Uffizi Apartment in the heart of Florence

Staying at Uffizi Apartment feels like stepping back in time, immersing yourself in history and Renaissance art. The street between Palazzo Vecchio and the Uffizi has a rather curious name: Via della Ninna, or “Lullaby Street,” recalling the gentle song parents use to soothe their children to sleep.

Space
The apartment blends tradition with modern comfort, featuring a fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning, and a relaxing shower.
Carefully selected lighting and designer furnishings express refined taste and a love for architecture and interior design. Every detail has been crafted by local artisans who helped make this home truly unique.

Located on the third floor (no elevator) of a historic building on Via della Ninna—directly across from Palazzo Vecchio and just steps from the Uffizi—it offers one of the most privileged locations in Florence, with beautiful views right in the heart of the city.

The 70 sqm apartment is organized in a contemporary style. It includes two double bedrooms, a bright and spacious living/dining room with a sofa bed (for two guests), two bathrooms with showers, and a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, oven, stove, kettle, toaster, and a Nespresso machine.

Anyone with an appreciation for beauty, elegance, and modern design—combined with the charm of a historic building—will enjoy their stay here.

Important: The apartment is on the third floor with no lift and spread across three internal levels, and is therefore not suitable for guests with mobility limitations.

Neighbourhood
Via della Ninna, the street between Palazzo Vecchio and the Uffizi, owes its unusual name to a medieval painting once housed in the Church of San Pier Scheraggio. The church was partly demolished and partly absorbed into the Uffizi complex, though some of its arches are still visible along the wall.

According to tradition, the painting—attributed to Cimabue—depicted a tender Virgin cradling the sleeping Child, earning it the nickname “Madonna della ninna nanna” (Madonna of the lullaby). Another story suggests the name derived from the “Compagnia della Ninna,” a local confraternity connected to the church.

Like many streets in central Florence, Via della Ninna carries a name shaped by centuries of history. Observing the surviving arches and columns along the Uffizi wall is a fascinating reminder of the city’s medieval past.
