About this property

Porcellana Double - One Bedroom Apartment, Sleeps 2

Comfortable apartment in a very central position, in the heart of Florence, a few steps from Santa Maria Novella station and close to the city's main services and points of interest. Thanks to the strategic location, the most famous monuments are easily accessible on foot.
The apartment is located on the third floor (without elevator) of a typical Florentine building and measures about 40 m². It includes a double bedroom with a spacious wardrobe, a living area with a dining area and a fully equipped kitchen, and a bathroom with a shower. It can accommodate up to 2 people.
The location — all on foot (approximate times):

Santa Maria Novella Station — 9 min
Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (Duomo) — 11 min
Piazza della Signoria — 12 min

Perfect for couples who want to stay in a central and well-connected location, a short walk from the station and the main attractions of Florence. Due to the absence of an elevator, it is not suitable for guests with reduced mobility.
Good to know: the apartment is located on the third floor without an elevator, so it is not suitable for guests with reduced mobility. Upon arrival, guests will find a courtesy kit (toilet paper, soap, shampoo). Check-in is by appointment from 14:00 to 20:00; for arrivals after 20:00, there is a supplement. The apartment is located in a restricted traffic zone (ZTL). Air conditioning is regulated by Italian law, which provides for a temperature between 20°C and 22°C.

City Tax: € 6,00 per person per night to pay at check-in for a maximum of 7 nights


Extra: CRIB € 20,00 Per stay (upon request), BABY CHAIR € 20,00 Per stay (upon request), PET FRIENDLY € 20,00 Per stay (upon request)
Welcome! To make your stay pleasant for you and for those who arrive later, we ask you to read this little practical information. By booking the apartment, you accept the following.
Check-in and check-out
Check-in: from 14:00 to 20:00, by appointment. We ask you to let us know your arrival time in advance, so as to better coordinate us. Check-out: by 10:00 a.m. Check-in after 20:00: possible subject to the availability of our staff, with a supplement: 50€ until 22:00 · 80€ from 22:00 to midnight · 100€ from midnight to 02:00. Check-in after 02:00 is not possible.
Guest registration (legal requirement)
Italian law (art. 109 TULPS — R.D. 773/1931) requires us to communicate the identity of all guests to the public security authority. Upon check-in, we will then ask you for a valid identity document for each guest (for foreign guests, a passport). Without this data, we cannot deliver the accommodation to you. This is a requirement for all accommodation facilities in Italy: we record data only for the purpose of public security control.
Tourist tax
The City of Florence applies a tourist tax of 6.00€ per person per night, for a maximum of 7 consecutive nights. Minors up to 12 years old are exempt. (To be paid at check-in/already collected from the platform — adapt according to the booking channel.)
What is included in the rate
Air conditioning, heating, electricity, water, bed linen and towels, use of the washing machine.
Pets allowed
Coexistence and neighborhood
The apartment is located in a residential building, so:
No parties or events are allowed. We ask you to respect the silence after 23:00 and avoid slamming doors. Smoking is prohibited inside the apartment. Any additional guests other than those indicated in the booking must be agreed with us in advance.
Heating and air conditioning
Heating: as required by national legislation (D.M. 383 of 06/10/2022), for the City of Florence, the system can be turned on from November 8 to April 7, for a maximum of 11 hours a day, with a temperature adjusted between 19 °C and 21 °C (tolerance included). Air conditioning: to reduce consumption and respect the environment, we ask you to use the air conditioner responsibly, maintaining a temperature of 19—21 °C and turning it off when you leave.
wrenches
Keep your keys carefully. In case of loss or failure to return, for security reasons it will be necessary to replace the lock, with a charge of 50.00€.
Overtime interventions
For urgent interventions made necessary by improper use by the guest and requested outside office hours (22:00 — 08:00), a fee of 100.00€ will be applied.
Danni
If anything breaks or stops working, let us know: we'll check it out. No problem with minor inconveniences — we only ask for transparency.
Parking and ZTL
The apartment is located in the Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL), reserved for residents: it is not possible to park freely on the street without incurring a fine. There are two options: a paid private garage in the immediate vicinity (convenient but more expensive), or a car park outside the center (cheaper), from which to reach the apartment by public transport. If you arrive by car, contact us first: we will show you the best solution.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy

Great spot

Easy to get to from the train station and walkable to all the things you want to see. Owners were very friendly and communicative. A great comfortable spot with plenty of room. Just be prepared for 4 flights of stairs.

Wouldn’t return

Check in was a breeze with a happy staff member taking us up to the apartment. After she left we then noticed how dirty the apartment was. Mouth floss and hairs on the bathroom floors, all shelves and tops covered in dust. The rug in the living room thick with dirt I could go on. We ended up doing a full clean with our own supplies. The hoover was completely blocked so I had to take it to pieces to clean the clogged filer out and the blockage of hair/dirt in the tube. What annoyed me was the manager had a dedicated WhatsApp that she used to get in touch with me and said if there are any problems just to let them know. When I did this she ignored me. It’s a laugh that the terms sheet I signed it said there was 90 in the bill for cleaning. There was a useless AC unit in the living room while the bedroom had nothing, it was so hot that at 3am we had to move into the living room to sleep on the couch even though it was 27c in there with the AC. The shower had two options, freezing cold or boiling hot. Whatever it decided. All in all the apartment is rather dated and the pictures made it look far nicer. The linen and towel were pristine though! One last point to note. 3rd floor can confuse as some countries count the ground floor as 1st. So bear in mind it’s four full flights of stairs. 0 being the ground floor.
