Romantic Apartment located in an ancient building at very few steps from the Dome, elevator equipped (very rare in historical center). It is suited with a new powerful Air Conditioning system; an independent heating system and WiFi; fully equipped with security appliances: monoxide methan and smoke detector, fire extinguisher, emergency lights, security access door. The apartment is located in Via dei Servi, one of the most characteristic and suggestive streets of Florence, between Piazza Duomo and Piazza S.S. Annunziata, two of the most beautiful squares in Florence. It is located at the beginning of the street a few steps from the Cathedral, in the pedestrian area that surrounds the Duomo and the inner historic core of the city. The main points of artistic interest are very close to Via dei Servi and can be reached on foot in a few minutes, as is the railway station. The apartment is on the second floor of the Casa dè Biffi; it has 1 double bedroom and 1 bathroom, and can accommodate up to 3 people. The surface is 56 square meters and the ceiling, 3.5 meters high, is in original wooden beams. It has recently been completely renovated and equipped, and has been available since March 2015. The furniture is classic, very comfortable; comes from the owner's family of origin: they are authentic pieces of Italian manufacture. In particular, the Capodimonte porcelain chandelier placed above the large dining table is noteworthy. In the living room a large French door opens onto a balcony overlooking the large and bright internal courtyard. A large square arch leads to the dining area and the fully equipped kitchen. A bookcase cabinet can be easily transformed into 1 bed for the 3rd guest. The second floor, which corresponds to the third in the American classification, is easily accessible by an elevator which is very useful both for people and for carrying suitcases. The Palace dates back to the Renaissance period and has been renovated in recent years, preserving the original elements of the ancient Florentine houses of the Renaissance. The Bargellini-Guarnieri Catalog describes the Palazzo as simple but with 'delicate frames' on the facade. It was built on older houses belonging to the Tedaldi family, and in the mid-16th century it belonged to the Florentine Biffi family, hence its name 'Casa dè Biffi'. Later the palace was owned by the Pagani family. On the second floor level the facade is decorated with a family crest, probably coming from the Pagani family. The apartment is perfect for an unforgettable experience in Florence, in an intimate and precious environment, with the same level of quality and luxury as other larger and more expensive apartments. OWNER'S STORY Eleonora and Fiorenzo, the owners, lived for many years in this property, and now they live near Florence a few kilometers from the city. In 2012 they decided to offer others the opportunity to share, albeit for short periods. of time, the extraordinary experience of living in the monumental center of Florence a few steps from the Duomo. The exclusive position is immediately striking. Furthermore, the spaciousness of the spaces and rooms, and a renovation that is particularly faithful to the historical characteristics of the building, allow you to live in these environments with all the functionality and comforts of modern life together with the charm of ancient times that these places have preserved. . All the furnishings and decorations of both apartments are part of the personal family heritage, and offer our guests the opportunity to live in an authentic Italian home. NOTES CHECK IN.

Offered a variety of restaurant and bakery options to try and tips for getting around the area. The apartment location was perfect with local activities during the day and night. It is a spacious apt, and the lift was useful with the luggage vice taking the stairs but took the stairs the remainder of the time. There is plenty of storage space, extra blankets, and pillows.

I spent two weeks researching where to stay a week in Florence. This location and elegant condo were perfect. The bed comfortable, kitchen well equipped, and patio opening charming. Well secured building, step out your door to all the delights of Florence. Elenora helped us pick great restaurants and how to's of getting around the city. We had an easy walk with suitcases to the condo from the train station. Elenora has a beautiful place and high integrity in our rental. Thank you for a great visit! ##### Beth G.

The apartment was very well furnished with everything we needed and more than we would have requested. It was very clean and came with a bottle of wine and 2 large bottles of water. We will certainly stay here again the next time we are in Florence. Eleonora provided expert instructions on getting around, places to visit and restaurants that we should visit. Very sad to leave Florence. What a beautiful city. ##### David C.
