Tucked into the historic heart of Florence, you’ll have the city at your feet when you stay in this chic apartment. Perfect for families or a group of friends, there’s plenty of space to spread out here. And, while the outdoor space is fairly basic, it’s a nice spot for an after-dinner aperitif as the sun sets. Location-wise, you’ll find the iconic Basilica of Santa Maria Novella a mere 200-metre stroll from the apartment. And with restaurants lining the local streets, authentic Florentine cuisine is never far away.

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.
