This home is ideal for those who want to be in the heart of the action. It's just minutes from the Ponte Vecchio, as well as the Palazzo Pitti and the Uffizi Galleries, making it a great choice for sightseers. That said, its central location also positions this property for business travellers, too. Freshly appointed with warmth added through characterful pieces, such as bookcases, traditional tiling, and a rustic writing desk, this place has its fair share of strong points. The highlight, though, has to be its balcony that offers bird's-eye views over the streets of Florence.
