Set at the foot of Piazzale Michelangelo, this loft lies in one of Florence’s greenest and most sought-after pockets – quiet, elevated and still walkable to the historic centre. The Rose Garden is directly opposite (free to enter), making morning strolls and sunset views part of the routine, while Ponte Vecchio is around fifteen minutes on foot. Inside, the layout is open and airy, with a glass-partitioned bedroom, additional sleeping in a walk-through studio, two bathrooms with chromotherapy features, and a private courtyard for downtime away from the crowds. It’s best suited to guests who don't mind sharing their space and who love walking everywhere – parking is possible nearby on the street, but having a car isn’t essential here.

Home truths
The space is a large open-plan loft – rooms are divided by glass doors rather than solid walls, which gives it a bright, airy feel but less acoustic separation than a traditional apartment.
You’ll have independent street access and exclusive use of the apartment and private courtyard during your stay.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.

Host
This home is managed by Daniela
This home is managed directly by its owner who will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Your host Daniela has been welcoming guests here for over a decade and is closely involved in the home itself — along with her husband, she renovated the building from top to bottom and designed the ground floor as an open, loft-style space to make the most of its scale and light. They live upstairs in a separate apartment, with completely independent entrances, so privacy is respected while help is close at hand if needed.
