Apartment Rental Florence Italy

A sunny apartment in Florence

So many people opt for an apartment rental in Florence Italy rather than a hotel.  

An apartment has lots of advantages: primarily you are more independent and have greater privacy in your own place, and you have your own kitchen to have breakfast whenever you want (no hotel timetables!) and prepare meals for yourself (saving $).  

Apartments, of course, generally offer more space than a hotel too - you can really unpack and feel 'at home' in Firenze.

Plus, staying in an apartment in Florence lets you feel like you're really 'living' in the city. You can pop down to the Mercato Centrale for fresh fruits and cheeses and then saunter off home to enjoy your lunch on your own terrace overlooking the Duomo (yes, places like this ARE available!).

'Off the Beaten Path' Apartment Rental - Florence Italy

Villa Lucrezia

Stoney facade of Villa Lucrezia in the neighborhood of Piazza Puccini

Want to be away from the tourist route, but still easily and quickly connected to all the downtown sights?

Villa Lucrezia is a hidden gem offering extremely reasonable rates (much lower than you would pay in the historic center) for lovely accommodation on the fringes of the city.  

But you get downtown in 10 minutes by bus, which stops a few feet away from the villa! This location couldn't be better connected by public transport or even walking (25 mins downtown).

This 19th century villa is in piazza Puccini, the square named after the great composer Giacomo Puccini.  All apartments are newly renovated in neo-renaissance style and are very cozy and welcoming.

The Puccini neighborhood has lots of local character, a genuine community feel.  

Each morning there is an outdoor market in the square right in front of the villa: eat local dishes prepared on the spot at the food stands and buy fresh fruits, cold cuts, breads and cheeses to load up your kitchen.

Also, you will be a short walk to Florence's Cascine park, a great place for jogging, renting bikes, or just strolling and people watching.  

where: piazza Puccini, 5
