Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Set in a great location that’s within walking distance of the historic centre, this apartment is an ideal base for seeing the sights of Florence. Our favourite feature is the sunny garden – a rare find in the city and a scenic spot for morning coffee or evening drinks. There’s a kitchen for cooking an Italian feast (stock up on supplies from a local market), plus three comfy bedrooms to welcome you home after a long day of exploring. It’s worth noting that if eight of you are staying, two will sleep on the sofa bed. But location-wise, it’s a winner – less than twenty-minutes’ walk from the Duomo, and twenty-three from the Ponte Vecchio.
