Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
At this home, you won't have to walk far to see Florence's best sights. Situated in a historic apartment building on the Via Sant'Egidio, you can wake up and be at the Duomo within minutes – ideal if you'd prefer to avoid the crowds. This cosy apartment preserves traditional features such as the original wooden doors and exposed stone, while vintage-style furnishings add to the comfortable atmosphere. There's even a walk-in wardrobe – but you may want to be careful about bringing too much luggage, as there's no lift in the building. With restaurants, bars, and galleries just a short walk away, this home is perfect for immersing yourself in city life.
