If you’re hoping to stay in central Florence, you can’t do much better than this apartment. It’s on the ground floor of an ancient palace just a stone’s throw from the Duomo and Accademia. If you’ll be arriving by train, you’ll find Santa Maria Novella station within easy reach. The apartment is elegant, with high ceilings and huge windows. You’ll even have your own small outdoor space to relax in. At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room – if you’re hoping for more space, we’d stick to a guest count of two.

Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room.
Your host may be able to accommodate early arrivals on request.
Your host kindly asks you to respect the quiet hours from 10pm-7am.
We think the kitchenette is better suited to preparing light bites and snacks rather than full meals. You’ll have plenty of Florence’s restaurants and cafes within easy walking distance though.
