Close to the Piazza della Libertà, this apartment is a comfortable base for a break in Florence. While it’s a little further out of the centre, a quick trip on the tram or leisurely twenty-minute stroll brings you to the historic heart of the city. There’s ample space to get comfy here, including a triple bedroom that’s great for families and two balconies for breakfast or sharing a bottle of wine. And at dinnertime, wander into town to take your pick of excellent eateries and admire landmarks like the Duomo lit up after dark.
