Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You’d be hard pressed to find a Florence apartment more central than this. All the sightseeing hotspots, including Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria, the Uffizi Gallery, and the Duomo, are within walking distance. But it’s not just the location that impresses at this home. Housed in a historic palazzo, this home has ample space and is a great option for an extended family or group of friends. That said, it’s worth noting that at full occupancy, there's not enough space to sit out on the charming but small balcony. The last two guests will also sleep on a sofa bed in the lounge. But with those magnificent original frescoes above to admire, we don’t think you’ll mind.
