2 Bedroom Apartment in Duomo, Florence

We are renovating the building with scaffolding only inside the courtyard until approx. May 2025.
The works take place from Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm and sometime on Saturday morning.
The apartment 'Flora' is situated in Piazza del Duomo in the heart of Florence’s historical centre, on the 4th level ( no lift - 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.
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.

Summary: This apartment is quite nice. Luca was a great host. He replied quickly to ask questions or concerns. The check in was very detailed. The location really couldn't be any better. You do need to be able to walk up several flights of stairs.

Summary: Absolutely the best place I’ve ever stayed! Location was perfect and close to everything. The host Luca was so helpful and he has the best pillows on the bed. You can see the top of the Dumo from the living room Skylight, absolutely amazing!

Summary: I am so lucky that I found this place for our trip to Florence! This was by far one of the cleanest places I have stayed while travelling. Not to mention it feels luxurious, the beds were great and the whole apartment is updated. There was a lot of space which was very comfortable especially coming from a place in Rome. The location is incredible, you can walk everywhere. Luca was so friendly, and after we had been travelling for so long it was so comforting to have someone greet us who was so welcoming. There are stairs, but if you are travelling to Italy, this is common in any place that you stay, and keep in mind that this building is very old and has a lot of history so it was worth it. Luca went above and beyond having someone waiting there for our arrival to bring our bags up to the apartment (we didn't have this at any other place we stayed). Being from Canada, we are used to very different living spaces, but this apartment made us feel so comfortable. If you are renting through VRBO and not staying at a hotel you must book this apartment, it was the best accommodations we booked for our entire trip. Thanks again Luca!

Summary: We very much enjoyed our stay at The Flora Apartment! It's in a really neat old building right across the street from the Duomo, yet has been thoroughly updated. Our host, Luca, was very accommodating in meeting us late after our flight was delayed, and took the time to explain how everything works with the apartment. The location is awesome! We would certainly stay here again on our next visit to Florence!

Summary: This apartment by far was one of the cleanest places we had ever stayed. Our host, Luca, was very helpful and did a through church-in process for us. He was always wearing a smile and was always reachable. The best part was the location which was in the middle of the tourist attractions surrounded by so many shopping and dining places. If I go back to Florence, I would definitely stay in this place again.

Summary: Everything was as described. Couldn't have asked for a better location or view. There are 4 flights of stairs but Luca had someone there waiting for us to take them to the top for us. Luca took his time to answer any questions. Would stay there again!

Summary: The view and location can't be beaten. I'm 66 and had not difficulty with the stairs. With the safe wide stairs, we just took a breather as needed. The manager met us on arrival and helped with our luggage. He showed us how to operate the window shades & A/C. We loved our stay.

Summary: Property just as described, if not better. I expected a bit of a smaller apartment but overall great size for 3 of us. A number of skylights so place is quite bright; can be closed with blinds with a dark environment for good sleep. The bathroom was darker, small shower as shown in pictures. Our stay was Tues-Sat and did not have problems with noise from the area although we did hear more people out and about on Friday night. As stated, there are many steps but manageable unless you have mobility issues. The owner Luca was very helpful before stay and met us at the apartment to review all about the place. Could not be in a better location! We easily walked from the train station with our luggage in tow; walked/returned to area for the tram to the airport for departure. Highly recommend this apartment!
