If you like exploring cities on foot, then this is the place for you. Nestled in the heart of the city, within walking distance of many of the main sights, this apartment is a glorious gateway to the wonders of Florence.

The interior is a blend of modern style and traditional charm – think crisp white furnishings, terracotta tiles, and rustic wooden ceiling beams. You'll love whipping up your favourite pasta dishes in the kitchen, and gathering around the table to share food and stories of your adventures. And, the two bedrooms are soothing and tranquil, so you're guaranteed a peaceful night's sleep after a busy day exploring.

From here, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella are both just a short stroll away. After you've ticked them off your sightseeing list, you can stop off at one of the pretty piazzas for an espresso or some lunch as you admire the city's breathtaking architecture. And, if you cross the River Arno, you'll arrive at the Palazzo Pitti, the Renaissance royal palace with an impressive art collection.
