Beamed ceilings, an emerald-tiled shower, and a balcony for watching the Florentine day slow down – this apartment earns its place in one of the world's great cities. The minimal design feels considered without being cold, and the rear-facing position keeps things remarkably quiet for a home this central. From here, Ponte Vecchio is an easy walk, the Uffizi is close, and the historic centre is well within reach. Your host brings nine years of local knowledge to the stay – a bonus when navigating Florence for the first time.

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. The Piazza Santa Maria Novella, with its Gothic church and museum, is the centrepiece, and while the area immediately surrounding the train station is fairly gritty, it’s a convenient spot for those just passing through.
