This stylish apartment makes a wonderful base for your Florence getaway. We love the location – just a few minutes’ walk from the iconic Duomo, with cafes, boutiques, and restaurants right on your doorstep too. Whether you’re here to sightsee, shop, or simply soak up the city’s Renaissance charm, you couldn’t be better placed. Inside, the home feels bright and refined, with elegant finishes and a modern-day feel. Every space is inviting, though the mezzanine is a little snug, and two guests will sleep on the sofa bed up there at full capacity. Still, we think it’s a charming and convenient place to call home.
