Perfectly placed in the very heart of Florence, this enchanting apartment draws you in with its warm, autumnal colours. With contemporary furnishings, eclectic artwork and one-of-a-kind treasures produced by local artisans, it can be easy to forget that you’re in a building steeped in history that dates back to the fourteenth century. To say that this home oozes glamour is an understatement – even the wallpaper is something special and covers not just the walls, but also the wardrobes, to give the apartment a very unique look and feel. Team that up with a black marble bathroom with wall-to-wall mirrors and black parquet floors throughout, and you can see the home simply exudes elegance. Filled with natural light, yet with beautiful wooden window shutters and double curtains, you’re guaranteed to wake up in your comfortable king-size bed refreshed and ready to stroll through the city, taking in the sights. Stop for a bite to eat in one of the many traditional trattorias, or visit the nearby Santa Maria del Fiore di Firenze, perhaps better known as the Duomo, the impressive cathedral on the Piazza del Duomo.

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.
