Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This elegant Florence home delivers on both style and location. Set in the historic centre, you’re five minutes on foot from the Galleria dell’Accademia and ten to the majestic Duomo – a spot-on base for exploring. Despite the building’s heritage charm (don't get us started on those magnificent gabled ceilings), the apartment is surprisingly practical. Each generously proportioned bedroom has a separate shower room – so there’s no need to tussle for the best room here. All that said, there are a few things to note here. The kitchen is on the compact side, and the apartment building has no lift, so be prepared to climb some stairs. But for a home delivering on so much else, we'll let that slide.
