About
First Of Florence
First Of Florence is an apart-hotel on Via Dei Servi, right in the heart of Florence's historic centre. It places you within an easy walk of the Duomo, the Accademia gallery and the Uffizi, and the reviews consistently call the location superb.
The property offers a range of apartments, from studios to two-bedroom units, each with a kitchen or kitchenette, air conditioning and soundproofing. Guests highlight the thoughtful welcome – wine and fruit on arrival – and the helpful host, Laura.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Dining rated poorly — The 'Dining' category scores just 5, and breakfast is served at an outside café, which some guests weren't sure about at first.
- Check-in only 15:00–18:00 — You must arrive within a three-hour window in the afternoon, which can be tight if your travel plans are uncertain.
- Rooms and cleanliness could be better — The 'Rooms and cleanliness' category is rated 6, which is below the hotel's overall score. Some guests may find maintenance or housekeeping inconsistent.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place – the hotel doesn't accept animals.

8.5Verified guest“The staff were thoughtful and the rooms were elegant and updated, with a kitchen, pull-out sofa and a double bed. The location was particularly good — a moderate walk from the Bargello museum, in a safe area.”
8.5Verified guest“Breakfast had plenty of choice: fresh bread slices and fruit. The hotel was central, so close to everything.”
8.5Verified guest“Brilliant location close to the Annunziata and the Accademia. The accommodation was first class, and being an apart-hotel meant we could pop back between sightseeing trips. The wine, pasta and other food there on arrival was a lovely welcome. Laura was helpful and informative.”
8.5Verified guest“The room was spacious, clean and well furnished, central and within walking distance of everything. I wasn't sure about the breakfast at the café across the road, but the service and food were excellent and made you feel part of the community. Laura was very helpful, and fresh fruit and wine in the room was a nice touch. Would stay again.”
8.5Verified guest“Excellent central location, quality furnishings, free internet, and competent, efficient reception. Laura was most helpful.”
8.5Verified guest“The room was nicely decorated with really nice furniture and a huge dressing — great for the ladies. It had all the facilities you need, plus treats like wine and fruit. The location is just great, 100 m from the Duomo square on a nice small street. Laura was very helpful. Free internet in reception and rooms. A very pleasant stay I'd recommend to anyone — looking forward to going back.”
