First of Florence
Self-contained apartments in Florence, from studio to two-bedroom.
A place to stay in Florence
First of Florence is an apartment-style hotel in Florence, Italy, with eight room configurations ranging from a compact studio to a two-bedroom layout that sleeps several guests. Prices start from $82 per night. Every apartment has a kitchen or kitchenette with a stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, and full kitchenware, so guests can cook rather than eat out for every meal. Private entrances, soundproof rooms, and a private check-in process give the stay a more independent feel than a conventional hotel.
Who this stay suits
Apartment-style accommodation with proper kitchens, private entrances, and flexible layouts — suited to guests who want space and independence over hotel services.
Best for
- Families needing extra beds or a sofa bed
- Longer stays where cooking saves money
- Couples or solo travellers on a budget
- Guests with allergies (hypoallergenic rooms available)
Less suited to
- Travellers wanting on-site dining or a bar
- Those expecting hotel-style concierge services
Apartments with real kitchens
Each apartment has a stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, dining table, and a full set of kitchenware. A coffee machine is standard. This is a functional cooking setup, not just a kettle and a minibar.
Private entrances and check-in
Apartments have private entrances within the building, and check-in is handled privately rather than at a shared front desk. For guests arriving at odd hours or preferring minimal contact, this is a practical advantage.
Room configurations for groups
The two-bedroom apartment sleeps guests across one full bed and two twin beds. The Superior and Deluxe layouts add sofa beds for extra capacity. Several configurations suit families or small groups travelling together.
Soundproof rooms in Florence
The apartments are listed as soundproof — a practical detail in a city centre where street noise is common. Air conditioning is also included across all room types.

Arriving in Florence
First of Florence is 5.8 km from Florence Airport (FLR), where the T2 tram runs to Firenze Santa Maria Novella. Firenze Santa Maria Novella station is about 0.9 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. No parking is listed here, so check where to leave a car before driving into the centre. 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.
