Appartamenti San Marco Firenze

Appartamenti San Marco Firenze Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Appartamenti San Marco Firenze feels like discovering a well-kept secret right in the heart of Florence. You’re literally steps away from the Piazza di San Marco — I mean, you can’t get more central than this without actually sleeping in the Duomo. The building itself has that understated Florentine elegance that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled into someone’s beautifully maintained family palazzo rather than a typical hotel. This four-star property captures the essence of authentic Florentine hospitality.

Location Magic

Honestly, the location is pretty much perfect for exploring Florence on foot. You’re a five-minute walk from the Accademia Gallery where Michelangelo’s David lives, and the Duomo is just around the corner — close enough that you’ll hear the bells but far enough that you won’t be dealing with the worst of the tourist crowds right outside your window. The San Marco area has this lovely residential feel during the day, with locals going about their business, but it transforms into something quite romantic in the evenings when the piazzas empty out a bit. Every corner invites exploration and discovery.

The Apartment Experience

What I really appreciated about this property is that each apartment feels like an actual home rather than a sterile hotel room. The spaces are thoughtfully designed with period details — think exposed beams and terracotta floors — but they’ve managed to incorporate modern conveniences without making it feel forced. The kitchen areas are actually functional too, which is rare in these historic buildings. You know what’s nice? Having the option to grab fresh ingredients from the Sant’Ambrogio market and prepare a simple meal when you’re tired of dining out.

Practical Comforts

The staff here really knows their stuff about Florence — they’ll point you toward the best gelato spots that locals actually frequent and can help you figure out which museums to book in advance. The apartments themselves are well-maintained and quiet, which matters when you’re trying to recover from all that walking on cobblestones. Air conditioning works properly during those sweltering summer months, and the Wi-Fi is reliable enough for staying connected or planning your next day’s adventures. Parking options are available for guests who arrive by car.

Why Guests Love It

There’s something special about staying in a place where couples consistently rave about the romantic atmosphere — and I get it. The combination of authentic Florentine architecture, that unbeatable location, and the privacy of having your own space creates this perfect storm for a memorable stay. You’re not just visiting Florence; you’re actually living in it for a few days. Plus, when you can walk to everything worth seeing and still retreat to a peaceful apartment that feels like home, well, that’s pretty much the ideal Florence experience right there.

• Marie from Ireland (9/10)

  Excellent location close to centre but quiet enough.

• Elizabeth from Australia (9/10)

  Great location and easy access. While an old-style apartment (what else do you expect in Florence?) it was comfortable and had the facilities for 2 family couples. We appreciated the washing machine and small outdoor drying area. We felt like locals. Thanks!

  Spacious and comfortable apartment in excellent location within historic centre, easy walk to everything. I will miss that view of the basilica and campanile – beautiful and relaxing. Surrounded by interesting out of the way little museums.
