Close
In the heart of historic Florence, there is a steep little street, paved with pietra serena, Costa San Giorgio, in the oldest part of Florence, that goes up from the Ponte Vecchio to Porta San Giorgio, right next to Forte Belvedere: this very ancient access to the City is made up of small houses, simple buildings but full of charm and history…almost a magical landscape of sorts, with the buildings clinging to the hillside, small houses mostly but also more important palaces and famous villas: Villa Bardini and its charming garden are just a few houses up.
As you enter you will find a bright living room with sofa, dinette, Smart TV and Internet (cable), kitchenette (fridge and two burners, and everything you need to prepare a romantic dinner) and then Nespresso, microwave, kettle, as well as washer-dryer, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, mini air conditioners and coolers, blackout curtains in the rooms…. .Even if you arrive tired or late, as a welcome you will find the necessities to prepare your breakfast the next day: coffee capsules, tea, milk, sugar, rusks, jams and mineral water.
You will recognize the cozy atmosphere of Frances’ rooms, for those who already know her, her personal touch of taste and attention to detail that have always distinguished her and make the guest feel at home away from home from the first time they enter.
We tried, as we did before, to make guests find out what we first appreciate finding when we travel, and that is why you will find Max to welcome you, a family man, not an employee of an Agency, ready to give you all the information and suggestions about the city where he was born and where he lives.
Our Apartments: two gems in the heart of Florence
The apartments are in an almost exclusively pedestrian street (only cabs and residents can access it) so if you have a car better park it in a public parking lot on the outskirts and take a cab: no transportation is necessary for the visit of the City and getting around on foot from here is a pleasure… we are in the center of the oldest heart of the City and no distance between our Suites and the main monuments exceeds 2 and a half kilometers (about 15 minutes on foot)
Despite the location 300 meters from the Ponte Vecchio and the lively neighborhood of San Niccolò, silence envelops these houses, and in the morning you will hear the birds singing from the gardens all around.
VIEW
The apartment opens wide to the City and Florence’s most famous monuments; the Duomo with its dome, Palazzo Vecchio, Santa Croce and the Arno river seem to “leap” into the house through its two windows.
It will be a unique pleasure to sit on the couch and have Brunelleschi’s Dome in front of your eyes, especially at sunset when the lights come on and the view enchants you, the illuminated monuments seem like “visions”… after a day spent walking around visiting Florence.
Or admire the Dome still between the pillows of your bed…
HEART
The apartment is in front of the house in which Galileo Galilei did his telescope studies, and our windows overlook the small garden of his house across the street, where it is easy to imagine Galileo gazing at the stars.
The sun makes the apartment bright, and the street on which it overlooks, Costa san Giorgio will make you feel part of the city, traversed on foot every day by enchanted visitors walking up to Forte Belvedere or Villa Bardini, or down to the Ponte Vecchio.
You will find with us:
Authentic King Size Bed, Washer Dryer, FTTH FIBER Broadband Internet, Air Conditioning, Fully Equipped Kitchen, Microwave, Nespresso Machine, Mosquito Nets on all windows, Hair Dryer, Iron and Ironing Board.
