Toscanella Apartment, Florence Overview
Toscanella Apartment is located in Florence, Italy. Rated 9.0 out of 10 based on 4 guest reviews.
Toscanella Apartment is a self-catering stay in Florence, Italy, suited to travelers who want space and flexibility while still being close to the city’s main sights. Located on Via Toscanella 1, it’s a practical base for exploring on foot, especially if your days revolve around the Uffizi Gallery (about 1.4 km), Palazzo Vecchio (about 1.3 km), and the Ponte Vecchio bridge crossing (about 1.9 km). With a guest rating of 9/10 from four reviews, it’s clearly appreciated by recent visitors, who tend to value the apartment-style setup and the overall care taken during stays.
The apartment configuration is designed for groups that want to live like locals rather than move from hotel to hotel, making it a strong fit for families and pet-friendly trips. Children are welcome, and pets are allowed, so it’s easier to plan a longer itinerary without leaving everyone behind. Travelers also mention comfort and cleanliness as key parts of the experience, supported by the property’s approach to disinfection between stays and its emphasis on safety protocols. You’ll also find contactless check-in/check-out, which can make arrivals smoother when you’re juggling sightseeing plans.
Florence can be busy, and an apartment gives you a calmer rhythm at home base after a day in the historic center. If you’re looking for a place to regroup, cook when you want, and walk to major landmarks without relying on parking, Toscanella Apartment is worth considering—just note that parking is not available on site.
