It seems fitting that for a stay in the glorious city of Florence you’d want to choose a suitably stylish apartment – this lovely gem situated by the river and overlooking the Renaissance bridges and rooftops of the historic centre is just the thing. You’ll be right in the heart of the trendy Oltrano neighbourhood, with its many bars and restaurants, only moments away from all the iconic sights. Arrive to be greeted by an elegant interior, filled with unique pieces and lovingly decorated by your host. We love the colour palette, with deep greens and blues, and bold wallpaper patterns, all working together to create a warm and cosy ambience. This is an ideal base for a family or a small and intimate group of friends who want to take full advantage of all that this beautiful city has to offer. You’ll be able to organise candlelit suppers in the dining area, with the well-equipped kitchen inspiring you to get creative and rustle up some scrumptious Italian dishes. The lounge area features a comfy sofa and lovely lighting fixtures, welcoming you to kick off your shoes and enjoy leisurely evenings of movies and wine with your loved ones. Sweet dreams will find you in the plush bedrooms – you’ll have a choice between two equally elegant ones, each boasting a soft double bed and stylish décor. Wake up refreshed and ready for a day of exploring. Outside your front door lies a lovely communal garden with views over the river, and the local winding streets are full of history and fantastic places to dine out, allowing you to experience the true flavour of Florence, just as the locals do.

About Santa Maria Novella

Tucked inside the thirteenth century boulevard that marks out the oldest part of Florence, this neighbourhood is on the western edge of Florence’s historic centre. The Piazza Santa Maria Novella, with its Gothic church and museum, is the centrepiece, and while the area immediately surrounding the train station is fairly gritty, it’s a convenient spot for those just passing through. Though Santa Maria Novella is not directly in the middle...
