Botticellian Beams

Holiday Rental Description

Located in Florence’s historic San Frediano district, this comfortable apartment puts you in an ideal spot from which to explore the city’s historic and cultural must-sees.

As you step into the open-plan living area, you’ll immediately notice its tall beamed ceilings that feel charmingly rustic and wonderfully Florentine. Wood floors and pared-back contemporary furnishings complete the scene, with a beautifully tiled kitchen here too. Prepare a celebratory Italian meal when you’re not out sampling the local trattorias, before sitting down at the dining table to feast over a bottle of locally bought wine.

The two bedrooms are inviting spaces in which you’ll have no trouble finding a good night’s rest, and each has a desk space too should you need to mix business with pleasure. Factor in the tiled bathroom’s relaxing rainfall shower – sure to get any day off on the right foot – and you have everything you need for a carefree stay.

When it comes to sightseeing nearby, you've got plenty from which to choose with the Pitti Palace and Ponte Vecchio both a ten-minute walk away, Piazza Santo Spirito an eight-minute stroll and Giardino Torrigiani seven minutes away on foot. You’re also a fourteen-minute walk from the Uffizi Gallery – across the River Arno – while the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is sixteen minutes on foot from your door.
