With a fantastic central Florence location and a terrace ideal for twilight drinks, you'll quickly see how this two-storey apartment made it into our collection. While having the terrace comes with a price – the home is on the third floor, and there's no lift – we think it's worth it. Indoors, the wooden ceilings are a nice touch, and having a fully-equipped kitchen is always a plus. When it comes time to explore, you'll find Santa Maria Novella, the San Lorenzo Market, and the Duomo all within walking distance.

Local guide
About Santa Maria Novella
Tucked inside the thirteenth century boulevard that marks out the oldest part of Florence, this neighbourhood is on the western edge of Florence’s historic centre. The Piazza Santa Maria Novella, with its Gothic church and museum, is the centrepiece, and while the area immediately surrounding the train station is fairly gritty, it’s a convenient spot for those just passing through. Though Santa Maria Novella is not directly in the middle...
