This spacious and charming apartment is named "Residenza Contessa Angela" after the lady who lived here. She was a countess and a philanthropist. Her father was a French-Florentine painter active in the early '900 and his work - which his daughter preserved and promoted during all her life - still decorates the rooms. Located at 100 metres from S.Maria Novella Square, five minutes walk from the Duomo, on the first floor - second for Americans - of a 15th Century Palazzo, the apartment is spacious, quiet and comfortable. In this 150 square metre flat you will find a large main bedroom with a queen sized bed (170x190 cm.), a spacious lounge-dining room, a well equipped sunny kitchen with its original marble sink, a second bedroom with a queen sized bed, opening onto an small open air courtyard, one full bathroom and one half...

In this 150 square metre flat you will find a large main bedroom with a queen sized bed (170x190 cm.), a spacious lounge-dining room, a well equipped sunny kitchen with its original marble sink, a second bedroom with a queen sized bed, opening onto an small open air courtyard, one full bathroom and one half bathroom (with toilet and sink). In the studio room there is a sofa bed, so a maximum of six people can sleep comfortably. The entrance is on the first floor (no elevator), where most of the rooms are. From an inner staircase, you have access to the studio room opening onto a 50 square metre walled garden, where you can sit and relax in privacy and quiet under the palm, banana and oleander trees. The whole apartment is extremely quiet, being in the back of the building and away from the street. It is decorated with original antique pieces of furniture and painting, but also equipped with modern facilities, including dishwasher, washing machine, air conditioning in the main bedroom, fans, wi-fi internet everywhere, a stereo with ipod connection, flatscreen tv with satellite channels. Very well behaved children are welcome. Please be advised that no running, jumping and unruly behavior can be accepted, as there are many irreplaceable antiques and delicate pieces. There is no lift so there are 22 (easy) steps to arrive to the door.
This apartment is perfectly placed to visit all the sights you might possibly want to visit. On the Main Street but as soon as you step inside the traffic and heat are left behind and life becomes tranquil, cool and calm inside this fabulous apartment. Modern it is not! But it has everything you would need. The large rooms and...

Thank you. We appreciate your input.
This apartment was perfect for us! Everything we needed... less then a five minute walk to the train station, (which we used several time during our 10 day stay. Cab pick up is also at the train station), walking distance to must sees, grocery store just down the block on the way to and from the train station, safe area....
