Via San Domenico, Florence

Property Description:

This splendid double room with a private ensuite bathroom is located within an ancient historic residence surrounded by the greenery of the Tuscan countryside. The room is spacious, bright, and furnished with elegant pieces that reflect the traditional charm of Tuscany. The modern ensuite bathroom, carefully designed down to the smallest detail, features a large shower, hairdryer, and high-quality toiletries to provide maximum comfort during your stay.

The room is perfect for those seeking a quiet and private environment, while also having the opportunity to experience authentic life in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Common Areas:

The room for rent is part of a larger house that accommodates two other rooms. Guests will stay in their private room but will share common areas like the living room, kitchen, and garden with the other tenants of the house.

This extraordinary Tuscan home is a place that harmoniously blends art, literature, and modern comforts. Situated in one of the most scenic areas of Florence, this carefully restored old family house is much more than just a residence; it’s an important cultural center, a retreat for those seeking inspiration and peace.

The spacious and welcoming living room is the heart of the house. Exposed wooden beams and a fireplace create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while large windows flood the space with natural light. The walls are adorned with an extensive collection of books and artworks, inviting you to read and reflect. Here, guests can relax or participate in cultural events and literary discussions in an environment that fosters interaction and creativity.

This residence is not your typical B&B, but rather a true crossroads of cultures and ideas. It is not just a place to stay but a space where writers, artists, and culture enthusiasts meet, with the opportunity to share experiences and knowledge. Every corner of the house is designed to stimulate reflection and creativity, making a stay here a unique experience.

Outside, the lush garden surrounding the house offers a peaceful oasis where you can relax in nature. The garden is perfect for walks, moments of contemplation, or simply enjoying a glass of wine under the pergola. Guests are welcome to enjoy this green space, which offers breathtaking views of the Tuscan hills, and use the various outdoor areas for dining or relaxing.

The fully equipped Tuscan-style kitchen offers everything needed to prepare delicious meals using local products.

All common areas — living room, kitchen, and garden — are shared with other guests. We kindly ask that you respect the house rules to ensure a pleasant and harmonious experience for everyone, promoting an atmosphere of tranquility and mutual respect.

The Area:

The house is located on Via San Domenico 22, along the road that connects Florence to Fiesole, one of the city’s most elegant and tranquil residential areas.

The property is about a 10-minute drive from the historic center, perfectly connected via public transportation, making it easy and fast to access the city's main attractions.

The area is rich in restaurants, typical trattorias, and bars where you can enjoy Tuscan specialties.
