Wonderful city apartment with breath taking views over Florence.

The apartment, (70 square meter) is situated in the historical centre of Florence directly at the 'Piazza San Marco', one of the most beautiful historical public squares of the city. It is located at the 5th floor (without elevator) of an historical palace (XVIII century). The apartment, which has air condition is totally silent, from the balcony as well as from all windows you will enjoy a wonderful view over Florence and its monuments. From the kitchen (refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, oven and gas-cooker) you step on a nice roomy balcony where you can take breakfast while enjoying the wonderful view over San Marco Cathedral and the hills of Fiesole. The apartment has furthermore a large living/dining room with TV, two separate bedrooms (one with a comfortable double bed and a special view on the Dome of Florence) and a modern bathroom with shower. All main museums and monuments of Florence can be visited within walking distance.


How to reach us: By car: Highway 1 Bologna - Firenze, Exit Firenze Nord, direction 'centro', direction 'Piazza San Marco'. Parking 'Parterre' nearby at Piazza della Libertà.

By train: Florence main station (Santa Maria Novella) - 2 min with taxi or all buses with direction 'San Marco'.

By airplane: Take a taxi (15 -20 min) or take a bus (Narvetta, the tickets you get on the bus) until Florence main station (Santa Maria Novella), than take a bus with direction 'San Marco'.

Information to the surroundings: The apartment in Florence is located in one of the central squares of the city (Piazza San Marco) in the historic center of town.

This district Cosimo il Vecchio has left its mark. Within the walls of this area once the menagerie of the Medici family was staying. Today it is the student quarter, and during the semester, the Piazza San Marco is always populated by young people who are waiting for the start of their lectures and art classes. The Accademia di Belli Arti founded in 1563 is the oldest art academy in the world, dating back to Michelangelo.

The adjacent neighborhood to the San Lorenzo church is surrounded by a square, and a colorful market life reminds us that Florence was the city of merchants. Many of the offered products are real bargains, especially if you act like the locals with the sellers ...

Wonderful Location and Beautiful Views
We stayed for 5 weeks in this apartment and it was so comfortable and the kitchen worked well for cooking. Great balcony overlooking the piazza with hillside views. Views of the Duomo from the primary bedroom. The host, Tiberio, was wonderful with suggestions and helping us secure soccer tickets for a Florentina game. Would definitely stay there again.

Luxury apartment by the Duomo
We stayed two nights in this beautifully appointed apartment. This spot had luxurious linens, a great kitchen and living room. Very comfy bedroom with a drop dead gorgeous view of the Duomo. The host was accommodating and allowed us to drop off our luggage early. One caveat, there are roughly 200 steps from the street level to the front door. The view was well worth it. Very close to markets and good restaurants. Would like to go back someday.

Nice, comfortable and hassle free rental.
We are very grateful we could have access to this property. It is well located, quiet and has more amenities than we needed. The check-in and check-out processes were simple and friendly. The host answered quickly and their support (including the resourceful binder inside the apartment) were really helpful. We will definitely be renting this property again should we visit Florence in a near future. Traveling often comes with a certain level of stress and hope that thing will go as expected. This rental was for our family comfortable, stress-free and it really allowed us to enjoy our stay and what the city had to offer. Thank you!

Breathtaking view!
Really great apartment, excellent location, 2 small supermarkets within 2 mins (recommend Conad over Carrefore for price and variety) also really good takeaway food in the square, arrancini etc. Florence so small everything is easily walkable and of course David is literally your neighbour! Recommend San Marco museum over the road. Apartment is spacious, view breathtaking, air con kept us cool in 37 deg. Beds comfy and apartment is well equipped and we enjoyed the balcony for our morning cup.of tea. Would recommend!

Wonderful apartment to explore a beautiful city!
My husband, grown son & I stayed at Tiberio's apartment for two nights while we explored the beauty of Florence. Everything was as described & fit our needs perfectly. We loved enjoying morning coffee on the terrace & the view of the duomo from the master bedroom is incredible. Grazie mille! As the listing mentions, this apartment is up many flights of stairs. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with mobility concerns but it was great for us. (I earned my gelato by climbing them!)

Quaint spacious apartment in the heart of Florence
We had a great stay at Florence and glad we had this Vrbo close to many sites. We did know we had 5 floors of stairs to get to our room but wished the AC actually worked better in common living area. Worked great in bedroom. Wasnt too much of an issue since we were out most of day. Tiberio was kind, organized, and informative. We did have trouble with the wifi being spotty but we did okay. Overall, good spot to be near San Marco neighborhood, walking distance to dumo! We enjoyed our stay.

Central Florence stay
We loved the location of this apartment and the views were amazing. We had a few issues with cleanliness when we arrived however these were immediately addressed by Tiberio and his wife. Do however be aware of the 6 flights of stairs to get to the apartment, but the views were worthwhile. It should also be noted that the AC was not available at all times. Despite minor issues I would recommend staying here,

Fabulous Firenze steps away from David!
Our stay in Florence was much too short which means we will just have to go back! Tiberio and his daughter Letizia greeted us warmly and showed us around their spectacular apartment. The view from the patio is incredible and you can even see the Duomo from the bedroom window which was gorgeous at sunset and during the night. Accademia which houses Michaelangelo's David is literally around the corner and all the main attractions of Firenze are within walking distance. Many delicious food options of course nearby. The only warning would be for people with mobility issues. It is 5 floors to the top with no lift/elevator but that is the norm in Europe and we were young/capable enough it didn't affect us. Tiberio is an excellent host and kept in close contact with us to make sure everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend his place to anyone wanting to stay in the heart of Florence.

Amazing Views
We stayed for a week in Oct 23. We found the location perfect for food, attractions, and transportation. We especially enjoyed the view of the Doumo from the bedroom and the view of San Marco Square from the balcony. We had wine on it every night. The stairs are real but not an issue for us (we are early 61 & 57). Tiberio was excellent through the entire process.

Wonderful 5 night stay
We had a fantastic stay at Tiberio’s apartment. He was so kind to allow us to drop off our baggage prior to check in and gave us a full walk through of the place. He was warm, kind, and very friendly. The view of the Duomo was a perk as well as a small terrace to look over the piazza. There are many restaurants nearby as well as a grocery store. It was a huge surprise that the museum with Michelangelo’s David was right around the corner! I would recommend Tiberio’s place without hesitation.

Best balcony in Firenze
Our family of 4 absolutely loved this place. The balcony was our highlight every night with the views, the entertainment from the piazza below and local beer and wine and snacks from the market around the corner. We walked to everything from here. Plus there is a fabulous bread shop and a cafe that had the best croissants, espressos, desserts and pizza right below as recommended by our host.

A wonderful retreat right on top of central Florence
Tiberio’s apartment offers a spacious retreat with amazing views of the Duomo and the mountains surrounding Florence—all a stone’s throw from the Duomo and in walking distance to all of the city’s offerings. The kitchen is well-appointed and includes all the basics and some extras necessary to cook (salt, pepper, sugar, flour, oil, vinegar, etc). Tiberio is a kind host, attentive to providing you an enjoyable stay. And the stairs, while certainly not suitable for someone with mobility issues, will make you feel less guilty for all the gelato you’ll consume! The view is most worthwhile. I hope to return again soon.

The apartment is located very central and everything of interest can be reached by walking. It is quite a few stairs to climb but u will be rewarded with some nice views over the city.

In the Heart of the Action
This property is perfectly situated on a major piazza, a half-block from the museum that houses the David, with a taxi stand out front and a selection of restaurants and gelato stands right next door. There is a supermarket about a block away. The outdoor rooftop patio has a view of the piazza and the hills to the north, while the bathroom and master bedroom have a view of the Duomo to the south. The owner speaks good English, and is very responsive to issues. When the WiFi cut out on one day, he came later the same day and fixed it. Why four stars instead of five? Be aware that you must climb 97 stairs to get to the unit. This is a lot harder than it sounds, especially in summer humid heat, and with luggage or groceries. Also, the water pressure was very low when we were there in the summer, which meant that the "on demand" water heater did not register the water flow - resulting in only cold water being available most of the time.

Clean and well-furnished apartment in great location
A very well-kept and clean apartment with a great view of the Duomo and San Marco square. Our host welcomed us on the first day and met with us once more before we left, such hospitality and professionalism! The location is a very convenient base to explore Florence; the apartment is just a step away from the Accademia and many sights were within walking distance, this made our day given the heatwave that befell the birthplace of the Renaissance. We walked to the Duomo, Uffizi gallery, Medici Chapel and central market. We especially enjoyed the near by Chinese restaurant and 1950s all-American themed restaurant. If exhausted, there are also eateries just below the apartment as is the bus station. A Carrefour supermarket is also just around the corner. The evenings were quiet and after a day packed with appreciating paintings, sculptures, Florentine ingenuity and creativity, my hubby enjoyed sitting at the patio watching the San Marco Museum and piazza bask in an ochre hue. Thank you Firenze and Tiberio for a memorable family vacation! The M family.
