Modern apartment near the Accademia Gallery

Just around the corner from the Accademia Gallery and 5 minutes from the Duomo, lies Residence Hilda, offering modern, airy apartments with all the service of a top class hotel. Giving you the independence, privacy and peacefulness of your own home, these new suites are fully equipped and beautifully decorated. With soft colours and cutting-edge design, apartments contain a kitchenette, bedroom, lounge and bathroom and all the facilities you could wish for, including internet access. Attentive staff are always on call to help you with whatever you need.

The apartment is lovely and had everything we needed for our 5 day stay in Florence. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment and it was great to have a bedroom separate from the living room. It was close to the Duomo and there were plenty of places...

The Hilda is the place we would have liked to find when traveling. Your own place where to feel at home with much space and all the comforts of a hotel.
Hi, I run the Hilda since 2005 together with my family and I love this job: meeting new people and new cultures every day is a great gift and Guests reviews and comments make the rest. Couldn't do anything different.
Florence is in general a very quiet and safe city, probably one of the quietest in Italy (and Europe). Only the central station might be dangerous but only late at night and if you are a woman alone. Residence Hilda is in a safe area, on a side of the main cathedral. You can walk safely till very late and nothing bad will happen. About events, we use our Facebook page to highlights them and inform our Guests of what's on and what will be on so that they can plan their stay considering also what's available in the city in a certain period. For special occasions as Christmas and New Year's Eve we use to send to all our reserved Guests an email with concerts, restaurants, parties and whatever might be of interest. For kids we have the Science Museum, special activities for children (reservation needed) at Strozzi Palace all year round, Archeological Museum, an outdoor playground area 10 minutes away by foot, a baby-sitting service, the Sports festival where children can play many different and new sports at Cascine park, one of the green lung of Florence and, depending on the period, many further activities that will be announced on our Facebook page.
