You can easily walk to Florence’s best-loved landmarks from this centrally located apartment. Moments from Santa Maria Novella basilica, it’s also ten minutes on foot from the cathedral and only fifteen to the Uffizi Galleries. After all those sightseeing steps, this is a great place to recharge your batteries. There’s ample space for a solo traveller or couple, but the best bit is waiting outside. The living room leads to a private terrace and outdoor kitchen – perfect for pre-dinner drinks or a laid-back breakfast. The city’s main station is also right across the road, which is handy if you’re travelling by train.

Local guide


About Santa Maria Novella

Tucked inside the thirteenth century boulevard that marks out the oldest part of Florence, this neighbourhood is on the western edge of Florence’s historic centre.
