Description

Zafferano is located in the very heart of Florence, in Piazza della Signoria, directly facing the iconic Palazzo Vecchio. Despite this exceptional setting in one of the city’s most famous squares, the apartment enjoys a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, offering a relaxing stay.

The apartment accommodates up to 4 guests and features two full bathrooms, ensuring comfort and convenience. It is situated on the 4th floor of a building with an elevator, a valuable feature in Florence’s historic centre.

As soon as you step outside, you are surrounded by Florence’s history and art: all the main landmarks, museums and attractions can be reached within a short walk, making Zafferano an ideal choice for exploring the city on foot.

Attractions

The apartment is located on piazza della Signoria, one of the main squares of the city, which forms part of the Duomo district in Florence’s historic city centre. The Duomo area constitutes the very heart of Florence and the area takes its name from Brunelleschi’s magnificent dome on the wonderful Santa Maria del Fiore cathedral. The Duomo neighbourhood offers an array of beautiful historical buildings and superb piazzas including the Mercato di San Lorenzo, the Piazza del Duomo and Piazza della Repubblica, famous for its attractive cafes, patisserie shops, live music, street performers and caricature artists. Furthermore, the area is surrounded by the city’s main cultural attractions, notably Piazza della Signoria, Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio, the Bargello Palace and Casa Buonarroti, the former home of Michelangelo, not to mention the Uffizi Gallery and the museum dedicated to the city’s cathedral “Museo dell'Opera del Duomo”.
The area also has much to offer in terms of fine dining and exclusive boutique shopping. The top Italian fashion houses are located along Via Tornabuoni, Via Calzaiuoli and Via del Corso and include the famous names of Salvatore Ferragamo, Armani, Versace, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Tiffany & Co. and many more. For those choosing an apartment in this area, the Duomo quarter also offers several food stores otherwise known as “alimentari”, supermarkets, laundrettes and individual gift shops as well as being adequately served by the local public transport service.

Parking

Florence city centre is a ZTL zone which means a “limited traffic zone” and therefore special rules apply to when you can enter this area. This particular apartment is in fact located within the ZTL zone so this means that if you are thinking of coming to Florence by car and wish to drive around and park, then you will need to pay special attention to the road signs, CCTV cameras and access cameras (they will show either a red/green light) in order to avoid receiving fines. Guests who need to travel within the ZTL zone by car to reach their apartment are advised to contact a private garage. Thanks to the private garage you will obtain a temporary access permit. Upon arrival at the garage, guests must specify they need access for the ZTL and the garage will then note the vehicle’s number plate and forward it to the appropriate police headquarters.

Local Transport

The public bus service in Florence is provided by "Ataf".
The nearest bus stop to the house is on via Verdi about 6 minutes walking distance, and the bus n° is 23.
Otherwise it is always possible to call a taxi calling one of these numbers: +39 0554242 or +39 0554390.

This apartment is beautiful. The rooms are large and the windows provide great light. It's in a perfect location in the heart of Florence. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen was fully equipped and having a washing machine was a wonderful perk. The management was quick to respond when we had questions. The only negative was that we could not use the tiny terrace because the smells from exhaust vent from the restaurant downstairs was very strong.

Excellent location! It was great walking out of the apartment everyday to the very historic Piazza delle Signoria. Cafes, restaurants and tourists sights very close by.
The apartment was very comfortable. It was nice having 2 bathrooms and a very comfortable bed. Some days it was tricky regulating the hot water in the showers and a few times there was no water pressure. Just wait a few minutes and pressure was fine.

We stayed at this apartment for 10 days in September and October of 2024

The location is wonderful as it is within a quick walking distance of all major sites in Florence. To walk down and out of the building into Piazza della Signoria was just amazing each and every time that we left the front door.

The apartment was very clean, comfortable and very welcoming. It was nicely appointed with wonderful windows that opened everywhere. We were very surprised by how large the apartment actually was. Having two bathrooms and an elevator was a definite plus. The apartment welcomed us home each evening. We only used the refrigerator and never cooked, but again, the apartment was well stocked with a variety of pans and dinnerware.

We also never used the little veranda area. Opening the windows in the apartment was all we needed to let fresh air or the sounds of city living in,

We'd heartily recommend this apartment to anyone staying in the area. A quick taxi ride from the train station dropped us around the corner. On the morning that we left, the young lady at Caffe Condotta around the corner and on Via Dell Condotta called for a taxi for us. It was less than 100 steps to haul our suitcases around the corner to catch a taxi back to the main train station.

Not only is it close in to all the major sites, it has a nice little grocery store nearby on Via Dante Alighieri--several blocks away. There are drugstores nearby as well.

Down the street on Via Della Condotta is an incredible restaurant called Gustavino Piazza Della Signoria. We suggest that you try the filet steak with gorgonzola, brandy and walnut sauce. The restaurant is beyond wonderful and the service is smart and happy and prices are reasonable for such great food.

So, if you are looking for a great walk up apartment with the convenience of an elevator then I'd definitely stay in this apartment. You will not be disappointed.

Great location close to everything. Spacious updated apartment with a nice small terrace off the kitchen and having 2 bathrooms (with shower) is a big plus. Would definitely stay again.
