Maintaining much of its old Florentine essence, this charming apartment invites you to unwind and experience the city in all of its shining glory. Achingly beautiful interiors greet you upon arrival, with the typical elements of the historical building preserved and celebrated – you'll immediately notice the ornate fresco walls and cotto tiles, as well as the stone and pietra serena antrum of the doors. To top it off, you're also in prime position for sightseeing and exploring with the apartment's central location, just footsteps from the Basilica of Santa Croce. Return from a day spent ticking off your Florence bucket list, sinking into the plump sofa under the rustic reassurance of the wood beam ceiling. There's plenty of space to relax, with patterned rugs, ornaments, houseplants, and even your host's own paintings and sculptures dotted around the place, adding visual interest and plenty of home comfort. There's also an office space for those who'd like to get their own creative juices flowing, plus a fully-equipped, Florentine-style kitchen and two separate dining tables for a romantic dinner in. When it's time to head out, you're just a two-minute walk from Piazza della Signoria and the Uffizi, while Sant'Ambrogio, one of the oldest neighbourhoods in the city, is just ten minutes from your door on foot. And of course, you're surrounded by fabulous restaurants, bars, and cafes for when you're deciding on places to frequent come evening.
