Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Tall shuttered windows flood the bedrooms with morning light, and original wooden beams and a living room fireplace give this Florentine apartment a warmth that feels earned. The wine cellar – ideal for a few local Tuscan bottles – is a nice touch for longer groups, and four bedrooms make it a solid choice when you're travelling with a crowd. Step outside and the city's most celebrated corners are close at hand – Ponte Vecchio is a thirteen-minute walk, the Uffizi Gallery a sixteen-minute stroll, and the grand Piazza della Repubblica around twelve minutes on foot.

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.
