About this property

The space has been completely renovated. I wanted it nice and warm, big enough for 2 couples to stay comfortable with a lot of space and the possibility to add 2 single beds either in the rooms or in the living room. There are 2 bedrooms and 2 complete bathrooms and also a third bathroom without shower.
The kitchen is fully equipped and you'll find everything to cook .The table of the dining room can host up to 6 people.
The view on the city is great and I love the huge cypress in front of one the window.
To reach the Ponte vecchio, it'll take you 3 minutes walk and the duomo is 5 minutes. You are in the middle of everywhere.
I have made every effort to provide you with comfort, nice details, a good energy, soft and relaxing colors...I have tried to make you feel at home. Just a good glass of red chianti wine, enjoy the city and make your stay memorable!

This home is located on the second floor with no lift – the building is positioned half on a steep hill, and there are thirty-nine steps leading up to the front door, so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility
Like most historic buildings in Florence, there is no elevator. the apartment is located on the second floor with 45 stairs .
If this property is not available for the dates you need you can also check my other property #512300 and 1286132.

Cozy apartment in a great location

This was a cute spot for a couples getaway. The apartment was nicely equipped with everything we needed and close to all the sights. If you have any challenges with walking this might not be a good spot because there is quite a hill to climb and taxis are not allowed on the street. There is also no elevator. We enjoyed the extra exercise!

Absolutely wonderful!

I can’t say enough good things about La Maison. Marie was a responsive host and provides a lovely, clean, well decorated place. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found the binder of information Marie provided full of interesting and helpful information. Being just across the Arno gets you away from the crowds while still being very convenient to the sights. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to others.

Fabulous location

Four of us traveled for my 50th birthday and stayed a week in La Maison. Pros: Excellent location at Arno river with easy access to 3 pedestrian bridges Beautiful, quaint bedrooms Large stand-up showers Large TV (*we brought own cables to hook to our laptop) Kitchen stocked with dishes, cook ware Small washer with standing hangers to dry Ok-ish: Not a lot of space in which to put clothing and "live" for a few days. There were some hangers, tiny drawers. Bathroom window electric and slow Heat and airflow an issue and did not respond to thermostat. Each room had own AC/fan unit - however the fan units are disconnected during the colder season due apparently to a city ordinance. Thus despite a wall fan, we could not use it. There were no box fans in the unit. For airflow we could open the windows (which worked very well) yet it was a rainy season so limited how much we could actually open them. Not awesome: When we did ask about the heat and fans, Marie was responsive and came to the unit that next day to show us the equipment. Yet, the next day she sent an electrician over; we did not know the reason. They literally lockboxed in the thermostat so we could not access it. It was a bit confusing. At departure, I screwed up paying the city fee in cash; my fault. Paid online. Yet, Marie turned angry on text and accused us of breaking the bathroom window and leaving the unit in disrepair, both untrue. It was horrible and out of line. Take photos when you check out.

This apartment was in a great location. Parking was a challenge but the owner made some suggestions that worked out fine. There was a ton of space, 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a full kitchen and a living room. Internet was fast. We really enjoyed this place and would absolutely stay here again. When we stayed here there was a lot of construction happening literally right outside the door. The entry hall and along the stairs to this place were covered in demolition dust and debris and the work started around 8am with jackhammers. We were out all day everyday so the noise didn't bother us.

Perfect Florence Apt

Our host Marie was a Great Host. Her suggestions for places to have gelato, pastries and of course Florentine Steak were worth following her advice. The location is near the sights , but in a quiet neighborhood. She arranged a taxi when we had to say goodbye to Florence. Thanks Jim & D‘Anne

Un appartement au charme fou

Séjour parfait, tant par l'emplacement idéal, au calme tout en étant proche de tout, typiquement florentin, vieil immeuble charmant, appartement bien décoré, avec goût et chaleureux, bien agencée avec tout le nécessaire pour un long week-end de fêtes de fin d'année. Nous avons passé de très bons moments entre les visites, comme à la maison. Accueil très sympathique et parfait de la part de Mattéo qui a toujours répondu présent à nos questions. Nous reviendrons....

Great Experience

I can’t say enough good things about this property. Marie was wonderful to work with and thinks of everything. The property is truly a home away from home. It’s the perfect combination of rustic/charming yet updated where it’s important like the bathrooms. We stayed with our 3 teenage daughters and there was plenty of space to spread out. The location is central to everything you want to do and see, the neighborhood is safe and quiet and close to a grocery store, shopping and restaurants. Marie provides a binder with information on the area which is helpful. She also scheduled a taxi for us to get to the train station when we departed. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Gemütliche Wohnung in bester Lage

Dieses kleine Juwel liegt in einer ruhigen, malerischen Seitengasse, gerade südlich der Ponte Vecchio. Ein gut bestückter Supermarkt ist gleich am Ende der Straße, vom Trubel der Touristen ist hier aber nichts mehr zu spüren. Von den Fenstern aus hat man einen wunderbaren Blick über einen gegenüberliegenden großen Garten und auf die Uffizien und sogar die Turmspitze des Palazzo Vecchio. Die Wohnung selbst ist sehr geschmackvoll, gemütlich und originell mit Antiquitäten und asiatischer Kunst eingerichtet. Die zwei Schlafzimmer bieten genügend Platz für fünf Personen. Es gibt zwei moderne, geräumige Duschbäder und eine kleine Gästetoilette inkl einer kleinen Waschmaschine. Die Küche ist urig, gut ausgestattet, wenn auch etwas klein. Für Frühstück, Abendbrot und Snacks reicht es aber allemal. Im Wohnzimmer sitzt man auf unterschiedlichen Sesseln um den Kamin sehr gemütlich und genießt den Charme dieser wunderbar gestalteten, typisch florentiner Wohnung. Wir sind eine fünfköpfige Familie mit drei halbwüchsigen Kindern und haben hier fünf wunderbare Tage verbracht. Vielen Dank!

Beautiful Property in Florence

My wife and 3 teenage children stayed in Marie's apartment in Florence for 2 nights and loved it. In fact, 2 nights wasn't enough for us but it was all we could manage. The apartment is beautifully decorated and is in a great location near the river. Marie was great to work with and the property is as advertised. She even went out of her way to arrange a taxi for us to the train station. This location is very close to the main bridge but on the less touristy side of the river. We would absolutely stay here again if we ever visit Florence in the future. Thanks Marie!

Pulito, molto attrezzato, dotato di ogni confort, vicinissimo ad ogni attrazione turistica . comodo dalla stazione e raggiungibile a piedi , come noi abbiamo fatto, in 20 minuti. Per finire un grazie va alla proprietaria Marie, persona molto disponibile, cordiale e attenta alle piccole e grandi esigenze dei suoi ospiti. Quindi......esperienza da rifare e da consigliare.

Perfect place to stay

We were 4 adults and all found the apartment to be very spacious. 2 big bedrooms and 2 big bathrooms. Great common area. We had breakfast every day in the place and 2 dinners. The location is excellent- just across from Ponte Vecchio and all the crowds in Florence. We were able to walk everywhere. The beds were very comfy and enjoyed exploring the various neighborhoods on our side of the bridge as well as the side with the Uffuzi, etc. this is a walk up apartment which was not a problem for us but just wanted to mention it. There is also a washer and half bath in a small room. There was a damp smell that we noticed when we opened the door. We would recommend this place!

Cozy spot in a great location.

Marie met us on check-in and gave us lots of good info on the local area and traditions. The location was a 5 minute walk to Ponte Vecchio and a great base for exploring Firenze. The apartment was perfect for two couples. The kitchen is a bit small but who the hell goes to Firenze and cooks. Waaaaay to many awesome places to eat.

About the host

Hosted by MARIE MIDAVAINE

I'm French and I have been living in Florence for a very long time (almost 30 years).
I am a tireless traveller.
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 you deserve it, I want it quiet because you are on vacation.
I speak French, english, italian.
I couldn't leave without my yoga and my main interest are the oriental philosophies.

Why they chose this property

This property is big enough to host 6 persons. For a traveller who wants to stay in the historical center without the crowd of tourists, the location is perfect and at the same time, the street is very quiet. No noise. The view is beautiful..

The apartment is halfway up (100 meters)

I am just a phone call text or email away

What makes this property unique

I love the big cypress in front of the window, I love to have my breakfast 2 minutes from home in a nice coffee shop facing the river, I love to be able to walk everywhere, I love to sleep with my windows opened because it is so quiet, I love to be in the part of the city away from the crowd of tourists, I love the food and the coffee shops of this neighbourhood.
