Arriving in Florence
Palazzo Doni by Florence Art Apartments is 6.5 km from Florence Airport (FLR), where the T2 tram runs to Firenze Santa Maria Novella. Firenze Santa Maria Novella station is about 1.4 km away, roughly a 20-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 268 reviews, the property scores 4.8/5. Guests most consistently flag the host, the facilities, and cleanliness as the standout positives. The private-apartment format and the standard of upkeep appear to be the main drivers of satisfaction.
