Francesca - Romantic apt near Piazza della Signoria

In the area of Piazza della Signoria and Piazza Santa Croce. At the second and unique floor, in Via Vinegia n. 2, a small and very quiet road in a pedestrian area, this lovely and particular apartment has been completely restored and decorated with taste and care for any expectations you may have.
One the same floor we own and rent another unit, the Simona (ref 11170759)

The apartment is at a second floor (first floor in Italy), there is NO LIFT but only 14 steps up from the road.

High quality linens and towels, double pillows for each guests, duvets on the beds..

My sister and I take high pleasure to ensure our guests the best staying by taking care of you since your very first enquiry to your departure..

We own and manage personally both apartments so you'll always be checked-in by one of us and we'll be avaialble for you any time for any question, help or need you may have..

Both apartments (the Francesca and the Simona) belong to an ancient bulding dated back to the XV century and share a private entrance from the road, in front of the magnificent stonewall of the medieval S. Remigio Church, in one of the oldest and most famous area of Florence.

The apartments can be booked together and can accomodate up to 10 guests.
The location is so central that you can easily get back home any time of the day for a quick rest or a bite and go out again to visit this magnificent city.
With all kind of shops just around the corner (litterally!!) and Piazza della Signoria at 1 minute walk, these properties are really in the centre of the centre!
With some of the best restaurants, ice-cream, fresh pasta, street food an coffee bar just around the corner you'll be able to enjoy your staying with no efforts trying to find out where you can have the best ice-cream of Florence!!
The apartment has its own heating and a/c system

History and leisure: The entire historical centre of Florence has been declared World Heritage by the UNESCO and Via Vinegia is just in the middle of it! All the major sites are within walking distance: Piazza della Signoria and the Uffizi Gallery, Ponte vecchio, The Duomo, The magnificent church of Santa Croce: everything is just around the corner.
And if you like to try the very best food you have a choice of restaurants and, most of all, you are at 10 min. walking from one of the oldest and most famous market in Florence, The Sant'Ambrogio market where you can buy the most exquisite traditional food.. and as far as ice-cream is concerned, Vivoli (the most famous one) is at 3 min walking
Via de Neri, the road at 20 mt from Via Vinegia is full of all kind of shops: groceries, take away, chemistry, fruiters, ice-cream, bakeries, mini market, bars, laundry...
Anything you may need is just around the corner!

Car: The centre of Florence is closed to car with specific rules. We suggest you NOT TO ARRIVE WITH A CAR if you can. You won't need (and you won't be allowed too) to use it during your staying in the city. But in case you should have it, we will be glad to give you all the informations you may need for entering and parking in this area.

Perfect spot
This apartment checks all the boxes. Lovely decor, convenient to most of the major attractions, and comfortable. Simona made check in and check out very easy. She is very approachable and ready to help with any concerns. The apartment is big enough for four adults without any problems. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Great location and walking distance to everything in the historical city centre and a short bus ride from the train station. Very clean apartment exactly as advertised. Very comfortable for a family of 4 with teens . Kitchen had enough to cook make coffee / tea otherwise a lot of eateries around the corner . It was a very easy stay thanks to Simona. We would definitely return if we return to Florence .

Pristine and centrally located apartment with the most comfortable beds. Thank you to our host who was the most welcoming and helpful we’ve ever had. She made sure we had a bottle of cold water in the fridge upon our arrival during a heat wave and helped us secure a taxi to the train station when checking out. 5 Stars for excellent service, a luxurious stay and beautiful city!

Perfect Location and Great Place
How lucky for us (2 couples) to find this place. Right near everything but quiet location. Our host was so easy to communicate with and met us upon our arrival. The place was gorgeous inside and everything was updated. Our regret was that we didn't spend more time in Florence. This place was perfect for two adult couples. We greatly appreciated the restaurant recommendations!

Lovely apartment and fantastic location
The apartment was impeccably clean and perfectly suited for our family of 4. Bathrooms brand new and plenty of closet space. The location was ideal. Right near every major attraction. We would highly recommend this apartment to friends and family. Simona and Francesca were extremely helpful helping to make a restaurant reservation and taxi to the train station.

Look no further you are home
If you love Florence as my wife and I do having traveled to this amazing city often you will not find a better location for your stay than here. This comfortable, extremely well-kept and furnished, spotlessly maintained apartment is THE place you want to call your “home away from home.” Your host, Simona, is at once welcoming and responsive to any foreseeable need during your stay which always puts a traveler at ease - whether for a few nights or a few weeks. You simply won’t find a better spot to explore this amazing city. Located on a quiet narrow street, just a few steps up across from a small church, you will love the sense of peace and quiet after a day of navigating the sights and endless marvels of Florence. Enjoy your stay.

Near Uffizi
Very well located, clean, well appointed and comfortable apartment minutes from Uffizi. Simona was very helpful and considerate in the entire process. Two of us had the Simone unit and three others in our party had the Francesca unit across the hall so it was ideal for a group of 5. Would recommend this property heartily.

I recently stayed at the Francesca with my Mom..Simona met us upon arrival and was great at explaining everything about her apartment..the location is amazing, literally down the street from the Ufizzi and walking distance to most sites in Florence. The immediate neighborhood is loaded with great cafes and restaurants..I would definitely stay at Francesca again..the apartment is exactly as pictured:)

Friends in Florence!
The flat is just perfect. Totally updated with kitchen and bathrooms but retaining fabulous old world charm. So fun to imagine the lives there in years gone by. The location is absolutely spot on with important sites all within walking distance. Simona was an exceptional host in many ways. A very thorough greeting and introduction to the workings of the flat plus above and beyond helping us with transportation during a transportation strike. Very much appreciated her professionalism and compassion. Loved our stay!!
