Description
Leave no corner of Florence's romantic streets unturned with a stay at this modern loft-style apartment, set right in the beating heart of the historic centre.
Lose yourself within its narrow, winding streets leading to piazzas filled with architectural masterpieces and Renaissance statues around practically every corner. And no visit to Florence is complete without a selfie outside (and a tour inside) of Brunelleschi's mighty red cathedral dome on Piazza del Duomo (a mere five-minute walk), and even closer, the marble-clad Basilica di San Lorenzo (a one-minute stroll).
When thoughts turn to food, take your pick from charming trattorias, buzzy bistros, hip cocktail bars, and everything else in between – it's all for the taking in this happening part of town. And if you fancy a spot of shopping, the city's oldest open-air market is right outside the door of this impressive period apartment building.
From the outside, this place could be straight out of the Renaissance. But step inside, and it's a different story, with sleek, contemporary interiors providing a refreshing contrast to the ornate grandeur in the streets below. Downstairs the slick, modern kitchen has everything you need to rustle up something to eat, and there's plenty of room to crash out in the living area. But it's upstairs, in the vast bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, impressing us the most. Fling the floor-to-ceiling windows wide and peer out over the awakening streets below with your morning coffee – it's everything you imagine Florence to be.
