Tucked away in the Porta al Prato neighbourhood, just a couple of minutes from the River Arno, this modern studio apartment is a hideaway in one of the quieter parts of Florence. Perfect for business travellers or solo sightseers, it’s a great base for exploring the city – you can follow the river straight into the historic centre if you’re up to a bit of a walk. The layout is compact but thoughtfully designed, with a cosy sleeping area and a flexible living space – and as an added perk, guests also get access to shared extras like a gym, co-working lounge, solarium and hydropool.

Home truths
Please note this building is due to undergo a full photoshoot in September 2025 – the current images are intended as a representation only. The exact furnishings and layout may vary slightly from what's pictured. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
You'll have access to the on-site gym, co-working space, executive lounge, media room, solarium, hydropool, terrace and outdoor living areas here. They're shared with the building's other residents.
One well-behaved dog is welcome to accompany you during your stay.
The kitchen is compact here. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
Parking in Florence can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.

About Santa Maria Novella
Tucked inside the thirteenth century boulevard that marks out the oldest part of Florence, this neighbourhood is on the western edge of Florence’s historic centre. The Piazza Santa Maria Novella, with its Gothic church and museum, is the centrepiece, and while the area immediately surrounding the train station is fairly gritty, it’s a convenient spot for those just passing through.
