The location of this beautiful apartment is fantastic – you’ll be right opposite the Galleria Dell'Accademia. A short stroll away, you’ll also find the Piazza del Duomo and Piazza Signoria, to mention just a few places. Situated in a historic building on the second floor without a lift, this special home is worth the climb. The apartment is owned by the art director of the newspaper "The Florentine" and is filled with artworks. The living area is a great place to relax after exploring the city – this room also sleeps two guests on a sofa bed at full occupancy. We love the views over Via dei Ricasoli too. This place is perfect for discovering the city’s rich culture, history, and art.
