In a city celebrated for its rich heritage and well-preserved architecture, this apartment is strikingly contemporary in comparison to many other nearby homes. As you walk through the front door, it's plain to see that every aspect has been carefully considered, from the abstract artwork hanging on the walls and stylish furnishings and the eye-catching minimalist kitchen — which admittedly might be a little too minimalist for guests with grand culinary ambitions. To top it all off, the bedroom and black marble ensuite would be right at home in the city's most covetable hotels. Sitting only a minute's walk from Ponte Alla Carraia, the excellent location means that attractions both north and south of the River Arno are easy to reach. In one direction, you can cross the bridge and reach Pitti Palace in ten minutes on foot, while the same amount of time in the opposite direction will take you to the mighty dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.

Local guide
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...
