This home is situated in the perfect spot to explore Florence by foot. Tucked away in the historic streets that surround the San Marco museum, the apartment's balconies overlook a quiet courtyard. With its high ceilings, parquet floors and oil paintings, it's a quintessentially Florentine residence. We recommend throwing open the shutters and enjoying the birdsong and ambient sounds of the city with your morning coffee. Thanks to its central location, this home has plenty to offer within a stone's throw – stepping outside you'll find yourself just minutes from the Central Market and the Fortezza da Basso. A little further afield are all the gems of the city – from the Duomo to the River Arno, it's all within walking distance.
