Nestled in a beautiful historic building in the heart of Florence, this charming apartment exudes elegance and sophistication from every corner. Without doubt, the standout feature is the frescoed ceiling – to say it’s a work of art feels like an understatement. The detail is exquisite, and you’re likely to spend many hours lying back on the comfortable sofas, gazing up and simply admiring its beauty. Dressed in neutral colours and with a unique selection of animal artwork adorning the walls, this apartment will quickly become a calming haven to retreat to after a busy day exploring the picturesque city on your doorstep. Dining out and sampling the delicious Italian cuisine is a must, but when you just fancy a quiet night in, the sleek grey kitchen is more than capable of testing out your culinary skills. When you do feel like venturing out, you can soak up the stunning architecture of many of Florence’s most well-known buildings with Palazzo Strozzi, Santa Maria Novella and the Palazzo Vecchio just some of the delights within walking distance.

Home truths
Parking in Florence can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot.
This home is located on the first floor with no lift.
The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents.
This home is in a central spot, so some noise may be expected.
You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started.
