A third-floor apartment on a quiet residential street in Santo Spirito, this is a Florentine address – a few minutes' walk from Piazza Santo Spirito, Palazzo Pitti, and the Ponte Vecchio.

Inside, the rooms are carefully designed and full of natural light, with a kitchen equipped for proper cooking if you feel like dining in.
