City of Lilies Firenze, Tuscany

Holiday Rental Description

Florence's renaissance delights are at every turn with a stay at this sleek apartment, set right in the heart of the city's historic centre. Blaze a trail through the city's romantic, winding streets to discover Brunelleschi's mighty red cathedral dome on Piazza del Duomo (a five-minute walk) or, even closer, Basilica di San Lorenzo (a one-minute stroll). If you fancy a spot of shopping, look no further than outside your door. One of the city's oldest open-air markets with every type of Florentine leather goods going is right there – as are stellar drinking and eating destinations for all the Tuscan fare, pizza, and gelatos you could muster.

Back at this sleek apartment, the home feels like a tranquil hideaway, despite all the action going on outside. Housed in a traditional palazzo building, while the home is completely renovated for modern living, the lofty ceilings remain in the bedrooms giving the space a grandeur feel.

Guests sharing will appreciate the two separate marble-clad bathrooms, so you can be up and at it in no time with a stay here. But you'll love the inner courtyard even more – it's the perfect spot to savour morning expressos or early evening aperitifs before another adventure in this enchanting city.
