Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Florence boasts a lovely rooftop terrace with sweeping views across the city. You'll have space for dining alfresco, and shops and supermarkets are just minutes away on foot. There's a large flight of steps to reach the entrance, which won't be suitable for everyone, but the views and location are more than worth it. If you're looking for a cosy spot that's a bit out of the way but still within walking distance of attractions and restaurants, look no further.

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

There's no lift here and seventy-six steep stairs to reach the entrance of this home, and a few steps inside.

The building's garden is shared with the owner, but everywhere else is private.
