Location, location, location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Florentine Renaissance apartment. It was spacious, comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. Best of all was the location. We were able to walk everywhere, rarely needing to get a cab. Central market is located right behind the apartment where you are able to find some great deals. We enjoyed the Tratorria Zaza restaurant around the corner (reservations highly recommended). Ate there a couple of times. Food is delicious and reasonable. Fabrizio and Diego were great with communication. Highly recommend!

Exceeded Expectations

I cannot say enough about our three nights spent at The Florentine Renaissance (Duomo). The host was very accommodating and went out of their way to take care of us. My wife & I loved the eclectic, quirky interior design which was very spacious and comfortable. The location was perfect for walking to any location throughout the city of Florence. If you are able to book one of the private tours offered by the host, Fabrizio, do not hesitate. Fabrizio is a gem and a true Italian Gentleman. He took my wife & I on a private tour through the Chianti region visiting small villages for shopping and cappuccinos as well as unique private wine tours. This was one of the highlights of our ten day trip to Italy and Fabrizio's kind spirit, knowledge of the area and connections to the locals exceeded our expectations for the day. We cannot thank him enough.

What a unique spot right in the heart of Florence!!

This place is perfectly situated in one of the best parts of Florence. We were able to walk EVERYWHERE, even with 3 kids. There was also a helpful supermarket around the corner for basics and a contact who was there for us at any point of the stay if we had questions or needed recommendations. We loved it!!

Fantastic Florence Find!

My friend and I stayed at this property for a week and it was perfect. It has a chic and historic vibe, and the location couldn’t be better. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go in town and felt safe doing so from the location. Diego helped us get settled and brought us bread for breakfast, and the host provided wine as well. We loved our stay here and would absolutely book again!

Spectacular Location

Close to the train station and the Duomo. The livingroom and bedroom are very big but the bathroom is very small. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. It was great to have the elevator to bring our luggage up. The small shower was a challenge for us as we are both tall.The hosts are helpful and communication was excellent.

Perfect for a quick Florentine visit

Myself & 2 of my children 17 & 15 stayed here for a few days after their choir tour. The apartment is clean, spacious, & quirky. Very easy to get to & steps away from the Duomo. We were so happy to have the washing machine to clean all our clothing we’d been wearing for the week. Diego was very helpful getting us checked in and responding to any of our queries. The AC & fans keep the apartment nice & cool & while there are a few stairs to climb to get to the apartment itself, the small elevator made the transportation of our luggage a snap. While I think it may be a challenge to have more than 3 people stay here it was perfect for us!

Florence in May

We enjoyed staying at this apartment. Check in was easy with Diego. The apartment was clean and had lots of room. The location was excellent and we easily walked everywhere around the city. There were lots of steps up to the apt but there is a tiny elevator which was great for our luggage. We were happy to be able to do our laundry but there was no dryer as advertised… just a drying rack. There was also no hot tub or spa tub or outdoor space/garden that was shown to us. Overall a great place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Fabrizio

Host profile image
I am passionate about music from the 1960s and 70s, and play in a band when time permits. I love animals, sports, good cinema, travel, and I love the arts. I love meeting new people, and I am passionate about my Florence and Tuscany.

Why they chose this property

This is the original centre of Renaissance Florence. Just steps from
the appartment is the Medici-Riccardi Palace, home of the powerful
Medici family, who ruled Florence, and brought it to the world stage during the renaissance. This area is a mix of small craftsmens' workshops and monumental florentine grandeur, and this mix makes it a very special and unusual part of my city. I love the idea that the Medici, and artists like Michelangelo once walked these streets.

What makes this property unique

This apartment is right in the centre of the historical centre, with easy access to all of Florence's monuments, galleries and amenities, yet it offers pretty views, plenty of light, and it is on a quiet street. This is an extraordinary combination for historical Florence. Its colours and proportions make it welcoming, warm and restful, so it's perfect after a day on your feet.
