Vacation Rental In Florence: New UNESCO Center Rules

Vue de Florence et du Duomo — location saisonnière à Florence

Florence under pressure

The UNESCO historic center froze new tourist rentals — existing registered activities keep their rights.

Rules

Mandatory CIN (fines up to €8,000), in-person identification, alloggiati reporting, gas/CO detectors, tourist tax. Registered center activities: your acquired rights gained value.

Market

€90-200/night near the Duomo, Santa Croce, Oltrarno. Americans are the #1, high-spending clientele.

Strategies

Districts outside the UNESCO zone remain open; American guests book early via Google and love direct booking — an English CapDirect mini site converts them. Mid-term for US university students is very stable.

Any question?
