This apartment offers a relaxed and easy stay in the historic heart of Florence. Nestled inside a Palazzo dating back to 1500, you’ll be welcomed by a wonderful sense of character. There’s also private terrace for evening drinks, while the rooms are perfect for families with the handy addition of a sofa bed in the living room. It’s worth noting you can hear street noise from one of the bedrooms, but we think the location more than makes up for it. From here, it’s just a short stroll to iconic sights like the beautiful Basilica of Santa Croce, the Market of Sant'Ambrogio and the Duomo.
