Near the Stibbert Museum
Giglio Bianco is located in via Vittorio Emanuele II, near the spectacular Giardino dell'Orticultura, just outside the historical city centre of Florence. The location is perfect for those travelling by car as it is outside the limited traffic zone. This tranquil residential area provides easy access to all of the city's main monuments including the Duomo of Florence, or the Fortezza da Basso. In the immediate vicinity we suggest a visit to the the Giardino dell'Orticultura with boats a unique greenhouse, or the Stibbert Museum, which houses an impressive collection of weapons, armors and much more.

Otherwise guests can catch a taxi from just outside the trainstation and arrivae at the apartment within minutes.
Distances from some of the main monuments of Florence
The unit is lovely, really well decorated, fresh, modern and clean, but we were missing some basics that would have been a real problem if we were staying longer than a day. We did not have enough towels, we did not have sheets for the loft bed and the kitchen was equipped with really just the minimum. There was no way to light the stove and I had to go out looking for a store open at evening time (good luck!) in order to buy a lighter or matches. None of this was that bad, just inconvenient and frustrating for a family paying high season prices. The door to the balcony did not open and that was disappointing. Outdoor space and fresh air are important criteria for which renters pay extra and the pictures showed a balcony door, which I was looking forward to. If owner adds some more kitchen items, will help.
Location was great and it was an easy drive to the historical part of the city.
