Florentine Frescoes

Holiday Rental Description

In the heart of Florence, this apartment makes a characterful and central base. Piazza Santa Croce is on your doorstep, putting you a short walk away from the city's famous landmarks, gourmet eateries, and fashionable shops. It's a fantastic option for those who love a bit of history. The apartment is found in a 17th-century palazzo once owned by Medici bankers – expect frescoed facades, wooden beams, and original shuttered windows offering views of the Basilica of Santa Croce. It's not all old-world charm, though. The bathrooms are modern, the kitchen is well-equipped to rustle up antipasti, and there's a shared gym in the building ideal for morning workouts.

Home truths:
*While one bedroom and bathroom aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*Though there's a lift in the building, the front door to this apartment is six steps down from the elevator landing.
*You'll have access to the building's communal gym here. It's shared with other residents.
*The kitchen is on the smaller side, though there is a hob and a combination microwave oven. We think it's best suited to rustling up lighter bites.
*You won’t need a car in this central location. All of the landmarks are within easy walking distance.
*This apartment is on a busy piazza home to one of Florence’s famous landmarks. Some street noise is likely.
