Romantic Apartment With Garden 2 Minutes' Walk From Pitti Palace

Santo Spirito-Piazza Pitti apartment with garden sleeps 2/4.
This newly-renovated apartment is located on the first floor of an old building 50 metres from Piazza Pitti. It is about 45 square metres and has the rare feature of a beautiful walled garden which, being at the back of the building, is a haven of peace and birdsong in the centre of the city.
The living room has a mezzanine floor with a double bed. On the lower level is a comfortable sofa bed and seating area, large wardrobe, desk and work area with internet connection and large window overlooking the garden.
The spacious kitchen has a traditional marble-topped table that seats four comfortably, an armchair corner and a door leading out onto the garden.
The bathroom is done out in pale stone with slate grey tiling on the floor: it is contemporary and chic and really quite large for an apartment of this size. There is a small storage room too.
There are oak floors throughout.
The garden has jasmine and antique roses climbing the walls and fresh herbs for use in your Tuscan cooking: a table and chairs provide a perfect spot for al fresco meals and aperitivi.
Although we are at present renting this apartment out, we have deliberately restored it with a view to using it as our own pied-a-terre in Florence one day, so we have not cut corners!
There is a private garage for parking 5 minutes walk away (not ours); there is a daily charge.

Apartment is located centrally, walking distance to many attractions and train station. Getting into apartment with luggage was an exercise. Main challenge was the slow draining shower, we had to rinse feet in sync after the shower.

Florence Loft
Nicky our host was amazing- let me start with that! We had some small issues at the start that she was unaware of, but she handled things immediately. I have rated this property a 4 ONLY because of the noise from the apartment above. They were very disturbing! I had seen comments about this in earlier reviews but nothing recent so assumed it was no longer a problem. It may be new tenants so Nicky was already dealing with it when we left. I would just want to be assured this was no longer happening before booking.again it

The apartment is very well located and close to all attractions. Our stay in Florence was made better by having a lovely place to rest with all the amenities we needed. If you’re looking to stay in Florence don’t hesitate to stay here. There are 2 flights of stairs which were no problem for us but if you have mobility concerns this is the only issue . Contact with the owner was excellent where everything was explained to us. Thanks Nicky for a great stay.

Communication with Nicky was great and she also had an extensive compendium with lots of information and recommendations. The apartment was as advertised. Lovely outdoor courtyard for pre dinner drinks or early morning breakfast. The stairs to the loft bedroom could be a little challenging for some. Easy walk to Ponte Vechio and lots of dining in the area.

Lovely property
Nicky was a wonderful hostess. She greeted us when we arrived and gave us a heads up on everything. The property is so lovely and in an excellent position. We very much enjoyed our stay. It is on the “quieter” side of the river and a nice haven after a busy day of sightseeing. Kathryn and Dewey Sloan Melbourne, Australia.

This apartment is wonderful. Ideally located for the major sites in Florence. Easy to walk everywhere from the apartment. The apartment is spacious and light with a very pleasant garden. The host is very helpful and lives in the same neighborhood, in fact we ran into her one afternoon. The recommendations for food were spot on.

Wonderful private garden in Florence
Great location! Outside the crowds but close to everything. We had a wonderful time having cappucino every mornimg at Cafe Bellini and watching people at the Pitti Palace. The roses were in bloom in the private garden, the bed was comfortable and the shower was great after long days of walking. A perfect place for 2 wks. Nicky was very friendly and communicated well with us. I would highly recommend!

This cozy apartment in Florence met all of our expectations. The host went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. She was very flexible with our arrival times and even welcomed us with a tasty treat and chilled prosecco. Nicky also arranged a taxi for our departure as we were having an issue reaching the company. The apartment was very convenient to the train station as well as the many things to see in Florence. Would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting this area.

Lovely apartment in quiet area.
This very comfortable, well equipped apartment is as shown in the photographs. We have stayed in Florence several times and we particularly enjoyed being in the Oltrano area - close enough to walk everywhere, but away from the frenetic, noisy busyness that is most of Florence. The kitchen is great, very well equipped and very roomy by Italian standards, as is the bathroom. The garden courtyard is an excellent bonus and although we didn’t use it much, being winter, it would be wonderful during the other times of the year. Nicky is a gracious and attentive host and the booking, check in and stay all went very smoothly.

Beautiful, well-maintained garden apartment in the lovely San Spirito neighborhood in central Florence. We were able to walk everywhere we needed to get to; museums, trattorias/cafes, spits of interest, etc. in the city center but yet quiet and secluded, with our own private garden! We would stay here again for sure!! very helpful
