In the heart of Florence's trendy Oltrarno neighbourhood, this charming apartment is ideal for friends and families. Located on the top floor, both bedrooms have their own en-suites and there's a small balcony with space to stand out and enjoy the fresh air. The central location means you can expect some outside noise and one of the bathrooms is very small, but you'll have everything you need for a comfortable stay and the location is great for sightseeing. You'll be right across the road from the beautiful Palazzo Pitti and Boboli Gardens, and public transport is nearby for getting around.

This home is in an apartment building in a central location, so you can expect to hear some outside noise during your stay.
