This elegant apartment in Florence’s Duomo-Santa Maria Novella district puts you right in the heart of the city’s dynamic centre with countless points of historic and cultural interest within easy walking distance. Housed in a historic building, you’ll find endless pleasure in admiring the views of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore from the living room’s windows and gathering together for meals at the dining table with Florence’s red rooftops as your backdrop. We love the sweeping staircase that creates an eye-catching feature in the main room, adding an additional touch of grandeur to the chic white aesthetic that contrasts beautifully with the dark wood floors and arched windows. With three stylishly comfortable bedrooms to boot – not to mention a trio of bathrooms boasting rainfall showers and an enviable bathtub for long soaks after a busy day of touring the city – you’re all set for a blissful stay. Outside of your home, the city’s most iconic sights wait to be visited and explored, including Florence Cathedral, the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella, the Strozzi Palace and Piazza della Repubblica among countless others. In addition, you're spoilt for choice when it comes to dining options with innumerable restaurants and bars outside your door waiting to give you a true taste of Florentine flair.

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.
