Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You'll find this fuss-free apartment in the riverside neighbourhood of San Niccolò, where local wine bars, trattorias, and artisan boutiques await. The panoramic Piazzale Michelangelo is a ten-minute stroll uphill, while the Ponte Vecchio is walkable in fifteen minutes and leads to the city's historic heart. Back home, you can catch a glimpse of the Arno River and the Duomo from the balcony. The style is simple but comfortable, with all the essentials to settle in. It's on the second floor and lacks a lift – still, we think it's a practical option in a laid-back location.

About Piazzale Michelangelo
Named for the impressive eponymous square, this area is home to several gardens, churches, and villas that offer stunning views over Florence.
