Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
With this apartment, you can reach many of Florence’s key landmarks within a short walk. We’re talking Piazza San Marco, the cathedral, Basilica di San Lorenzo and much more. You’ll also be steps away from the Central Market with its food court and souvenir stalls. The apartment itself, situated in a historic building, has a large living room, which also has a sofa bed. We love the character features, including the fireplace, intricate tiles and ceiling frescoes. Here you can experience Florence like a local.

Host
This home is managed by Gaetano
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Gaetano and his team have a handful of places in Italy that they’re responsible for, and we’re big fans. It’s worth noting that it might not be Gaetano himself who checks you in, but the rest of the team are all really nice as well.
