccolini, altezza n° 35.
N° stops: 7
Travel time by bus: about 15min.
Walking time: Once you get off, walk along Via Carducci until you reach piazza Sant'Ambrogio.
Then continue along via dei Macci up to number 59.
Next to the door is the Emporio Rock shop and the antique bookshop carpenter WoodArt.
Note: Bus / Tram Ticket.
Bus and Tram share the same ATAF ticket (Ataf = name of the transport company) which costs about 1.20 euros for 90 minutes.
You can buy it at a tobacconist's or newsagent's before boarding or with your mobile phone, by sending a text message to the number 4880105 and writing the word ATAF. On some buses it is also possible to pay by credit card.
The cost of the ticket is slightly higher than 1.50 euros (+ any commissions from your operator).
