Dine beneath exposed timber beams with Tuscan hillside views rolling out before you – it's the kind of scene that makes you linger over breakfast. This loft apartment sits within a historic Florentine villa complex, and the antique wooden furnishings and terracotta-tiled ceilings give it a warmth that feels authentically Tuscan. The on-site parking is a rare find in Florence, and means that you can forego the local buses and drive just minutes to the centre of the city – how about an afternoon at the Uffizi?

Home truths
The apartment is on the first floor with no lift, so it may not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility. There are also a couple of steps in the bathroom.
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area. Please note that the only bathroom here is an en-suite off the main bedroom, so at full occupancy, privacy may be limited.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's free parking on the premises.
The washing machine is shared with other apartments in the building rather than being private to this home, so plan laundry around that.
The two single beds in the sleeping area can be made up as one king-size bed – let your host know your preference before you arrive.
If you're travelling with a baby, your host can provide a cot for free on request.
Your host asks you to respect quiet hours between 11pm and 7am.

About Arcetri
