About this property

Rinaldi Loft

Rinaldi Loft is a sophisticated retreat nestled in the historic centre, just a short walk from the Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi Gallery. Here, among quiet alleyways and buildings steeped in history, you can experience the city with the freedom of someone who already feels at home.
The loft combines the charm of the past with contemporary comfort: bright rooms, designer furnishings, and thoughtful details create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The living area with a fully equipped kitchen invites you to relax and enjoy time with friends and family, while the intimate and private master bedroom ensures a peaceful night’s sleep in the heart of Florence.

Located on a quiet pedestrian street, yet surrounded by traditional restaurants, boutiques, and architectural wonders, Rinaldi Loft is the ideal starting point for exploring the city at a leisurely pace, soaking in its authentic Florentine spirit.

The location is truly enviable, with the city’s main monuments and attractions just a few minutes’ walk away. Just a short walk away is “All’Antico Vinaio,” a famous culinary destination where you can savour one of Italy’s best sandwiches. Rinaldi Loft in Florence is therefore the ideal choice for a comfortable, elegant stay immersed in the authentic atmosphere of this Renaissance city.

Located on the ground floor of a 14th-century building, accessible via a gentle staircase of 17 steps, the loft has been completely renovated and furnished with modern, elegant taste, while preserving the charm of the historic structure. The historic setting of the apartment is full of charm: a castle belonging to the Altafronte family once stood here, destroyed by the flood of 1333, a memory of which lives on in the street’s name.

The space is laid out on a single level, quiet and bright, and is perfectly organised to offer maximum comfort. It features a sleeping area with a king-size bed, a double wardrobe, and an LCD TV; a living area with a sofa, a second LCD TV, and an extendable dining table that seats four people. The kitchen is fully equipped with a refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, kettle, toaster, American-style coffee maker, and everything you need to cook on your own.

The modern bathroom, with attention to detail, is equipped with a shower and a hair dryer. Guests also have access to independent heating, fans, free Wi-Fi, an iron, linens, towels, and, upon request, a cot.

Great location . Relatively close to everything. Just a few minutes to breakfast restaurants. Didn't need a taxi to get to any of the sightseeing spots. Very quiet building, don't really hear much of the tourist night life. Would recommend.

This property is an absolute gem! Perfectly situated near the Ponte Vecchio with easy access to both “sides” of Florence. The apartment is lovely with a living room, kitchen, dining space and dedicated sleeping area. It was wonderful to be able to do laundry (in unit) after a week of travel. The property owners were super accommodating and very responsive when we reached out. They also provided great local recommendations. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend you check out this property!

Florence Loft

The location of this apartment is fantastic. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed being able to walk to many of the sights we wanted to see and wandering the neighborhood at any time to enjoy the Florence culture. Isabella and Cecilia provided very good resources and we enjoyed many of them. Thanks for a memorable vacation. I would love to stay here again.

Apt review

Apt is exactly as pictured. Clean and in a great location. No natural sunlight and French terrace opens up into a vestibule that houses pigeons so door can not stay open. Overall, the location is great for a few days.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 November 2023
Dear Donald, thanks for your stay at Loft Cuore di Firenze. The apartment is located in the heart of Florence in a 14th century building that overlooks a narrow pedestrian street typical of the ancient city, where the sun only penetrates in the central hours and this allows the apartment to remain cool even on hot summer days.

Very central location

My wife and I had a great 5 night stay at Isabella and Cecilia's property. There was excellent communication leading up to the stay including some great info and recommendations. Apartment very tidy and a nice surprise of a bottle of wine left for us to enjoy. Easy walking distance to everything in the city centre. The only thing to be mindful of is the lane way can get noisy in the evening so pack your earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Overall it was a great stay.

Great central apartment in Florence

Great central apartment in a quiet section of central Florence. We were only two, but the apartment was large with a comfortable bed & great kitchen. Host was there to meet us upon arrival and showed us the apartment. Only complaint would be the lack of paper towels and soap for a three night stay. Scott R. (Texas)

Couldn’t be better!

We simply enjoyed our stay. The “loft” was our base for 10 days and was in a great location. Getting around by foot was easy as we were central to so many important spots and views. I commend the owners on advertising the rental exactly as it was in person. We had everything we needed and we felt very comfortable. I really can’t say enough. Mostly, Isabella and Cecilia went above and beyond in answering all of my emails, questions, and helping me in any way they could. They really were great!

First time in Florence

When we booked this, we had no idea where we were staying in downtown Florence. What a great location. Minutes from the effizi gallery and most of the major attractions. The ladies take great pride in the apartment. Even though there is no air conditioning, we had two fans to keep us cool. Thanks for the bottle of wine. We will recommend you to our friends. Ciao
