Gattolino apartment is located on the last floor of a nineteenth century building in the lively neighbourhood of Porta Romana anciently called “Porta a San Pier Gattolini”.
The apartment, which is about 100 square meters wide, can host up to five people and it is gifted with a large and liveable terrace amazingly overlooking the entire city.
It is very bright and silent and it is furnished with antique Tuscan furniture.
Guests have at their disposal two wide double bedrooms (one of which can be set with two single beds, if necessary) and a third room, located on the upper level and equipped with a single sofa bed.
All accommodations are prepared for offering an excellent rest: air conditioning, slatted base, ergonomic mattresses and high-quality bed linen.
The windowed bathroom conveniently serves the two double bedrooms and it is has both a shower and a bath tub.
There is a fully equipped kitchen where guests can prepare tasty home cooked meals to be consumed together at the dinner table which opens onto a little terrace planted with aromatics.
Next to the kitchen, the doors of a finely decorated wardrobe hide a tiny laundry room, just in case it is needed.
During home relaxation, a bright cozy double living room will be perfect in every time of the day for reading a book, listening to music or watching your favourite series on the smart tv.
The attic on the upper floor, which is decorated by a Florentine artist as a tiny tropical forest, is provided with a sofa bed and it offers a charming private corner from the rest of the apartment.
When the weather is good, a lot of time can be spent outside, on the wide panoramic terrace. Al-fresco dining or relaxing in the sitting area overlooking the city will be always possible, thanks to the lightings that make the space liveable also by night.
Please note the apartment is located at the fourth floor and there is no lift. The staircase is wide and not steep. However, if necessary, a service of luggage transport to the floor can be arranged upon request and at extra charge.
Ciao! My name is Ludovica and I’ve been living in Florence since…forever. I love gardens, cooking, walking in nature, every single sea of the world, my motorcycle and my dog.
I will be more than happy to share with you info and tips about the more authentic restaurants, bars and shops in the area or the less beaten routes to stroll around.
I live nearby and I am always available to resolve any issue and to ensure you have a great stay!
The apartment is located in the lively neighbourhood of Porta Romana and can be reached by public transports or by car as it is outside of the Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL in Italian). There are parking slots along the nearby streets and a fee is due from 8 am to 8 pm. The neighbourhood still keeps its authentic soul and offers all the services you will need: it’s easy to feel immediately ‘at home’.
Despite its closeness to Oltrarno, the area offers some quietness as the buildings become less frequent and more country-like open spaces emerge. The location is perfect to start exploring not only the most known itineraries, but also the ones away from the city centre hustle. Heading towards the hills of Arcetri, Marignolle and Bellosguardo, you will be enchanted by the lush greenery and by the aristocratic villas that line this route which will offer you the most romantic and scenic corners of the city.
