A Secret Garden Sanctuary in Historic San Zanobi. Nestled in the San Zanobi district, one of the most authentic corners of Florenceâs historic center, this fully renovated 70 mÂČ ground-floor apartment offers a rare blend of city life and private tranquility. Located just steps from the majestic Piazza San Marco and the vibrant Mercato Centrale, the San Zanobi area is beloved for its quiet, residential charm and its proximity to world-class art and the cityâs finest food stalls.
The interior is thoughtfully designed for groups or families, featuring three versatile bedrooms and two modern bathrooms with sleek walk-in showers. The bright living area, centered around a dining table for six, flows into a fully equipped kitchenette. The crown jewel of this home is the expansive 70 mÂČ private garden, a rare find in the heart of Florence, complete with a barbecue and laundry area. With air conditioning throughout and a secluded outdoor oasis, this property is the perfect haven for a relaxing Florentine stay.
We were really impressed with how easy the apartment was to get around. Itâs very spacious and perfectly set up for someone in a wheelchair or anyone who needs more accessibility, which can be hard to find in Florence. Getting there was simple too, just a short walk from the main train station, which made our arrival stress-free. Everything feels fresh, modern, and practical. And even though youâre in the center, itâs amazingly quiet. It gave us both comfort and convenience ..... exactly what we wanted :)
What I loved most about San Zanobi was the patio connected to one of the double bedrooms, such a rare and beautiful feature in the middle of Florence! Having coffee outside in the morning felt so special, like our own private corner of the city. The apartment itself is completely renovated, calm, and quiet, yet just steps from Mercato Centrale and the Cappelle Medicee, two must-see spots in the neighborhood. And the barbecue made evenings even more memorable. It really felt like the perfect mix of local life and home comfort.
Staying at San Zanobi was such a wonderful surprise! Even though itâs right in the heart of Florence, the apartment feels like a little oasis ....so peaceful and quiet. Everything inside is newly renovated, very comfortable, and spotless. The outdoor space with the barbecue was a highlight for us, perfect for relaxing after exploring the city. The location couldnât be better: just steps away from all the main sights, restaurants, and shops. We loved it and would absolutely come back! GRAZIE MILLE
