Dimora Sant'Orsola
A private apartment feel in the middle of Florence
A place to stay in Florence
Dimora Sant'Orsola is a self-catering hotel in Florence, Italy, with rooms designed around independent living. Each unit has a full kitchen setup — stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, electric kettle, toaster, and kitchenware — so you can shop local markets and cook rather than eat out every meal. The property is pet-friendly, has on-site parking, and rooms include soundproofing and a private entrance. It's a practical choice for anyone who wants more space and autonomy than a standard hotel room provides. Nightly rates start from $74.
Who this stay suits
A self-contained apartment-style stay in Florence with kitchen facilities, parking, and pet-friendly rooms — functional rather than flashy.
Best for
- Self-catering travellers
- Guests with pets
- Families needing interconnected rooms
- Longer Florence stays
Less suited to
- Travellers wanting hotel services and dining on-site
- Those who prefer a traditional hotel atmosphere
Fully equipped kitchen in every room
The kitchen setup goes beyond a kettle and mini-fridge. Each room has a stovetop, microwave, toaster, refrigerator, electric kettle, and a full set of kitchenware and a dining table — enough to cook properly for a few days.
Private entrance and apartment character
Rooms are set within a detached building and each has a private entrance. Hardwood or parquet floors, a sofa, seating area, and desk give the space a residential feel rather than a standard hotel layout.
Practical setup for families and pets
The property has family rooms, interconnected room options, and accepts pets. On-site parking removes one logistical headache for anyone arriving by car — useful given how restricted Florence's city centre driving can be.

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.
Dimora Sant'Orsola has 202 guest reviews and holds a rating of 3.5/5. The property's location, free WiFi, and staff are the qualities most frequently flagged as positives. The apartment-style format — kitchen access, private entrance, pet-friendly policy — appears to be the primary draw for returning guests.
