Live in a 13th century building, in the historic heart of the city. The apartment is charmingly furnished, with every modern convenience: WiFi, reverse cycle air-conditioning, cook's kitchen with dishwasher & double sink.
Free maps, Smart TV, books, music & DVDs. It is 2 minutes from the Uffizzi Gallery, the famous Duomo, the Pitti Palace, the famous Straw Market, the Gold Market on the Ponte Vecchio. The little street gives onto Piazza della Signoria, but is closed to traffic & therefore is calm & quiet.

You are surrounded by every service -- cafes, bars, restaurants, cinema, food shops and more. We also have someone to meet you on arrival and explain all about the apartment -- keys, heating etc. and to be available for any other queries you may have.

The apartment is on what is called the first floor it Italy, but is really the second floor because there is a mezzanine in between. There is no elevator because the building is 800 years old and is under heritage laws that don't allow it. There are three flights of steps with landings in between. They are not difficult, but they are not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.


Florence is the ideal base for exploring much of Italy. High-speed trains take you to Rome and Milan in a couple of hours. Half an hour to Bologna.
Day-trips to many of the beautiful towns and villages ofTuscany, Reggio-Emilia and Umbria, which are only an hour or so away by train and car.

A private haven right in the heart of the bustling city
It's hard to imagine how quickly you leave the busy city behind, but as soon as you open the big wooden door and go up the stairs to the apartment, you've come home. From the incredible high ceilings with the curved corners to the historic details throughout the home, you can see that the owner relishes living in Florence. Everyone of her recommendations was invaluable and appreciated. The apartment is perfectly furnished and well supplied. We are delighted that she agreed to share it with us.

Location is awesome
The communication we had with the owner was some of the best we have had in decades of renting vacation apartments. The apartment was larger than we had expected and everything was comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare occasional meals - although with all the nice restaurants in the very close vicinity, not done as often as planned. The only caveat - and it is clearly stated in the listing - are the stairs. We are seniors and although we didn't have too much trouble, we did limit our comings and goings. I would still stay in this lovely apartment again for as long as I can manage the stairs.

Location, location, location
Awesome location. Shops and restaurants surround the location and only 1.5 blocks from Duomo Square. Owner and manager were very proactive. It does get loud some nights. It is just a half block from a bar that is open very late and the noise bounces off all the stone and masonry down the street. Lots of good instructions on how to use all the appliances. Main problem problem with flat is that the twin beds have week springs such that you are prone to roll to one side or the other. And "first floor" is not ground floor in Florence. Roughly two flights of stairs to the flat.

Florence find
This was the most beautiful VRbO property we have ever stayed in. It was magical! The decor and ambiance set the mood for the beautiful city of Florence. It was old world but had modern amenities. It was huge and very reasonably priced for the size and area of town. We could walk anywhere within 5 to 10 minutes, Even though it was in the middle of the city, the windows shut very tightly and blocked out all of the noise. We absolutely loved staying here and will hopefully stay again.

Home in the heart of historic Florence
Florence was unusually crowded for October, but we had a couple of things going for us that made it much easier to tolerate the crowds. First was a lot of advance planning and ordering tickets to the most popular sites scheduled for early morning. Second was always knowing we had Convivio Apartment to come home to whenever we needed a break. With such an amazingly convenient location, we were seldom more than 10-15 minutes away from our "home". Once there, in the ancient but comfortable and spacious rooms, we still felt immersed in the city. We were very grateful to Janine for sharing the apartment where she lives for part of the year.
