About this property

MY FLORENCE HOME SANTA CROCE: the lovely oasis of calm away from the crowds

Welcome in “your” house in the heart of Florence.
Today more than ever, your well-being and your safety are particularly important to us. For this reason, we have further improved our cleaning service by following the rules of the World Health Organization and by using specific anti-Covid19 disinfectant products. Our apartment, a few steps away from the Duomo and from the marvellous Piazza Santa Croce, is located in Florence's most typical area, where you'll find old artisans' boutiques, fashion stores, and local grocery (St. Ambrogio's Market) and flea market (Piazza dei Ciompi's Market).
The apartment is right beside Michelangelo's house, and amidst beautiful historic buildings.
Florence's wonders are within walking distance: in a few minutes you can reach the Duomo, Santa Croce, Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria, the Uffizi gallery, Piazza Pitti, Boboli Garden and the most famous shopping sites, such as Via Tornabuoni, Via della Vigna Nuova and Via Calzaiuoli.
Our 94sqm apartment was recently and elegantly renewed, and it's located at the 1st floor of a XV Century's building. Peace and quiet are ensured, since there are no windows facing the streets: all windows face the wonderful internal patio, a green and peaceful oasis, ideal to relax in the evenings or have breakfast in the morning. Light dominates every room of the apartment, thanks to high ceilings and bright, wide windows. We worked really hard to give you a place where you can feel the cozy and warm embrace of a real home, starting from the wide open space where a fully stocked kitchen, a comfortable dining room and a cozy living room are combined in a perfect balance, in addition to a windowed bathroom. In a little studio-area between dining room and bedroom, you will find plenty of touristic informations, maps and directions, for you to use during your stay. The bedroom is separated from the open day-time space, to ensure you intimacy and privacy., adding a romantic and classy feel to it. This room can accommodate two adults and a child (in an extra bed). Also, the bedroom has its private windowed bathroom.
Our apartment's main services are: air conditioning, wi-fi, SAT TV, Nintendo Wii, washing machine, microwave oven, ironing board and iron, hair dryier, fully stored kitchen, linens and towels.
It is a pleasure for us to meet you at the apartment at arrival, to give you all the informations you may need about the apartment and St. Ambrogio's neighbourhood. We can give you our “insider tips” and organize for you special tours in non-touristic and more typical parts of the city, or even one-day trips outside town. At arrival you will find maps and brochures, along with a mini-guide wirh our special suggestions, for you to live Florence as a real florentine. We are always give our guests our phone numbers, for any request during your stay, and a list of other useful numbers.

A Wonderful Stay
I can't say enough positive things about this apartment and my 8 night stay. The owners/landlords, Loredana and Stephano, were both great.... leading up to my stay, and during check-in and check-out. The apartment has everything you would ever need to have an enjoyable stay and is in a great location and neighbourhood. Everything is within easy walking distance, including the train station and all of the sights of Florence. I do not hesitate to recommend this apartment for your trip to Florence and I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing holiday home!
My partner and I stayed here in July 2023 and we couldn’t have lucked out with a better “home away from home”. Loredana and Stefano were the absolute perfect hosts, giving us so many wonderful tips and ideas for how to make our time in Florence so memorable. The location is also unparalleled — we were close enough to walk to all of the best attractions and restaurants and even the train station, but far enough away that it was quiet and felt more like we were in a living neighbourbood. The apartment itself is spacious, had everything we needed to cook and clean and relax in between outings, and the bed was incredibly comfortable! We can’t say enough about how wonderful this was. If we are fortunate enough to visit Florence in the future, we hope we can stay here again!

My Florence Home
We spent 5 weeks in this unit and enjoyed every minute. The location was perfect. All of the major sites were easily within walking distance. The nearby market was perfect for fresh food shopping and the experience made us feel like locals. Stefano provided us with an excellent introduction to the unit and his recommendations were greatly appreciated. All in all we would highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Loredana Vigna

Host profile image
Since 1992 I am working as Operations Marketing Manager for the most important Italian Hotel Chain. I am married and I have a doughter. I love reading, traveling, watching movies and cooking. My passion is theater; I'm a perfectionist, I like to do things better. My motto is ' carpe diem'.

Why they chose this property

The apartment is located in one of Florence's most historical neghbourhoods, St. Ambrogio, one of the most typical and lively areas of the city. A lot of Florentines have lived here for generations, and for a reason: the area is full of markets, shops, workshops, nice typical restaurants and cafès, theaters and cinemas. During spring and summer a lot of outdoor concerts and entertainments can be found.

What makes this property unique

From the apartment everything is at walking distance, but there are many ways to get around in Florence, and bus stops heading different directions are just down the street (you will always find a train and bus map at home). If you're travelling by car, there's a special arrangment with a parking nearby, that we can book for you in advance. From the airport, if you're travelling with some heavy luggage, it might be easyer to get to My Florence Home by cab – Florence is a small city, the rates shouldn't be outrageous. From Central Train Station, Santa Maria Novella, you can choose to take a cab, bus n. 14 (“Via Verdi” stop), or choose to take an easy 15/20 min. walk to the apartment: if you have light luggage it might be worth the effort, since you'd be passing by the Duomo and other beautiful sights of the city.
