Luxury Apartment with terrace in the heart of Florence
Welcome to the heart of Florence. Experience living in a true palace and walking to all the sights in this city treasured for its art. This apartment is especially large and luminous with comfortable and gracious living room with a view of warm Florenting rooftops that you will remember for a lifetime.
If you are a larger party, there are several more vacation rental apartments within this same building.
The location is excellent, right on Piazza Antinori. There is bound to be some traffic noise in this bustling district, but your 4th floor (American) location will mitigate that. And, after all, you are in a city. This also means that there is a shop for each and everything you need or want in the neighborhood. This quarter of Florence has been home to important Florentine families since the mid 1600s.
The building has retained the clean and simple architecture of the Renaissance period when it was first built. Renovated over the centuries, the building acquired its present appearance in the mid 1700s. The building has a doorman during business hours.
The entry hall opens into the dining room and then an open Tuscan brick archway leads into the living room that is beatifully decorated with rust and gold on a foundation of green. There are two sofas and four armchairs, so room for all guests and company. Over the largest sofa is a pretty trompe l'oeil Tuscan landscape. Guests can't wait to enjoy the large (270 square feet) private terrace where you can enjoy eating al fresco a joy of Italy. The view is of adjoining rooftops. There is an awning that can be cranked out to shade warm days.
The master-bedroom has a king-size bed, period furniture and a large walk-in closet; adjacent to the bedroom is the bathroom with tub and separate shower.
The two further bedrooms both have twin beds that can be combined, on request, to form a king sized bed. Each room has a spacious wardrobe and pretty painted furniture as well as handsome fabrics. There are two more bathrooms one with tub and another with shower.
The kitchen is spacious and complete with all modern appliances.

| Truly Perfect | Jul 2010 |
The Giovanna apartment was ideal for the six of us (three couples) during our two-week stay in Florence. It was centrally located near the Duomo and the railroad station, allowing us to explore the entire city on foot and venture out into Tuscany and to Cinque Terre on wonderful day trips. The apartment was extremely quiet, beautifully furnished and maintained, and the service was excellent. The three bedrooms and bathrooms offered privacy, while the large living room and charming terrace provided great places to get together. The kitchen was well-appointed, making it easy for us to "picnic" on our favorite market foods and local wine when we felt like staying in. Once, when the air conditioner stopped working, Christiana from the office arranged for a maintenance man to come right up, and he fixed it immediately and cheerfully. Christiana was also available to help us with tour information. It was especially convenient to have the management office downstairs from the apartment.I would recommend the Taste Florence food tour, Caffè Coquinarius on Via delle Ocche for dinner (try the ravioli with pear and pecorino), and the Buca Mario, around the corner from the apartment. Altogether a perfect accommodation, and we would definitely return. |

We were extremely happy with the apartment: furnishings, facilities, location, the staff. Our recommendation would be to clarify that there is no dryer available, and the cleaning charges. |
