The Emerald Maisonette

  • 4 guests

  • 1 bedroom

  • 1 bathroom

  • sq/ft

Minimal and sleek, this central home is perfect for those of us who want to explore and consume all that Florence has to offer. Set within a charming building just behind Florence's unique Piazza della Libertà, the neighbourhood’s character extends to a cafe just one-minute away where you can enjoy a cappuccino before strolling downtown – only fifteen-minutes by foot. The city boasts beautiful architecture, which easily turns every street corner into a photo opportunity as you wander twenty-five-minutes to the Uffizi Gallery where you can truly appreciate Florence’s influence in Renaissance art. The area is steeped in history which has earned Florence the title of the most beautiful city in the world by Forbes in 2010 and declared it a World Heritage Site. After a day spent under the Tuscan sun – think fior di latte gelato, unctuous bowls of gnocchi and afternoons roaming botanical gardens – a home away from home will be waiting with every comfort for your to fully enjoy some R&R.
