Company information

Our project was born from the need to give new life and new function to two small apartments, a little uncomfortable to be a permanent home. A bit as an experiment, a bit by chance, the business started to grow and in a short time we switched to professional management of several properties. Our creative background allowed us to give a personalized touch to the structure and helped us design the place we would like to find when we travel. We thought a lot about what contribution we could offer in a city like Florence, saturated with tourism, so we started from our origins and retraced the family history trying to weave authentic links with the past and with tradition. Our structure has a special harmony with the city because it is part of a larger property that has belonged to the same family for generations and if you like family stories you can read ours.

Property information

La Gabbia del Grillo is a small reality located in the center of Florence. We have 8 delightful apartments overlooking a quiet internal courtyard, right under the Duomo and since 2013 we have been welcoming travelers from all over the world. We offer different types of accommodation: for couples, for families and for business trips. We like to be present and have a direct exchange with our customers and we offer a personalized trait to each of them. Our structure has a special harmony with the city because it is part of a larger property that has belonged to the same family for generations and if you like family stories you can discover ours.
