About this property
Zen Island downtown Florence, new apartment for 6
Here is a polished, fluent, and error-free version in perfect English, with a refined tone suitable for luxury hospitality listings (Airbnb / Booking / website), without changing the meaning:
Zen Island Downtown Florence is a spacious 95-square-meter apartment featuring three double bedrooms, ideal for accommodating up to 6 guests. Located in the very heart of the historic center, in the lively San Lorenzo district, the property is just 3 minutes’ walk from the majestic Duomo and 11 minutes from Santa Maria Novella (SMN) train station. Fully renovated, it boasts a private outdoor courtyard that creates a peaceful oasis of relaxation, making it the perfect choice for holiday rentals in Florence for families and groups.
Comfort and Design in a Historic Florentine Palace
Situated on the first floor of an 18th-century building (with elevator), the apartment blends historic charm with a modern and distinctive design. Many of the furnishings are original creations by our hosts, adding a personal and artistic touch to the space.
Each bedroom is equipped with a double bed, Smart TV, and air conditioning, ensuring maximum comfort for all guests.
Exclusive Services for a Carefree Stay
Free Wi-Fi: Stay connected at all times.
Self check-in: Maximum convenience and flexibility upon arrival.
Washer-dryer: Ideal for longer stays.
Bed linen, towels, and essentials: Everything you need for both the bathroom and kitchen is included.
Fully equipped kitchen: Prepare breakfast, lunch, or dinner independently.
Private courtyard: An exclusive outdoor space where you can relax on the sofa.
Coffee machine: With complimentary coffee and tea.
Thanks to its central location, there’s no need to use public transport—all major monuments and museums can be reached on foot. In each room, you’ll find a local guide featuring Florence’s highlights and our favorite bars and restaurants.
Luggage storage is available before check-in and after check-out, allowing you to explore the city freely and without worries.
Explore the Heart of Florence: San Lorenzo and Beyond
The San Lorenzo district is famous for its vibrant open-air market, where you can find leather bags and jackets, open daily. In the same square, you’ll also find the Central Market, a true paradise for food lovers:
Ground floor: Open until 2:00 pm (closed on Sundays), offering fresh fruit, handmade pasta, butcher shops, fishmongers, bakeries, delicatessens, and an excellent restaurant.
Upper floor: Open daily until midnight, featuring bars, restaurants, pizzerias, gelaterias, and a traditional wine bar.
The neighborhood is also home to many other excellent restaurants and bars that we’ll be happy to recommend.
Partner Parking and Exclusive Tours
Partner Parking: Garage Michelangelo, just 4 minutes’ walk away, offers a special rate for our guests (€30 for 24 hours, ZTL access included).
Villa Costanza Parking: Located outside the city center (€7 for 24 hours), with a direct tram to the center (approx. 20 minutes).
Santa Maria Novella train station is only 11 minutes on foot, making it easy to reach destinations such as Piazzale Michelangelo, Fiesole, Siena, Pisa, and other charming Tuscan locations.
Don’t miss the opportunity to join a wine tour to the oldest winery in Tuscany, including a guided visit, wine tasting with local snacks, and a stop in the picturesque village of Greve in Chianti.
Upon request, we are happy to provide a baby cot and high chair free of charge for our youngest guests.
