Brick & Arch

Holiday Rental Description

From its exposed brick walls to its beamed ceilings and arched windows, this rustic-meets-modern apartment is a slice of Florentine traditionalism, given a swish 21st-century sparkle.

The open-plan main room is the home’s sociable heart, with plump sofas congregated around a large screen for cosy movie nights over a bottle of Italian wine and an elegant dining space that beckons home-cooked feasts when you’re not out sampling the local trattorias. We love the kitchen’s forest green cabinetry and marble countertops, while the bedroom – a haven of brick and beams – offers a dreamy setting for a blissful night’s sleep. Factor in the large bathroom with a dual rainfall shower, and you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing, pampered stay

And when it comes to exploring, you’re in a prime sightseeing spot with Ponte Vecchio a two-minute walk, the Pitti Palace a three-minute stroll and the Uffizi Gallery six minutes away on foot, just over the Arno. With the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore also just a ten-minute walk and Piazza della Signoria eight minutes on foot from your door, you’ve got the best of the city’s history and culture within easy reach.
