Ideally located in Florence’s historic centre, this comfortably grand apartment puts you in a prime position to explore the best of the city’s historic hotspots. There’s a definite air of Old World elegance here, with the large living area boasting tall beamed ceilings and a decorative hearth that recalls the building’s rich history. Terracotta tiled floors add to the traditional Italian charm, and the contemporary decor fits seamlessly with its surroundings, creating the perfect balance of rustic and modern. Gather together for sociable breakfasts in the dining room as you peruse the books here over an espresso and spend evenings curled up on the sofas in conversation over a glass of Italian wine. At night, the pared-back bedroom is ready to ease you into a dreamy night’s slumber, certain to leave you rested and raring to go for another day of Florentine adventure. Speaking of exploring, you’ve got a wealth of culture on your doorstep, including Palazzo Strozzi (130 metres away), Palazzo Vecchio (400 metres away), Ponte Vecchio (also 400 metres away), the Uffizi Gallery (500 metres away) and the stunning Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (550 metres away).

Home truths

    There's no lift in the building, so it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility.

    At capacity, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room.

    While there isn't a functional TV here, there are plenty of books to enjoy.

    Toiletries aren't provided, so you'll need to bring your own.

    As you're in a wonderfully central location, some street noise is to be expected.

    The building's entrance is shared with the other residents.

    Florence Airport is about thirty minutes away by car.

    The hot water needs a bit of time to replenish itself.
