Elegant and comfortable apartment near the Duomo. The perfect location.

Completely updated to the highest quality, Brunelleschi is an elegant and spacious apartment provided with pretty much everything you could think of. With its space and light it is perfect for a large family and ideal for those visitors who want to stay longer in Florence with all the home's comforts and feel like the Florentines!
Undoubtedly a true luxury in the heart of Florence.
All the main monuments and museums, the best dining and shopping are a few steps away.
Really a perfect location!
Located on the fourth floor of a late 19th century elegant building with elevator, the 122 sq meters apartment is fully refurbished and well designed and consists of a living room, a dining area with a large table which can easily accommodate up to 8 people, two spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, one with shower and the other with bathtub and shower, a fully equipped kitchen. All rooms are very spacious with lots of natural light and all provided with air conditioning. The master bedroom, so called the "Blue Room", has a private bathroom, a king size bed and a single bed, the second bedroom, the "Green Room" has a king size bed and a single bed. The living room has a comfortable sofa which can be turned into a double bed. The apartment is recommended for 6 people but can comfortably host up to 8 guests at an additional cost and upon request.
The apartment is located in the oldest part of Florence, a few steps from the Duomo and Repubblica square.
The Duomo has always been the heart of the city, the religious centre as well as the stage for most of the city's events such as " The Scoppio del Carro " on Easter Sunday and St. John's day celebration on june 24. ( Florence's patron saint ). The Piazza del Duomo is a must see in Florence and a perfect start for a visit through the history and art of the vibrant city centre. The cathedral and its Brunelleschi's dome, the baptistery, the Giotto's bell tower and the Museo of The Opera del Duomo stand all in the square with their shiny polychromatic marbles and overwhelming architecture. The nearby Piazza della Repubblica, which was the Roman Forum of the old Florentia, is nowadays, with its 19th century look, the square of the oldest cafes of Florence such as Gilli Cafè founded in 1733.
Within a 10 minutes walk you can reach the Accademia, home of the worldwide famous David by Michelangelo and the Uffizi Gallery which hosts the largest renaissance paintings' collection in the world. You can take a nice stroll through the nearby district of San Lorenzo and reach the " Mercato Centrale " to taste delicious food, experience local flavours and enjoy the market atmosphere.
The shopping District and its glamorous Italian designers boutiques is just around the corner!
The apartment is near the main transportation hub (700 mt) which is Santa Maria Novella train station connected with High speed trains to all major Italian cities (Rome, Venice, Milan, Bologna, Naples).
T2 (Tramway line) connects the airport of Florence to the train station SMN in approx. 20 minutes.
C2 bus connects the train station to the apartment (stop: ROMA DUOMO, 100 mt)
C4 bus connects the apartment to Santa Maria Novella station.
TAXI area is around the corner (30 mt)
If you arrive in Florence by car, we would like to remind you that the most part of Florence city center is a traffic limited area which means that there are many restrictions and limitations for those who are not residents. Do not hesitate to contact us for further info on private parking. There are several private guarded garages nearby the train station of SMN and the apartment.

We spent 6 nights at the property. It was exactly as advertised. Communication with the hosts was excellent, the property was spotless and you cannot ask for a better location. Everything is a short walk away. I would highly recommend the property and will definitely stay again when we return to Florence.

Great stay in the heart of Florence

We had a great stay in the apartment. Check in was easy and communication was good. The apartment was clean, well stocked, and spacious. Plenty of room for the four of us, and there would have been room for up to 8. It was stocked with coffee, pasta, and a bottle of wine. Close proximity to restaurants, the Duomo, and cafes. Would definitely stay again.

Marvelous apartment, ideal location

This apartment is beautiful, spacious and clean. We easily connected with our many scheduled tours since it is in a great location close to all the major sites. It was lovely to stroll the streets and to the nearby river in the morning and evening. Our hosts provided lots of helpful tips for exploring Florence.

Now it's perfect

If you read all the reviews you will notice only one drawback, the street noise. The owners have now replaced all the windows with state of the art noise cancelling window glass and shutters. With the windows shut there is absolutely no noise. This place is perfect. It's spacious and immaculately clean and if you put a pin in the center of everything you want to see in Florence you would hit this location. You won't go wrong booking this place.

Great Location and Excellent Hosts

Valeria and Chiara are wonderful hosts, very helpful, friendly, and responsive. The apartment is beautiful and spacious, easily large enough for two couples and more. The only drawback may be that it’s a bit noisy outside at night but that’s exactly what you’d expect being right in the middle of all the major sights. It’s within walking distance of all the major attractions. We would definitely stay here again if we make it back to Florence in the future.

Beautiful Flat in Excellent Location and Easy Walking to Major Locations

This apartment was perfect for our stop in Florence in our travels of Italy. The photos on VRBO are an accurate representation of what we encountered, so we were very pleased. Chiara was extremely personable and gave us excellent service in communication, from pre-booking questions, check-in, suggestions, and tips. The flat was immaculately clean, spacious, and with a well-stocked kitchen. The basket of pasta, sauce, and a bottle of wine was a nice welcoming touch! It was the perfect size apartment with plenty of room for 2 couples. The location was ideal for walking distance to just about everything you want to see in Florence, including the Duomo, Uffizi Museum, restaurants, cafes and shopping. You won't go wrong booking this place, we would definitely book this flat again in the future!

Convenient location and comfortable accommodations

We loved our stay in Florence and the unit was so convenient in terms of being within walking distance of so many sites. We did not use any public or private transportation for our five night stay. We passed through the duomo and accompanying church site many times on our way to other areas. To other travelers, the double beds actually turned out to be king size beds by US standards which was a pleasant surprise. Unit was clean and well equipped.

May in Florence

The pictures matched just what we found. The location on Florence is excellent. We were planning 3 day trips from Florence so the location close to the train and bus stations were excellent. The communication with the property manager was excellent and VERY prompt. the manager even helped set up a very early morning taxi to the airport. This was by far the best VRBO property we stayed at. The apartment was well stocked. Plenty of dishes washing supplies.

Spacious property in a great location

The flat was clean and very spacious, just as the listing described. Hosts were very helpful with suggesting nearby sights to see and helped with transportation recommendations. It’s was a great location with major attractions and restaurants all within walking distance. One minor downside in staying in such a convenient location is the noise. We arrived on a flight from the US on a Saturday morning and by 10pm we were ready to sleep. On a Saturday evening the neighborhood, as expected, was a little noisy. If you want to be close to all the sights and have many great dining options within walking distance this is a great place to stay!

Staying at the Piazza Della Repubblica

The unit is centrally location, close to all attractions and restaurants. The shower in the second bathroom is not working properly and water tends to leak from the base of the shower glass panel. Also it was hard to shower with one hand holding the shower head as the hook on the wall does not hold it in place and water is spraying all over the tub area. Also, the elevator was not working one night and we had to call for help and waited for about half hour. Other than that everything is fine.

We had an excellent stay at the apartment. The location is in the center of everything. It’s easy to get to many interesting places with a quick walk. There is noise at night from people at bars and live music, but it’s difficult to find a place in a city center without noise.

Outstanding Location with Great Host

We loved our stay at the Blue Bedroom apartment (one bedroom is blue, the other green). Location is outstanding. Very close to Duomo and easy walks to Accademia and Uffizi. Valeria, the main host for us with whom we had most contact, was great. Oriented is well on check in and responded to questions on places to eat and shop with excellent, timely suggestions. Only thing to think about: being right in the thick of things, you’ll have overnight street noise and activity. Hard to avoid. All told: we were very happy with our choice and the apartment.
