About this apartment rental
Belle Donne Apartment is designed on a grand scale on two levels and lies on the fourth floor of an antique building with an elevator along VIA DELLE BELLE DONNE, just next to Pizza Santa Maria Novella (and so within a 5 mins walk away from the train station).
Tastefully renovated and furnished with sophisticated design pieces, it can accommodate up to 6 people and has 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The entrance opens onto the bright living room, which has a decorative fireplace and a large flat-screen TV with international channels. In the dining area, you'll find a large dining table for 6 people. The kitchen is also on this floor and has gas burners, a microwave, an electric oven, a blender, a dishwasher, a toaster, a kettle, an American coffee maker, an espresso coffee maker, and all the necessary equipment for cooking. Close to the kitchen, you'll find the laundry area with a washing machine and a line to hang clothes. Also on this level is the first bedroom with a king-size bed and an ensuite bathroom with a built-in shower and another master bedroom with a king-size bed (width 170 cm) with its bathroom with shower. Returning to the dining area you'll find a white spiral staircase that leads to the third bedroom with two twin beds and its ensuite bathroom that has both a bathtub and a shower.
The apartment is fully air-conditioned and it is provided with the most reliable wifi connection provided by the national phone company.
The check-in is from 3 pm to 8 pm. We are sorry but later check-in is not possible.
Parking
Florence city centre is a ZTL zone which means a “limited traffic zone” and therefore special rules apply to when you can enter this area. This particular apartment is in fact located within the ZTL zone so this means that if you are thinking of coming to Florence by car and wish to drive around and park, then you will need to pay special attention to the road signs, CCTV cameras, and access cameras (they will show either a red/green light) to avoid receiving fines. Guests who need to travel within the ZTL zone by car to reach their apartment are advised to contact one of the private garages in the centre (the one nearest the apartment you are staying in) and obtain a temporary access permit. Upon arrival at the garage, guests must specify they need access to the ZTL, and the garage will then note the vehicle’s number plate and forward it to the appropriate police headquarters.

Area
The apartment is located within Duomo-Santa Maria Novella district in Florence’s historic city centre. The Duomo area constitutes the very heart of Florence and the area takes its name from Brunelleschi’s magnificent dome on the wonderful Santa Maria del Fiore cathedral. The Duomo neighbourhood offers an array of beautiful historical buildings and superb piazzas including the Mercato di San Lorenzo, the Piazza del Duomo and Piazza della Repubblica, famous for its attractive cafes, patisserie shops, live music, street performers and caricature artists. Furthermore, the area is surrounded by the city’s main cultural attractions, notably Piazza della Signoria, Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio, the Bargello Palace and Casa Buonarroti, the former home of Michelangelo, not to mention the Uffizi Gallery and the museum dedicated to the city’s cathedral “Museo dell'Opera del Duomo”.
The area also has much to offer in terms of fine dining and exclusive boutique shopping. The top Italian fashion houses are located along Via Tornabuoni, Via Calzaiuoli and Via del Corso and include the famous names of Salvatore Ferragamo, Armani, Versace, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Tiffany & Co. and many more. The Parco delle Cascine, Florence’s largest public park popular with walkers, joggers, horse riders and families, is also just 10 minutes away by foot. For people choosing an apartment in this area, there are plenty of food stores otherwise known as “alimentari”, supermarkets, laundrettes, banks, pharmacies and individual gift shops not to mention the fact that you are very close to the main bus, tram, coach and train terminal, Santa Maria Novella.
For the layout of the apartment children under the age of 12 are not recommended and can only be accepted with a disclaimer and an additional security deposit.

This place is amazing. Everything went smoothly from check in to check out. My family was there for three weeks. The kitchen is lacking in some items, however, unless you cook it will not matter as you have the essentials. The elevator was extremely helpful. The location is PERFECT! All of the places to visit are close by and there are several grocery stores also close by. The train station is less than 10 minutes and you can do day trips from Florence. The wine bar downstairs became our favorite place. We visited multiple times.You can not go wrong staying in this apartment!

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·May 2025
The apartment is well set up for three couples - one bedroom on the first floor has an ensuite with walk in shower, a second bedroom does not have an ensuite but has access to a full bathroom nearby (note shower is a bit small but standard size) the third bedroom is up the stairs also has an ensuite however with two twin beds, and a large ceiling window that can be opened (also has a shade that can be drawn down) - all bedrooms have air conditioning. The kitchen is well stocked and has a dishwasher, fridge and freezer. The in suite clothes washer worked very well and there is a drying rack for drying clothes (did not use the outside clothesline as if items fell off no way to retrieve them). The elevator worked well (limit of 3 persons per trip). We felt the apartment was safe from any intrusions. The apartment is next door to Marione restaurant which was very good.

Perfect spot for all ages of our group, ranging from 17 to 83. Clean, comfortable accommodations that were right in the heart of Florence. We walked everywhere during our mid-April stay, including back and forth to Santa Maria Novella train station, right around the corner. Great communication and information from the owner/property managers. Only 2 suggestions: 1- to leave instructions for how to use the stove. I found the PDF manual online, but still struggled to figure it out. And 2 - some plug-in mosquito deterrents. It wasn't hot enough for A/C, but leaving the windows open meant tons of bug bites overnight!Didn't phase us much, and neither did the rain. We had a great stay. Thanks for the hospitality.
