Duomo Daydreams Firenze, Tuscany

Holiday Rental Description

With its beautifully intricate tiled floors, contemporary furnishings and wonderfully central location, this apartment in Florence’s historic centre is an ideal base for those looking to make the most out of the city’s sights in style.

Though minimalist in design, the decor here has been carefully curated to let the home’s structural features steal the show, with the neutral-coloured furnishings complimenting the rustic, earthy tones of the flooring and the dazzling whiteness of the walls.

We love the terracotta-hued kitchen that’s all set to whip up Italian feasts at home when you’re not out sampling the local trattorias, as well as the two bedrooms – one of which offers views of the Duomo – that beckon a blissful night’s sleep.

And then of course there’s its prime locale, just a seven-minute walk from the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella, an eight-minute stroll from the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and a mere five minutes on foot from the Accademia Gallery – home to Michelangelo's famous sculpture of David.
