About this property

The Swallows' Nest Family Apartment

An entire bright, very clean and stylish apartment to feel at home away from home. Enviable position in the vibrant Via Gioberti area with wide range of shops, bars, restaurants and quick, convenient access to the heart of the city.

***FINAL CLEANING FEE 60 EUR to be paid at check in***

Enjoy the comfort of a relaxed stay in this fully equipped apartment with touches of design items and pieces of furniture.

Perfect for couple, friends and families with children (baby cot available upon request at the cost of Euro 20,00)

AT YOUR DISPOSAL:
A spacious (95 m2), very bright and completely renewed apartment on the second and last floor of a typical 1930th Florentine building, sleeping 4 people, with 2 bedrooms, 10 minutes by bus from Duomo, free WI-FI, independent heating system.

COMPOSED BY:
Dining room & kitchenette, provided with stove and oven, fridge and freezer, microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher, a complete set of kitchenware
Living room whit sofa, coffee table and bookshelves with many Italian and English books
1 Master Bedroom with laminate floor, double bed, built-in wardrobes, night tables, reading lamps, air conditioning
1 Bedroom with 1 futon sofa bed (sleeping 2 if necessary), built-in wardrobes, night table, reading lamp, air conditioning
1 Bathroom with wash basin, shower, bidet, toilet, hair dryer, mirror
1 Toilet with wash basin, washing machine, ironing facilities
1 Small terrace on the roof

The apartment is organized on 2 levels (the 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom are upstairs), has intercom, air conditioning in the two bedrooms, mosquito screens on every window - very useful especially in Summertime! - and anything you may need for an unforgettable stay in Florence.

A Lift/Elevator is also present in the building.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
The apartment is located next to one of the most appealing streets of Florence for shop-aholics, Via Gioberti. Via Gioberti is nicknamed 'Via delle Centovetrine' ('the road of one hundred shopfronts'), and is illuminated by restaurants, cafes, gelaterie, fashion stores, jewellers, bakeries, perfumeries, supermarkets and department stores, etc... Shopping in this area is indeed cheaper than in the rest of the city as the area is located just outside the main city boulevards (that pass through Piazza Beccaria and mark the border of the historical centre) but it's still within walking distance from the main attractions.

YOU ARE ONLY:
BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT (BUS 14 & 6):
(bus stop next to the main door or within 3 minutes walking distance)
10 minutes from Duomo
12 minutes from Central Station

BY FOOT: 15 minutes from Sant’Ambrogio/Santa Croce area

BY CAR: 5 minutes from the city center.

PARKING:
Parking in the city center is not allowed to non resident.
On the contrary, the great thing about my apartment is that parking is easy and can be done in the street or in the streets nearby at the maximum cost of Euro 12 a day (Sunday and Public Holidays parking is for free!). Should you prefer a 24/7 surveilled city car parking, then Parking Alberti is located right around the corner (2 minutes by foot) where you can park at the cost of Euro 20 a day or Euro 70 a week.
What a great opportunity to use my property as a perfect base to discover by car the beautiful cities and landscapes that Tuscany has to offer you!

QUIETNESS:
As opposed to other apartments in the city center, you will fully enjoy the tranquility of this area, far better than the noisy narrow medieval streets packed with people that will often prevent you from sleeping at night.

CHECK IN PROCEDURE:
As this is not a hotel (but the personal assistance is far better, trust me!), and therefore there is no 24/7 reception duty, in order to organize the check in I will need the exact time of your arrival at the apartment. I will allow a maximum of 30 minutes of delay, after which we may leave the place and you will need to schedule another appointment by calling us directly.
Late check in (after 8pm) - € 30 to be paid at check in

The Florence City Council instituted an obligatory CITY TAX for all stays by visitors who are non-residents of Florence for a maximum of 7 consecutive nights.
The tax amount is € 5,50 per person per night.
Children under 12 years old are exempt.
The city tax must be paid in cash at the check in.

Charming and comfortable
The apartment is pleasant and comfortable, within walking distance to attractions like the Uffizi gallery, or the bus stops. AC in the bedroom was most welcome as we were there during a warm spell. The pictures of the apartment are a bit outdated, e.g., there weren't two bookshelves on either side of a TV. Communication from the owner only started three days before arrival, which was a bit disconcerting, but then replies to my texts were rapid. Overall, we were very pleased.

Great Service
Wonderful property and the owners couldn’t be any kinder. Keep in mind that the AC is only in the master bedroom. The Wi-Fi also doesn’t connect when in the bedroom but it does in the living room. The owners couldn’t be any nicer.
