Romantic Apartment With Garden 2 Minutes' Walk From Pitti Palace

Santo Spirito-Piazza Pitti apartment with garden sleeps 2/4.
This newly-renovated apartment is located on the first floor of an old building 50 metres from Piazza Pitti. It is about 45 square metres and has the rare feature of a beautiful walled garden which, being at the back of the building, is a haven of peace and birdsong in the centre of the city.
The living room has a mezzanine floor with a double bed. On the lower level is a comfortable sofa bed and seating area, large wardrobe, desk and work area with internet connection and large window overlooking the garden.
The spacious kitchen has a traditional marble-topped table that seats four comfortably, an armchair corner and a door leading out onto the garden.
The bathroom is done out in pale stone with slate grey tiling on the floor: it is contemporary and chic and really quite large for an apartment of this size. There is a small storage room too.
There are oak floors throughout.
The garden has jasmine and antique roses climbing the walls and fresh herbs for use in your Tuscan cooking: a table and chairs provide a perfect spot for al fresco meals and aperitivi.
Although we are at present renting this apartment out, we have deliberately restored it with a view to using it as our own pied-a-terre in Florence one day, so we have not cut corners!
There is a private garage for parking 5 minutes walk away (not ours); there is a daily charge.

Lovely property
Nicky was a wonderful hostess. She greeted us when we arrived and gave us a heads up on everything. The property is so lovely and in an excellent position. We very much enjoyed our stay. It is on the “quieter” side of the river and a nice haven after a busy day of sightseeing. Kathryn and Dewey Sloan Melbourne, Australia.

Excellent aparment
This apartment is wonderful. Ideally located for the major sites in Florence. Easy to walk everywhere from the apartment. The apartment is spacious and light with a very pleasant garden. The host is very helpful and lives in the same neighborhood, in fact we ran into her one afternoon. The recommendations for food were spot on.

Wonderful private garden in Florence
Great location! Outside the crowds but close to everything. We had a wonderful time having cappucino every mornimg at Cafe Bellini and watching people at the Pitti Palace. The roses were in bloom in the private garden, the bed was comfortable and the shower was great after long days of walking. A perfect place for 2 wks. Nicky was very friendly and communicated well with us. I would highly recommend!

Excellent Location! Excellent Host!
This cozy apartment in Florence met all of our expectations. The host went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. She was very flexible with our arrival times and even welcomed us with a tasty treat and chilled prosecco. Nicky also arranged a taxi for our departure as we were having an issue reaching the company. The apartment was very convenient to the train station as well as the many things to see in Florence. Would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting this area.

Lovely apartment in quiet area.
This very comfortable, well equipped apartment is as shown in the photographs. We have stayed in Florence several times and we particularly enjoyed being in the Oltrano area - close enough to walk everywhere, but away from the frenetic, noisy busyness that is most of Florence. The kitchen is great, very well equipped and very roomy by Italian standards, as is the bathroom. The garden courtyard is an excellent bonus and although we didn’t use it much, being winter, it would be wonderful during the other times of the year. Nicky is a gracious and attentive host and the booking, check in and stay all went very smoothly.

Beautiful, well-maintained garden apartment in the lovely San Spirito neighborhood in central Florence. We were able to walk everywhere we needed to get to; museums, trattorias/cafes, spits of interest, etc. in the city center but yet quiet and secluded, with our own private garden! We would stay here again for sure!! very helpful

Lovely apartment in a great neighbourhood
Location was terrific - it felt like a residential area but was within walking distance of everything we wanted to see and experience. Lots of great restaurants in the neighbourhood. Nicky was a wonderful host, very communicative and responsive. Her information package was really useful. The garden is such a wonderful feature. Enjoying a relaxing breakfast on Sunday morning outside, listening to the church bells, was a highlight. The apartment is well appointed and lovely and clean. Having access to a washer was greatly appreciated. We really enjoyed our stay, only wish it could have been longer!

Nicky was an amazing host. The apartment was just as described. Great location near sites, grocery stores, and restaurants. Nicky had a very comprehensive book with all the need to know facts and she was just a phone call away if we needed anything. Bonus was the air conditioning since it was very warm during our stay. Would definitely recommend.

Great getaway with hubby
Communication was excellent. Our location was so central to walking everywhere we wanted to go in Florence. It is indeed a walking city and this home is perfect. If you have a car, plan ahead and park at Garage Fosi. They will give the police your license plate so that you are good to go in the LTZ. Please learn about LTZ if you're going to have a car. The garden is so quiet and peaceful. Bedroom nice and dark. Shower has such great pressure. Nice greeting with chips and vino. There is a good, small supermarket to the left on the right. Ponte Vecchio is 5 minutes away. We were out from morning to night and, as I said, the location was PERFECTO! Thank you also to the host's friend Raquel who was such a perfect welcomer. Her smile is radiant and her hugs are the best.

Home from home
We loved our 2 weeks here. Fantastic location and everything you could possibly need in the apartment. Also a lovely little garden to sit in with a glass of prosecco at the end of a busy day. My husband really enjoyed watering the garden every evening with the hosepipe! Nicky, being English, made communication simplicity itself and although we never got to meet her, (she was working away) we did have the pleasure of checking in with Raquel who waited so patiently for us when we were a little late. Thank you so much, we'll defo be back...maybe in the autumn next time, when it's not so hot! Thank goodness for Nicky's fabulous air conditioning! X

Tranquility Across the Arno
From the moment Nicky opened the door, this bright space of tranquility revealed itself. I instantly felt back at home. Each detail described was accurate from the sizable patio to comfortable sleeping quarters. Nicky was thorough in explaining the keys as well as use of the many amenities. Located within minutes of the Ponte Vecchio, the heart of Florence is right at your fingertips. Next time you are planning to visit Florence for a day, a week, or longer, you do not need to search anywhere else.
