Rustic yet full of modern comforts, this apartment just a four-minute walk from Piazza Sant'Ambrogio is an ideal base for those looking for the quiet of a residential area yet within easy walking distance of Florence’s most famous sights. Warm earthy tones set a cosy scene in the open-plan living area with tiled floors, exposed brick walls and low-slung beamed ceilings adding a dose of Old World Italian charm to the proceedings. Make yourself comfortable on the sofa with a glass of Italian wine after a day of touring the city on foot or gather together for a meal at the wooden dining table. There’s a desk space here too should you need to catch up on work, while the two bedrooms are pared-back yet chicly styled to give you a blissfully restful night’s sleep. When it comes to sightseeing, walk ten minutes to visit the famous Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and grand Piazza della Signoria or stroll twelve minutes to reach the Uffizi Gallery. You’re also a fifteen-minute walk from the Ponte Vecchio, while countless restaurants and boutiques wait to be discovered right outside your front door.

About Accademia
With the Piazza San Marco at its heart, this area is a hotspot for cultural sights. It’s packed with museums, churches, squares, and historic buildings that can keep you occupied for days on end. This bundle of streets holds some of the greatest artistic heritage in Europe – the Accademia Gallery houses the original David by Michelangelo, and many of the famous Italian painters were members of the Florence Academy...
