Two enviable hideaways on a cobbled street high on a hill, both with stunning views next to Galileo's house, the Villa Bardini and gardens

You're in a quiet, residential area so you'll hear birds singing and the agreeable sound of neighbours speaking Italian. Both apartments are snug and comfortable with a cheery design and elegant touches. 'View' has extra large windows and big mirrors so you take in the views and reflections of rooftops and trees framing the heart of Florence. 'Heart' looks onto Costa San Giorgio and Galileo's garden. Spending rainy hours indoors will not be a problem.

Kitchenettes are modern and practical and you're left a simple breakfast of coffee, tea, milk, biscuits and jam for your first morning. Bedrooms have generous mattresses and linen and more views so you can meditate on important monuments without getting up; bathrooms each have a shower, good lighting and 'Frette' towels.

A brisk five-minute walk down towards the Ponte Vecchio will take you to wonderful places to eat local dishes, try a hundred different ice creams, taste wines or shop. It's a grand spot.

Local points of interest from Massimo Ceccuzzi:

Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Massimo Ceccuzzi:

  • We are in the centre of the oldest heart of the City and no distance between our Suites and the main monuments exceeds 2 and a half kilometres (about 15 minutes on foot).
  • Despite the location 300 meters from the Ponte Vecchio and the lively neighbourhood of San Niccolò, silence envelops these houses, and in the morning you will hear the birds singing from the gardens all around.
  • Palazzo Pitti, Boboli Garden and Santo Spirito district a few mins walking, Uffizi Gallery and Piazza della Signoria just in front of our window (over the river Arno).
  • 'View' apartment opens wide to the city and Florence’s most famous monuments; the Duomo with its dome, Palazzo Vecchio, Santa Croce and the Arno river seem to “leap” into the house through its two windows.
  • 'Heart' apartment is in front of the house in which Galileo Galilei did his telescope studies, and our windows overlook the small garden of his house across the street, where it is easy to imagine Galileo gazing at the stars.
  • You will find Max to welcome you, a family man, not an employee of an Agency, ready to give you all the information and suggestions about the city where he was born and where he lives.
