Opera 19 Luxury Apartment Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Opera 19 Luxury Apartment on Via Sant’Egidio, you immediately understand why this place gets such incredible location scores. I mean, you’re literally steps from the Duomo — and I’m talking about a genuine two-minute stroll, not some tourist brochure exaggeration. The building itself has that classic Florentine charm, tucked into a quieter street that somehow manages to feel peaceful despite being in the absolute center of everything. It’s one of those addresses that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something special, even though you’re staying in the most touristy part of Florence.

The Apartment Experience

This four-star property really delivers on the apartment concept — you get genuine space to spread out, which honestly feels like such a premium experience when you’re used to cramped hotel rooms in historic city centers. The layout is thoughtfully designed, and there’s actually a proper kitchen setup that’s functional enough if you want to grab some ingredients from the Sant’Ambrogio market (which, by the way, is just a pleasant walk away). The furnishings strike that perfect balance between modern comfort and respecting the building’s character — you know what I mean, it doesn’t feel like they just dropped IKEA furniture into a Renaissance palazzo.

Location Perfection

Here’s the thing about the location — it’s almost ridiculously perfect for exploring Florence on foot. You can hit the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, and the Uffizi without breaking a sweat, but you’re also positioned perfectly to wander into the Oltrarno district when you want to escape the crowds. The street itself is surprisingly quiet for being so central, and there’s something really nice about having that parking option available — trust me, if you’re driving in Florence, you’ll appreciate not having to deal with the usual nightmare of finding a spot.

The Details That Matter

What really impressed me was how well-equipped everything felt for an actual stay, not just a quick overnight. The room setup gives you proper space to unpack and settle in, which makes such a difference when you’re exploring a city like Florence where you want to come back and recharge between wandering sessions. The whole place feels clean and well-maintained — you can tell someone actually cares about the guest experience here. Plus, having a base this central means you can easily pop back for an afternoon rest, which honestly becomes essential when you’re doing serious sightseeing.

Why Guests Love It

I can absolutely see why couples rate this place so highly — there’s something really romantic about having your own little Florentine hideaway right in the heart of everything. You get the independence and space of an apartment with the service standards you’d expect from a quality hotel. The combination of that incredible location score (seriously, 9.9 is almost unheard of) and the thoughtful apartment setup creates this perfect situation where you feel like a temporary local rather than just another tourist. It’s the kind of place that makes you start planning your return visit before you’ve even checked out.

Reviews of Opera 19 Luxury Apartment

  • Jeff from United States (10/10)

    Communication with the owners was easy and very responsive. The apartment was very clean, very pretty and had great amenities.

  • John from Canada (10/10)

    This was one of the best places we have stayed. Great apartment and location. Would recommend it to anyone.

  • Kimberly from United States (10/10)

    This apartment is beautiful. Could easily stay here on an extended stay in Florence. Very close to the Duomo and great restaurant options. Two large rooms with comfortable beds and excellent bathrooms. We had everything we needed. The hair dryer was great and included a diffuser! Other hotels should be so obliging! Great to be able to do laundry- suggest bringing a clothes line (but also very close to a laundromat). Convenience store just outside the main entrance. Even though close to a hospital, noise was not a problem. Zero complaints!
