The rooms of Catia, maison de charme

Inaugurated in 2017, the rooms of Catia, is a design apartment on the 4th floor with lift of a historic building in front of the Santa Maria Novella station. In the city center, a few steps from the monuments and shopping streets, finely renovated and equipped with all comforts, can accommodate up to six people. In addition to the living area, there are two comfortable double rooms and a single plus a sofa bad, two bathrooms with shower one of which is inside a room, TV and air conditioning in all rooms. Entering the apartment, you face the living area, equipped with a comfortable sofa for reading or watching TV on the wall that also satisfies the customer who prefers to sit in the dining area. The open-plan kitchen on the dining area with adjoining a small terrace is equipped with a kitchenette, oven and Nespresso coffee machine (breakfast capsules are provided).
A bright corridor introduces the sleeping area, where there is a first independent bathroom with shower, a very large double room with private bathroom and shower, a single room that allows access to the last double room where there is a sofa bad used in the same room or to be included in the single room. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, wi-fi and wall-mounted TV.

The district

Santa Maria Novella district / San Lorenzo

A ride around

The central location of the apartment makes it convenient for those arriving by train or even for those who, arriving by car, can leave it in the multi-storey car park, below the station. Next to the entrance door is the Mac cafe ', open 24 hours a day. A few meters from the station of S. Maria Novella and about 500 meters from the Fortezza da Basso (home of the fairs in the city). The Medici Chapels and the Church of San Lorenzo with the characteristic market, are literally around the corner (about 100 m), the Duomo is 400 and from here just a short walk to get to Piazza della Signoria and reach Ponte Vecchio. Near the hotel there is a supermarket, countless restaurants and pizzerias, where you can taste the delicacies of typical Florentine cuisine, bookshops, internet point as well as night clubs and discos for your entertainment. In addition to the convenience of the railway line from here the shuttle to the airport and the extra-urban lines for trips outside Florence or to reach the famous outlets.
It is also possible to rent electric cars at the station.

Other things to highlight

Despite the proximity to the train station, the apartment is really very quiet as it overlooks the back of the building.

This place is so close to tourists attractions. It is also close to a lot of shops and restaurants. The best part is, it is right across the Santa Maria Novella train station. Cons: AC not strong enough.

Great Location!

We spent two nights in this wonderful apartment on our way to southern Italy and had a great time. Our hostess met us at the property and gave us the tour and explained everything in detail along with recommending places to eat. The apartment was very clean, beds very comfortable and the location was absolutely perfect. I would definitely recommend staying here and hope to be back again in the future.

Return To Florence, Italy (Spring 2023)

From beginning to end our stay was wonderful. Emanuela was in contact with us from the date of making the reservation until date of departure and was available (IF needed) during our stay. Apartment was located in a central location and very convenient to the train station. Apartment was well equipped. WONDERFUL STAY.

Fabulous home

Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay here. What a beautiful home and so central to everything. The train station, grocery store, and the major attractions are all within an easy walking distance. Emanuela is wonderful to communicate with. She readily gets back to you and is so friendly and willing to help in anyway. We would definitely stay here again when we return to Florence!

Convenient location in Florence

Emanuela was so helpful with the check in and let us stay late for check out due to our departure schedule. Check in process was smooth. Only drawback was air conditioning was hard for us to decipher which made it hard to be comfortable in this record heat. Also wish we had more laundry detergent available.

First time in Florence

The apartment was a perfect place to stay during our visit to Florence. The apartment is beautiful, clean and quiet. Communication with Emanuela was easy. She gave very detailed instructions on how to access the apartment. The location was perfect. We traveled via train and it was so convenient. Walking to all of the sites, restaurants and shop was also very convenient. We would stay here again and we highly recommend this apartment.

Amazing location!

What a gem. The location was perfect: across from train station, within 10 mins walk from major sightseeing spots, restaurants, bus station where tours departs. Condo was clean, kitchen fully equipped, small elevator for luggages, washing machine to pack less. Linen and towels were clean! Great property management, very easy check in/out process! Despite being across from the train station, the condo was super quiet! Thanks for an amazing experience.

Un appartement plein de charme à proximité de toutes les merveilles de Florence

Tout d’abord, merci à Emanuela pour son très bon accueil. L’appartement est spacieux, calme et bien équipé. Il est agréablement décoré. Sa situation juste en face de la gare est très pratique si, comme nous, vous voyagez en train. Tous les services sont à proximité dont le marché central de Florence qui mérite le détour pour tous les gourmands. Le centre ville et les principaux lieux de visite sont à une dizaine de minutes à pied. Bref, un endroit idéal pour passer quelques jours à Florence.

Perfect Location

The apartment was clean and the location across from the train station was perfect for travel to and from Florence to other cities. And for walking around Florence to become part of the city while enjoying the beauty and energy surrounding us. We had difficulty finding the location but were kindly met by Rosy who quickly showed us the way. The apartment is located in the middle of the block between Burger King and McDonalds - just look for the large wooden doors. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms accommodating. Make sure the nozzle in the shower is in the correct position before you turn it on! It was nice to have a washer but there was no dryer as mentioned in the description. Plenty of storage space in the spacious bedrooms. The kitchen was minimally supplied for preparing meals but useful for what we prepared. It would be nice to have a toaster and regular coffee maker versus the nespresso machine. Especially when you have four coffee lovers! Thank you for always responding promptly to any questions. If you are looking for a centrally located place to stay this is the one! Enjoy Florence as it has much to offer with beauty, charm and good food and wine!

Excellent Apartment next to S. M. Novella Station

Exactly as described. The Apartment worked out perfectly for a family of 4 to give each teen their own space. Communication with Emanuela was easy (WhatsApp is very helpul in Italy) and she was very kind and helpful. Check in was easy (Rosy was very nice too and spoke great English - much better than our Italian). The unit was very clean and secure and my teen son loved the 24-hour McDonalds downstairs. Having a lift was very helpful with our luggage, as was the tiny walk from the train station. The city centre is within walking distance and there are buses (you can pay on board!) to get you everywhere. It was very hot while we were there and the air conditioning was very helpful and worked great. You can only run 3 of the 4 at a time, so we used them in the bedrooms and closed off the door to the kitchen and living room/entry to keep the cool air in, so the other areas did get warm. However, this wouldn't likely be any issue if not for the extreme heat we experienced. There were metal shades on the windows we closed during the day which also worked to keep it very cool inside. Unlike every other rental we had in Italy (and many other places) the beds in this unit were really comfortable! The washer/dryer was a little hard to find at first (in a hall closet) but worked great (you do have to run it while the a/c is not running - we just ran it while we were out). In short, we hope to stay here again on a return trip to Florence!

Close to train station and sights!

Clean and very well appointed apartment. While it is across from the train station it is very quiet with the positioning of the windows to interior courtyard. Just minutes away from major sights and dining. Only challenge was not being able to run the AC with the clothes washer, so we had to time out washing when leaving apartment.. Emanuela was very accommodating and met us at the train station. There was lot of information and dining recommendations at the ready and the few that we tried were spot on!
