Overview

Six spacious rooms in a large, quiet apartment located on the first floor of an historical palace in the heart of Florence. The property is just a few steps away from the Duomo and Santa Croce Church. It has been in current owners family since the beginning of the 1900s.
Completely restructured in 2005, the apartment offers single, double, triple and quadruple rooms (each with its own private bathroom), a large breakfast room and a living room for relaxing in. Casa Rovai is tastefully decorated with original 19th and 20th century furniture.

The ceilings of our Guest House are decorated with frescoes, dating from late XVIIth to XIXth century. The house is very quiet since no window faces the streets. There is a small terrace where you can relax.

The guest house is located in the historical neighborhood of San Pier Maggiore.
The street goes back to the second series of walls around the city, and is called Via Fiesolana because during the age of Dante Alighieri the road to Fiesole began here.

Location & Transportation

We are located in the area of Florence's main theatres, between the Pergola and Verdi Theatres, with plenty of typical Tuscan restaurants, cafés, wine-bars, and night clubs nearby which make the quarter lively and animated night and day.
A few steps away, in Ciompi Square, you will find an antiques market and in Ghiberti Square you will find the Mercato di Sant'Ambrogio, a 19th century food market.
