Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Only a handful of homes in Florence overlook the beautiful Boboli Gardens – and this is one of them. Climb the spiral staircase to discover your own private terrace with a view, the perfect place to unwind after a day spent sightseeing. There’s also a lounge-diner and a separate kitchen for preparing homemade meals (we’ll have pasta please), plus two comfortable bedrooms (one with a bunk bed) and a bathroom. As well as the nearby Boboli Gardens, the apartment is walking distance from the Ponte Vecchio. This medieval bridge will take you across the Arno River to the historic heart of Florence – a walk that’s on many a traveller’s wish list.
