This artistic apartment gives a taste of authentic Florence. It’s within walking distance of all the main attractions, just ten minutes from Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi, but it’s in a quiet, private spot between the river and the hills. Piazzale Michelangelo is nearby, but you don’t need to walk there for iconic views of Florence – just head to the private terrace to admire the Duomo. This fantastic outlook does come at a cost, as there are eighty-five stairs. If you can manage the climb, you’ll be rewarded with a charming oasis.
