Fresco Faintness

Holiday Rental Description

Distressed wooden beams line the high ceilings in this quaint Florence apartment. The accents of distressed wood and exposed traditional stone walls continue throughout the home, adding a layer of Tuscan farmhouse charm to this city apartment. Blink and you'll think you're in a twee cottage in the rolling hills of Tuscany. You wouldn't think you're right in the centre of Florence. It's the perfect blend of traditional charm with city convenience. And convenient it is – you're less than a ten-minute walk from so many of the city's hotspots. But first, the best way to prepare for a day of exploring is a hearty breakfast. Head to a nearby bakery to pick up some local goods and enjoy a beautiful spread around the large table.

When you're ready to venture out, you're just a ten-minute walk from the Uffizi Gallery, Piazza del Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio, and so much more. Enjoy gaping at Renaissance masterpieces, shopping in quaint boutiques, and eating to your heart's content. When your feet can no longer go on, pick up some antipasto and a local bottle of wine to be enjoyed around the dining table before hitting the hay. Your queen-size bed promises a deep, restful sleep, preparing you to wake up refreshed and do it all again the next day.

Home truths:
*Parking in Florence can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot.
*If you're travelling by plane, Florence Airport is a twenty-five-minute drive away.
*The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents.
*This home is located on the third floor with no lift.
*We think the kitchen is better suited to lighter bites than large meals.
*The kitchen lacks basic cleaning supplies, so you might want to bring your own. For longer stays, you will need to buy additional laundry detergent and paper towels.
*The TV only offers Italian channels.
