Dimora Sant'Orsola
A private apartment in Florence, starting at €68 a night.
A place to stay in Florence
Dimora Sant'Orsola is an apartment hotel in Florence, Italy, where each room functions more like a self-contained flat than a standard guest room. The Loft has a full kitchen setup — stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, kettle, toaster, and kitchenware — so guests can cook rather than eat out every meal. The property is detached, smoke-free, and pet-friendly, with parking on site. A private entrance and soundproofed rooms add a degree of independence that a conventional hotel room rarely provides. It currently holds a guest rating of 3.5/5 across 202 reviews.
Who this stay suits
A self-catering stay in Florence with kitchen facilities, parking, and a private-apartment feel rather than hotel-style service.
Best for
- Travellers who prefer cooking over eating out daily
- Guests bringing pets
- Families needing interconnected rooms
- Longer stays where parking and a kitchen matter
Less suited to
- Guests expecting full hotel services
- Those prioritising a high guest-satisfaction score
Apartment layout, not a hotel room
The Loft sits in a detached building with a private entrance. Hardwood or parquet floors, a sofa, a desk, and a seating area give it the proportions of a flat. Interconnected rooms are available, which works well for families or groups who want separate sleeping spaces.
A fully equipped kitchen
The kitchen runs to a stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, electric kettle, and a full set of kitchenware. There is also a dining table, so meals can be prepared and eaten in the room rather than treated as an afterthought.
Parking on site
On-site parking is included, which is a practical advantage in Florence where central parking is limited and can be expensive. The property is smoke-free throughout.

Arriving in Florence
Dimora Sant'Orsola is 5.4 km from Florence Airport (FLR), where the T2 tram runs to Firenze Santa Maria Novella. Firenze Santa Maria Novella station is about 0.6 km away, roughly a 10-minute walk. Florence operates a ZTL limited-traffic zone in its historic centre, where cameras issue automatic fines to unauthorised vehicles. This property lists parking; properties inside a zone can usually register a guest's plate, so confirm access and arrival time before driving in. Italian cities charge a tourist tax (tassa di soggiorno) per person per night, collected by the property rather than included in the booking total; the rate depends on the city and the property's star rating, and many properties still take it in cash.
Across 202 reviews, the property scores 3.5/5. Location, free Wi-Fi, and staff are the areas guests point to most positively. The apartment-style setup and kitchen facilities are among the most-cited highlights, alongside the pet-friendly policy and the private bathroom.
