San Lorenzo Apartments

San Lorenzo Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to San Lorenzo Apartments on Via dell’Ariento, you immediately get that feeling you’re staying somewhere locals actually know about. This four-star property sits right in the San Lorenzo district — honestly, you can’t get more central in Florence without literally sleeping in the Duomo. The building has that authentic Florentine character, none of the touristy gloss you find near the main squares, but still polished enough that you know you’re in for something special.

The Heart of Florence

I mean, when couples rate the location a perfect 10.0, they’re not exaggerating. You’re literally steps from the San Lorenzo Market, where vendors have been selling leather goods and local produce for centuries. The Medici Chapels are around the corner, and you can walk to the Duomo in about five minutes — but here’s the thing, you’re tucked away enough that you’re not dealing with the constant tourist crowds. It’s that sweet spot where you feel like you’re living in Florence rather than just visiting it.

The Apartment Experience

These aren’t your typical hotel room — each apartment feels like someone’s carefully curated Florentine home. The spaces are thoughtfully designed with modern amenities while keeping those classic Italian touches that make you want to stay longer than planned. You know what really impressed me? The beds are genuinely comfortable, which sounds basic but honestly, after walking Florence’s cobblestones all day, that matters more than you’d think. The property scored incredibly high for sleep quality, and I can see why. Every detail has been considered to ensure your comfort during your stay.

Living Like a Local

Having your own kitchen changes everything about a Florence stay. You can grab fresh ingredients from the market downstairs and actually cook with them, or just store the amazing pastries you’ll inevitably buy from local bakeries. The apartments give you that flexibility to eat when you want, how you want — whether that’s a quick espresso and cornetto before heading out, or a proper Italian dinner with wine you picked up from the enoteca down the street. This independence transforms your experience into something truly personal.

Why Guests Love It

With a 9.3 rating and that perfect 10.0 location score, guests consistently rave about feeling like they’ve discovered Florence’s best-kept secret. You’re staying in a neighborhood where real Florentines live and work, but with all the comfort and service of a quality hotel. The combination of authentic location, comfortable accommodations, and that independence you get with an apartment-style setup creates something pretty special. Plus, when you tell people you stayed in San Lorenzo, locals nod approvingly — they know you chose well. Finding parking nearby is also convenient for those exploring the surrounding Tuscan countryside.

Tuscany’s hotels pair barrel-aging cellars, fresco breakfasts, and concierge-led Siena cathedral climbs.

  It is a fabulous location, in the centre of Florence, just near San Lorenzo Basilique!
  Tasty restaurants and pizzérias, 5 minutes walking distance.
  All about this location makes you feel the incredible vibrant Firenze, starting with the Medici name, the beautiful walls of the apartment and, of course, our wonderful host, Lorenzo.
  Thank you!

  Definitely recommend this place 👌

• Jennifer from United States (10/10)

  The property was in a fantastic location, close to all the attractions of Firenze and the train station. Central Market across the street was an amazing bonus for quick meals or snacks. A lot of hustle and bustle outside during the day with the market and street vendors, but surprisingly quiet at night.

  Everything you needed in a fabulous location, Lorenzo’s communication was also fabulous 😄

• Henry from United Kingdom (10/10)

  Beautiful apartment in a great location, close to the railway station and in easy walking distance to the city centre. It was perfect for our family. The host was good at communicating all we needed to know before we arrived and was responsive, helpful and kind while we were there. He provided good recommendations for restaurants and other local information. The apartment is really quiet despite being on a busy market street. Highly recommend!

• Arthur from United States (10/10)

  Lorenzo is an amazing person. Very friendly, accommodating and has detailed, lamented instructions in the apartment. He is also quick to respond over WhatsApp communication. The apartment is standard 2 room, small kitchen and good size bathroom. The shower was a modern and a good size. He was also very gracious to leave enough rolls of toilet paper for those of us who don't use the 'bidet' toilet. The market across the street has an amazing food court. So when you're tired of pasta and gelato's you can grab a SMASH BURGER with bacon!! The apartment is within walking distance to every major site and restaurant. Along with laundry facilities and the train station. This apartment is perfect for 4 people. No more than that though.

• Lisa from United States (10/10)

  Location can't be beat! Everything in walking distance plus the Market Hall right in front of the door. Went in July heat and central location allowed for quick rest stops "at home".
