Description from owner

Description

The apartment 'Flora' is situated in Piazza del Duomo in the heart of Florence’s historical centre, on the 4th level ( no lift with 87 steps ) of a prestigious XVI century palace that once belonged to the Ghiberti family, one of Florence’s most important historical families, with easy steps well worth the journey. Assistance is provided to help with luggage upon arrival

From October 25 2009, Piazza del Duomo is a pedestrian area with all the advantages that an area like that can offer

Spending time in my apartment is to be accompanied by the shadow of the magnificent dome of Brunelleschi, the grandeur of Giotto’s belltower and the splendour of Vasari’s frescos, in an unforgettable dream that Florence will dream with you and bring you great joy and an even greater desire to return.

Flora directly faces the Duomo, giving you the sensation that you could reach out and touch its magnificent green and white marble facade.

The apartment has been completely restored in Florentine style, but with all modern comforts. Flora is a charming and elegant apartment comprising: a living/dining room with a comfortable sofa, a modern and fully-equipped kitchenette, 1 bedroom with a double bed (140x200), 1 bedroom with 2 single beds ( 85x200) that can be transformed into a double bed. 1 modern bathroom with shower, complete the description of the apartment. The apartment also boasts a splendid skylight with electronic controls that offers you a bird’s eye view of the famous Brunelleschi dome.

All modern comforts are provided: air conditioning, LCD TV,Dvd, satellite TV, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave oven, safe, WiFi and cable internet dsl, security door and intercom.

STAY TAX:

The city of Florence has decided to extend the “Stay tax” (introduced in 2011) also to private rentals (on top of Hotels, B&B and so on..)

The tax is 4.00 EURO PER NIGHT/EACH GUEST for a max of 7 nights ( see my rental agreement for more info ).

ELECTRICITY:

From May 1st to September 30th electricity will be calculated on consumption with counter ( euro 0.40 x kWh - I will subtract two euros from your daily consumption which will be deducted from your bill to be paid on check-out )

Getting around

Florence historic centre is close to non-residential cars. There is no way to park in the area but booking a garage which is quite expensive. Not only, you are not allowed to drive around the centre so we deeply recommend not to have a car. In case you have we will be glad to provide all the needed informations. The listing can be easily reached by taxi both from the airport than the station. And the entire Historical centre is easily walkable

Interaction with guest

My name is Luca and I was born in this magnificent palace in front of the Duomo and now with pleasure I propose my apartment for those who are attracted by the beauty of Florence and its history.The entire top floor of the building belonged to my family for over 200 years
