Florence with Love Florence, Tuscany

Property Description

On a typical street, lined with period buildings, this charming loft home is a real retreat from the city. Comfortable and homey, it's just a short walk from all the major attractions, with the Basilica of Santa Croce just steps away from its door.

Once you've climbed the stairs (and there are a few to deal with here), you'll be rewarded with a beautifully modernised apartment with ancient beamed ceilings and a combination of period and contemporary styling. The open-plan living space has twin windows overlooking the street, and you'll have everything you need to cook at home and eat at the dining table. Perfect for a couple or a solo traveller, but also offering a sofa bed to increase the guest count, we particularly love the olive green bedroom.

Home truths:
*Although we think it's perfect for two, this apartment can accommodate up to four guests thanks to a sofa bed in the living room *Those with heavy luggage should be aware you can only access the home via a steep, narrow staircase *It's not the brightest apartment we've seen *Children aged two and over are considered adults when booking this apartment – there are no cots or high chairs provided *The home has a shared entrance *It's worth noting that the mattresses here are on the firmer side, so not everyone might find them comfortable *Given the home's location, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *It's possible you may hear some noise from neighbours during your stay
