Situated in the atmosphere of ancient Florence, the 13th century apartment enjoys a privileged position away from the noise of the city and a stone's throw from Ponte Vecchio and Piazza della Signoria, both within walking distance.
Plunged in the atmospheres of ancient Florence, realized in a recently refurbished IV Century noble Mansion, the Fourteenth Century House enjoys a superb and privileged location in the heart of San Niccolò.
The flat is located at the foot of Piazzale Michelangiolo.
The apartment is located on the ground floor with a private courtyard where the stone atrium leads to the entrance hall.
The apartment is equipped with :

Upon your arrival, you will find to welcome you everything you need for breakfast (packaged quality products) as well as oil, spices, salt, etc.
The apartment does not need any air conditioning because it is pleasantly cool in summer.

Wonderful welcome to a beautiful city!

We had an amazing stay at Monica’s place. She is very welcoming and accommodating. She helped us find free parking nearby. Her space is warm and joyful and so is she. We were able to relax in her garden and felt spoiled with snacks and drinks.

Incredible gem of a spot!

Our stay at Monica’s Turtle House was special from the moment I booked it through VRBO. Monica was so quick to respond to my questions and greeted us in person at the door with a warm embrace! The apartment was spotlessly clean and so adorable. It was an ideal location to walk to all the special sights of Florence. Amazing!

Great stay in Florence

We had a great 3-night stay in this apartment! The garden and courtyard are very charming and provide a peaceful getaway from packed sight-seeing days. Everything was clean and looked just as pictured. The location is perfect and we loved crossing the bridge everyday with gorgeous views to get across the river. Monica provided excellent communication and was a great host - welcoming us upon our arrival, providing coffee, snacks, and wine for us, and helping to arrange our taxi for our departure. Was truly a great place to stay!

Amazing stay at the Turtle House!

We had a wonderful 2-night stay at the Turtle House and could not have asked for a more wonderful host! Monica is an absolute gem - quick to respond to any questions, met us at the door, made us dinner reservations and arranged for a taxi to our rental car. The property was exactly as portrayed in the photos - clean, quiet, comfortable and convenient location with all of the amenities needed. The garden area off the bedroom is the perfect place to unwind from a full day of exploring Florence. We couldn't be happier with our experience here and would definitely stay again if/when we return to Firenze!

A Magical Corner in Firenze

From the minute we entered Monica’s magical space we felt the warmth and welcoming magic of her plants and Furry Friends. She gave us the option to do a much needed load of laundry while we chilled in the garden. This apartment fullfiled all of our Firenze Fantasies! I am looking forward to returning someday.

Fabulous apartment in good location.

Monica’s apartment was perfect! It is so cute with all of the things you could possibly need and is in walking distance to just about everything! The garden is perfection too- we enjoyed a glass of wine every evening out there. It’s beautiful. Monica was so easy to be in touch with and our entire Florence stay was amazing. We would definitely stay again!

A magical time

Before we even arrived Monica was reaching out to us and ensuring we would have the best experience possible. When we arrived to her place she was waiting at the door to what is one of the most enjoyable locations we have ever stayed at. Monica has truly thought of everything, the care and charm she put into not only the place but optimizing the guests stay is next level incredible. It felt like staying with family, and that's not even talking about the amazing garden! If you can manage to get a reservation here I think you owe it to yourself to go for it. The location was amazing, it was so central to everything you could possibly want and Monica goes above qnd beyond to enhance that.

COMFORT IN FLORENCE

The apartment was very comfortable with everything we needed and more. Monica was a wonderful host and we would return again. She is also a masseuse and gave my husband a massage unlike any he has had, it was wonderful. We were sorry to say goodbye to Monica.

Comfortable stay, thoughtful host

My husband and I were very happy with our 1 month stay. Monica is an excellent host who was always available to help. She was waiting when we showed up, had plenty of advice on the area and was very considerate. She is generous with supplies, including wine and fruit to welcome us, as well as various snacks. The atmosphere of her apartment is very homelike. It was wonderful to have access to the garden and its view, especially in a city like Florence where the historic center is all paved and few (or no) trees and shrubs. The location of the neighborhood is excellent.

Wonderful stay, wonderful host

The apartment was quiet and comfortable, with a beautiful garden. It is in a 1000 year old home (!!) on a scenic Florence street a 10-20 minute walk to all of the museums and sights we went to. There are restaurants within a 1-2 minute walk, or all throughout the area. Monica was an extremely gracious and welcoming host (and is fluent in English). The home has been in her family for 5 generations! We’ll be back some day I hope!

Relaxing escape

The apartment was a stunning getaway located just a walk away from all of the main attractions of Florence. Monica's garden makes you feel as if you have left the city entirely and are in the countryside. The apartment was very nice, clean, and has everything you would need. Communication was easy and made the stay stress free. We wish we had stayed longer and would definitely stay again!

Exceptional Experience

The property was clean, inviting and very comfortable. Monica is an excellent host, and had the kitchen stocked with all kinds of goods, fresh fruit, drinks and even a bottle of wine. The garden was serene, even though it was not yet in full bloom. There aren’t enough good words to describe the experience. It was close to everything that we wanted to see in Florence and convenient to shopping and restaurants. It was superb! Thank you Monica. We hope to return in the future.
