Apartment in Florence

About this apartment rental
After 10 months of complete renovation, completed in November 2025, into which we poured our heart and soul, striving to create the ideal home we’d love to find on our own travels, we’re very proud to welcome you to our stylish, cozy, and romantic apartment.
Modern yet not cold, simple yet functional, stylish yet not flashy—the concept behind the renovation is “less is more,” but the attention to detail is meticulous; nothing is left to chance, from the ambient lighting that highlights the ancient frescoes to the hidden lighting in the headboard, from the headboard carved from a single solid piece of plane tree to the floating bed frame crafted by a local blacksmith, from the minimalist coat rack (we don’t have traditional wardrobes or drawers because there are no unpainted walls where we could install them) to the stainless steel kitchen countertop… all custom-made by hand according to our designs by local artisans.
During the renovation, we discovered numerous frescoes and an ancient outhouse (latrine) that had been hidden for centuries; restoring them took months of careful work, but we’re very happy with the result—they make the apartment unique and enhance its value, we created this space to offer an experience that can even become part of your journey—not just another apartment to sleep in at night, like so many others. Now you can fully immerse yourself in Renaissance history and its masterpieces right from the apartment. We truly hope you’ll appreciate and enjoy them as much as we do!
You’ll have an entryway/living area with a fully equipped kitchen and a comfortable French sofa bed (available upon request), a main bedroom with a stylish king-size bed, and a bathroom (no bidet) for your private use; both rooms have two large windows that let in plenty of natural light. There is no balcony or terrace.
A giant 80-inch 4K smart TV with free Netflix and a powerful Bluetooth speaker for your entertainment.
COMFORT:
A great Mitsubishi air conditioner (Italian law permits its use during the hot season from May 15 to September 15), soundproof windows, a king-size mattress (5.90 x 6.56 ft – 180x200 cm), and down comforters (provided ONLY during the winter season, Oct–May) will ensure you get a perfect night’s rest.
During the Florentine summer, the laundry does not provide comforters; but we provide a double-layer sheet, and we can assure you that you won’t need a blanket and won’t feel cold—just set the AC to 25°C (77°F) instead of 18°C (64°F).
HEATING:
ACCORDING TO ITALIAN LAW, the heating can be turned ON on November 1 and must be turned OFF on April 15; the temperature cannot exceed 21°C (69.8°F); the system is centralized and already set to the maximum allowed by law. If the temperature is already 21°C, it turns off automatically and the radiators will be cold.
If you want it less hot, you can simply turn down the knob on the heaters.
AIR CONDITIONING:
ACCORDING TO ITALIAN LAW, it may be turned on from May 15 through September 15, and the temperature cannot be LESS than 24°C (75.2°F).
KITCHEN:
Equipped with a double induction cooktop, microwave, washer-dryer combo, and dishwasher (we provide HE pods for both), an Italian moka coffee maker (we provide the ground coffee), a refrigerator with a freezer, and all the necessary cooking supplies; there is NO GAS inside the apartment.
TAP WATER IS SAFE TO DRINK BUT HAS A CHLORINE SMELL.
BATHROOM:
Full bathroom with an XL walk-in shower (shampoo and body soap provided) featuring a large fixed showerhead as shown in the photos; no bidet
BED:
The standard setup is for 2 people in the king-size bed; if there are 3 or 4 of you, just SELECT THAT OPTION WHEN YOU BOOK, so we can provide extra linens and towels and set up the sofa bed.
If you are 2 guests who want to sleep separately, please let us know WHEN YOU BOOK; we’ll need to provide extra linens and set up the sofa bed for a small additional fee.
NO EXTRA SHEETS WILL BE PROVIDED AND NO SOFA BED WILL BE SET UP WITHOUT A PRIOR SPECIFIC REQUEST.
Each guest beyond the first two incurs a charge; linens and towels are included in the price (children ages 0–2 are free; we only charge for extra linens if they sleep on the sofa bed; children ages 2–18 are considered guests).
DOCUMENTS:
In accordance with Italian anti-terrorism law, we are required to register the information of EVERY GUEST, including children of all ages, just as hotels, B&Bs, or any other tourist accommodations do.
Some hosts do not request documents (at their own risk); in other cities, they may ask for them at check-in, but the Florence local police department requires that we submit all of your information as shown on your document (passport or driver’s license, with no parts hidden) WHEN YOU BOOK.
You can attach (the platform only allows this after the reservation is made) a photo of each of your documents using the “+” symbol in the bottom left corner of the chat; this is a secure method.
The apartment can accommodate up to 4 guests—only those listed on the reservation. NO OTHER GUESTS OR TEMPORARY VISITORS ARE ALLOWED, for security and insurance reasons, and as required by law.
If someone joins at the last minute, you must notify us as soon as possible; we’ll need to modify the reservation and receive a photo of each ID BEFORE that person checks in.
We cannot accommodate minors under the age of 18 who are not accompanied by responsible adults.
The reservation must be made by the person who will actually be staying in the apartment, not on behalf of parents, friends, or employees; creating an account takes just a few minutes.
COSTS:
Bedding, towels, Wi-Fi, heating or AC, and all utilities are included in the price; no additional charges will be requested during your stay.
Linens and towels (provided by a professional laundry service) and a professional cleaner (who is not underpaid) are fixed costs even for a 1-night stay. Please note that our price does not include the VRBO fee and tourist tax; please take this into account in the “Value” section if you’d like to leave us a review.
By law, we are required to provide linens and one set of towels (one bath towel and one hand towel) for each guest for stays of up to 7 nights. Upon prior request and for a fee, we can also provide additional towels.
RULES:
Pets of any kind are NOT allowed, not even service dogs (sorry, but we’re all allergic); smoking is strictly FORBIDDEN, even by the window; and parties or events are NOT allowed. NO NOISE between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m.
Check-in is available starting at 4:00 PM (sometimes earlier); check-out must ALWAYS be by 10:00 AM. Any delay will be charged. If needed, there are two convenient luggage storage facilities just two minutes from the apartment.
Any problem or damage (such as a stain on the sofa or anything else) must be reported AS SOON AS IT OCCURS, not at checkout time, because we need to fix it as soon as possible.
SAFETY:
THE ENTIRE APARTMENT IS AT YOUR COMPLETE AND PRIVATE DISPOSAL.
NO ONE WILL ENTER THE APARTMENT DURING YOUR STAY. IF WE NEED TO COME OR SEND SOMEONE TO THE APARTMENT FOR ANY REASON, WE WILL ALWAYS AGREE ON IT WITH YOU FIRST, THEN WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR TO ANYONE, FOR ANY REASON, EVEN IF THEY CLAIM TO BE THE OWNER!!!!
DUE TO RECENT INCIDENTS IN THE CITY, DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO HELP YOU ENTER THE BUILDING OR CARRY YOUR LUGGAGE UP—THEY ARE PICKPOCKETS!
There are 4 security cameras in the building’s stairwells, all of which are monitored and located in common areas.
We provide one set of keys (for the building door and the apartment door).
Lock the door by turning the key two full turns counterclockwise; we cannot be held responsible if someone enters and steals from you if you do not lock it.
Since the keys have been shared by many people over the years, the apartment door has a security lock with a special key that cannot be duplicated without a card (which we have). These keys are expensive; for this reason, the loss of the keys will result in a charge of 400 euros because someone must come immediately to replace the entire lock cylinder. We cannot assist you between midnight and 8 a.m., so please be very careful!
SERVICES:
99% of the listings here (including ours) have nothing to do with Bed & Breakfast. ITALIAN LAW, for this type of rental (Tourist Rental) PROHIBITS the provision of any type of service (e.g., breakfast, changing sheets, daily cleaning, fresh towels daily, etc.). We cannot even leave you a bottle of water—it is considered a “service”—and only hotels or B&Bs are permitted to provide such services.
CHECK-IN;
We’ll do our best to welcome you in person; if that’s not possible, we’ll arrange for self-check-in—it’s a very simple process, and we’ll send you all the instructions 48 hours before your arrival.
PARKING:
The historic center is 90% pedestrianized, and WE ARE LOCATED IN A TRAFFIC-RESTRICTED ZONE; you do not need a car to get around Florence.
ONLY residents can freely enter and park in the historic center; ALL OTHERS can enter and park ONLY TO ACCESS a private parking lot. We have an agreement (for small and medium-sized cars only) for 36€/24h with a private parking lot just around the corner (Park2Go, Via Ricasoli 18, just 90 ft–30 m from us); booking is required through their website by selecting “small car.”
To get there, you’ll enter the Limited Traffic Zone (Italian: Zona Traffico Limitato, ZTL) by passing under one of the electronic gates with red/green lights (RED from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., GREEN from 8:00 p.m. to 7:30 a.m.). When you arrive at the parking lot, simply state that you are guests of “Attico Pucci,” and they will retrieve your license plate number from the city’s website (for 1€) to ensure you don’t receive a fine; they will issue you a receipt certifying your compliance, which you must keep.
NOTE: We do not own the parking lot; we are unaware of its availability and cannot make reservations for you. For any questions, please contact them by searching for “Park2Go Firenze”
LUGGAGE STORAGE:
We are very sorry, but due to strict sanitation and insurance regulations, we cannot store your luggage before check-in (4:00 p.m.) or after check-out (10:00 a.m.). fortunately, there are two convenient luggage storage facilities just a few steps from the apartment: Parking Bag at Piazza San Lorenzo 6 or Tourist Point at Via Martelli 33 (red number). Both charge 6€ per bag per day.
