If you're looking for a base that's tucked away from the hustle and bustle of central Florence, yet still within easy reach of its hotspots, this apartment is the perfect choice. Here, you’re a twenty-minute walk from the Ponte Vecchio and a short bus or car ride from the renowned Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. After sightseeing adventures, the home’s private balcony is just the spot for a glass of Italian wine. And when it’s time to get some shut eye, the beds ensure a good night’s rest – just note that one guest will sleep on a sofa bed if you’re staying as a group of five.
