Company information

We are Ada & Sergio. We are a married couple since 1999 and we personally take care of the management of the structure. We are at your disposal for any information before and during your stay. We like to keep in touch with guests and suggest places to visit and where to eat.

Property information

Ours is a new small family-run establishment. The rooms are inside an apartment completely renovated recently, designed to offer maximum comfort and pleasant stay. Ideal for a couple, they all have a private bathroom inside, with a large shower, double shower heads in 3 rooms, air conditioning. They are very bright, but at the same time with a window that completely isolates any noise and light coming from the outside. The furnishing is completed, in the green room, by a little sofa that turns into an extra bed, where you can relax while having a cup of tea, after your returns from your walks.

Neighbourhood information

We are located in the most beautiful area of Florence: easily reachable on foot from the Santa Maria Novella or Campo di Marte stations, but also by car or public transport. It is a shopping area, full of shops, pubs, restaurants, pharmacies, banks. Far from the chaos of the crowded streets, but close enough to all the main places of interest. At 50 meters begins a pedestrian street that leads straight to the Duomo in 15 minutes on foot. Campo di Marte train station it's just 10 min on foot
