Located in the old town center of Florence, Residence La Contessina combines studios and full apartments with kitchen with the comfortable services typical of a hotel with a welcoming and charming atmosphere.

La Contessina Residence is a quiet haven situated in the historic centre of Florence.

The property features 45 sqm one-room apartments which include a bedroom, kitchen/living area and bathroom. A 24-hour reception desk provides all sorts of tourist information.

Thanks to a broad assortment of rooms, a meeting hall, relaxing flower-decorated cloister and elegant breakfast room, Residence La Contessina is also an enchanting location for exhibitions, meetings or special events.

Bicycles, which are becoming increasingly fashionable in the art cities, are provided for your use free of charge.

A buffet breakfast is served in the Renaissance White Room. The bar can be reserved for wine tastings, aperitifs and cocktails.

We have special arrangements that will interest those dedicated to fitness and lovers of open-air sports: a gym, which includes a Thermarium spa, is just a few steps from the apartment hotel and the Golf Club dell'Ugolino is just 6 km from Florence.

We pay particular attention to families with babies and provide cribs and high chairs at no charge. You can even reserve a baby sitter. Children up to age two are our favorite guests and stay free!

Our city has a wealth of things to do! An excellent solution for long stays, Residence La Contessina offers attractive rates for those who intend to stay in Florence for a month or more.

Splendid artistic itineraries await you: the permanent exhibition at the Cenacolo of Perugino is just a few meters from the apartment hotel; the splendid Gothic Church of Santa Maria Novella is 100 meters away; the magnificent Cathedral of Florence is 200 meters away; the Galleria dell'Accademia, the home of Michelangelo's David is 400 meters away and the Uffizi Gallery is 500 meters away.

The nearby museums of the Medici Chapels and the Palazzo Medici Riccardi, an ancient Medici family residence, are worth a visit. Contemporary style and design are on display in Florence's famous shopping streets: before crossing the Arno River, possibly for a visit to the park of the Boboli Garden, let your eyes feast on the elegant shop windows of Via Tornabuoni.
