Behind the grand stone walls of a 15th-century palace, this renaissance-painted apartment offers a beautiful base for discovering Florence. Found in the heart of the Oltrarno district – known for its local artisans and slower pace – it’s a peaceful retreat after a day exploring the city. The interiors pair antique furniture with elegant fabrics and artworks, giving the space a sense of quiet grandeur. Enjoy a coffee on the small balcony or take in the serenity of the building’s impressive courtyard. While the kitchenette is best for light bites, the surrounding streets are filled with authentic trattorias.

Home truths:
*The kitchenette is compact and best suited for preparing light snacks and simple breakfasts rather than full meals. You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob.
*If you plan to arrive after 6pm, your hosts ask you to send an ID for each guest in advance, so check-in is faster.
