Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A well-appointed apartment on the edge of Florence, this Campi Bisenzio base puts you roughly 9 km from the city centre while keeping the chaos of the historic zone at arm's length – the nearby T2 tram connects directly to Florence's centre, so you can leave the car behind in the private covered parking spot. The balcony off the living area is a quiet place to decompress after a day visiting the Uffizi Gallery or Ponte Vecchio, and the underfloor heating and automated shutters mean comfort is never something you have to think about.

At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
Well-behaved pets are welcome to accompany you during your stay.
You're based in Campi Bisenzio rather than Florence itself, so the city is a short drive or tram ride away rather than on your doorstep.

The town itself is a residential and industrial area. It works best as a base for exploring Tuscany rather than as a destination in its own right.
Private parking is available here.

About Tuscany
Perhaps the first region to come to mind when you think of holidays in Italy, there’s no denying Tuscany’s beauty. The term “Rolling hills” could have been coined here, where grapes ripen on vines in the folds of the valleys and ancient towns crown hilltops.
