About this property

Historical apartment in the heart of Florence with exclusive terrace

Flick through some art books from the comfort of a leather armchair by the library. This renovated apartment with a roomy exclusive terrace blends old and new, from antique ceiling frescoes to recent Pompeii-inspired paintings by a famous local artist.
Relax in veranda with a glass of delicious Chianti wine, read a book in the shadow of the terrace, feel the history of the Medici family.

This flat has been completely renovated, it is in the heart of Florence, Santa Croce district, few steps away from the main sight seeings, restaurants and bars. .The rooms are very spacious. The living room has 2 windows opened on the terrace.
This apartment has a very unique flavor.The library in the living room has a lot of art books, the sofas are comfortable and the room is big. 10 people can sit at the dining table. There is a desk and comfortable carpets on the floor.

The apartment has keyboards with codes so you don't need to use keys. Check in can be done 24 hours
I can give you good informations for your visits. I leave a book in the apartment with recommendations, restaurants etc...Don't hesitate to ask me for a good guide to accompany you in the museums inside or outside Florence, in the Chianti countryside or Sienne, San Gimignano, Pise or Lucques.

Christmas in Firenze

The Terrace was the perfect choice for our family at Christmas. I debated whether I should book a hotel or a VRBO, and this was the best choice. The living area is very comfortable and spacious. The showers were great. The beds were very comfortable. Towels were great quality. I loved having the washer/dryer and to top it off, there was a beautiful Christmas tree in the apartment. We loved the neighborhood and location. When we return to Florence, we would love to stay here again! Ciao for now!!

Beautiful, large apartment within walking distance of all attractions

The apartment is large and beautifully decorated, and it was spotlessly clean. Our family of 5 stayed here while visiting Florence, and the location made it easy for us to walk to all of the attractions and restaurants, and this was a wonderful place to come back and relax in. The manager was very responsive and accommodating to requests. We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay in Florence!

This was a great space in Florence for my husband and I and another couple for our 40th wedding Anniversary trip! It was a very unique “Italian style” apartment decorated beautifully. We enjoyed reading about the history of the apartment and got a lot of great information out of Marie’s book. She was very helpful and patient with my many questions about our first trip to Italy and responded quickly. The apartment was right in the center of many restaurants and stores but on a quieter store/alley. We would love to stay there again!

True Italian charm!

This property is truly unique from the library full of books to the amazing terrace. The host was quick to respond with questions. Although only two bedrooms this apartment was big enough for our two families (4 adults and two teen boys). The location is outstanding with easy access to all the sights. Would stay here again in the future.

Florence Oasis

What a lovely VRBO stay in Florence! We so appreciated our stay here - a beautiful apartment tucked off the main walking areas of Florence. Marie has done such lovely work with the decor and amenities, we really couldn't think of anything else we needed. The apartment is so centrally located but tucked down a quiet street. We regularly walked back to the apartment to grab something we forgot or otherwise to relax during the hot afternoons. We would highly recommend - just perfect!

About the host

Hosted by MARIE MIDAVAINE

Host profile image
I'm French and I have been living in Florence for a very long time (almost 30 years). I travel a lot both for my work and my vacation. I've tried to create a space that I'd myself like to find when I am away from home.I want it very clean because I always walk bare feet, I want it with all the comfort because I don't like washing the dishes, I want it quiet because I am on vacation, I want it nice because my home is nice! I speak French, english, italian and learning spanish because my eldest son leaves in Colombia. I couldn't leave without my yoga and my main interest are the oriental philosophies from which I have learned a lot.

Why they chose this property

This property is an incredible mix of art and history. Its location first of all is in a very historic, medieval neighborhood., very lively and 2 steps away from the main sightseeings. The building was built in 1400 and the terrace is very unusual. This property is unique and gives you the flavor of how Florence was at the time of The Renaissance .

What makes this property unique

the big terrace is very unusual in the historical center, the size of the rooms, the frescoes on the ceilings and the renovation trying to maintain the antique character mixed up with modern comfort.
