Housed in a historic Florentine building dating back to the 15th century, this apartment wears casual grandeur on its sleeve. Tucked away in a residential area yet within a short walk from the city’s most iconic sights, this home is an ideal base for anyone looking to make the most out of Florence’s illustrious culture. Admire the communal entrance’s ornate frescoed ceiling before climbing the stairs up to your apartment. Decked out in contemporary decor yet retaining a rustic edge with its wooden accents and parquet floors, you’ll immediately feel welcome in the bright living area – whether perched on the sofa with a glass of wine or gathered around the table for an Italian feast. The bedrooms are elegantly simple offering a restful night’s sleep, while the bathroom makes a strikingly vibrant impression with its gleaming blue tiles. When you’re not hanging out in your historic home, go out and explore the many sights around you. The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the Uffizi Gallery and Piazza della Signoria are all a ten-minute walk away, while the Ponte Vecchio is fifteen minutes away on foot.
