*Please Note: The Florence Institute is not responsible for agrements made between students and housing agencies. We generally recommend that you are careful reserving apartments online, until you have seen them, as sometimes photos do not fully represent the reality of the apartment. In addition, it is advisable to visit the apartment to gauge distance from the school.
*As in most countries, please note that it is required when renting apartments in Florence to leave a security deposit of one month’s rent before entering the apartment, which will be refunded at the end of your stay (if there is no damage to the apartment).
We advise that you research potential apartments before you arrive in Florence, and try to set up appointments to view some when you get here.
