Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Set within a historic Florentine building near the Arno, this apartment is worth booking through location alone – Ponte Vecchio is a seven-minute walk, Santo Spirito Basilica just five, and Palazzo Pitti an eight-minute stroll. But the terrace is the real reason to linger: warm evenings here, with a glass of something local and the Florentine sky overhead, are hard to beat. The living room opens directly onto it, making the transition from inside to out effortless. Bedroom and en-suite are quietly elegant, and air conditioning keeps things comfortable when the Tuscan heat builds.

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. Though Santa Maria Novella is not directly in the middle...
