Historic Palazzo, Central Location, 1 bedrooms retreat
Stay in a historic Palazzo di Belle Arti on Via dei Bardi, one of Florence’s uniquely beautiful and walkable streets. This newly renovated ground-floor home offers the rare combination of historic character, peaceful energy, and everyday convenience, just moments from Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Pitti, Boboli Gardens, and Giardino Bardini.
From the moment you arrive, the space feels calm and welcoming. A private entrance and self check-in make arrival easy, while the ground-floor layout means no stairs and no carrying luggage through narrow historic stairwells. Inside, vaulted ceilings, traditional wooden beams, and warm terracotta floors create an authentic Florentine atmosphere that feels both elegant and comfortable.
The apartment has an inviting layout designed for restful stays. The master bedroom faces the sidewalk and the Bardini garden wall. The second bedroom overlooks the internal enclosed courtyard, bringing in natural light that also reaches the third bedroom. The result is a home that feels private, grounded, and easy to settle into after a day exploring the city.
This is the kind of place that lets you experience Florence at a different pace. Step outside into the beauty of the historic center, spend your day among gardens, museums, river walks, and local restaurants, then return to a home that feels quiet, restorative, and distinctly Tuscan.
Guests have exclusive access to the entire apartment and all of its amenities. Public transportation is nearby, and parking options are available close to the property along with a supermarket.
Ideal for couples, families, and longer stays, this home offers a memorable Florence experience with charm, comfort, and an exceptional location.

It was a pleasure to stay here. It is a lovely property in a great location. It has all the facilities you will need. Luca was a very helpful host and made the check in easy for us when we arrived early.
Great location! The other side of the river was quieter, but still not too far from the tourist attractions. We walked everywhere. There were some great restaurants nearby. The apartment was spacious, the wifi worked well. We used the washer/dryer successfully. Our host was responsive.
A quiet location on my steps away from the Centro storico...very easy to access...city transportation on the corner...it was wonderful to be able to cross a bridge, either Ponte Grazie or Ponte Vecchio and within a 10 minute walk all of the iconic spots were reachable. Luca was accessible at all times to answer questions that arose. I would 100% stay there again. The apartment was comfortable and clean and quiet and spacious.
