Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located in a 19th-century building next to Piazza d'Azeglio, this apartment is a great option for an inspiring Italian adventure. Outside, you can stroll to Santa Croce in just ten minutes, and you’ll find the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio are less than a twenty-minute walk away. Back at home, you can relax with aperitifs on the private patio. It’s worth noting the living room and kitchen are small and groups of six may find it a bit of a squeeze. That being said, it’s ideal for families and couples looking for comfort and simplicity in a central location.

Home truths
This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay.
At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area. Please also note this home may be a bit small for six guests.
You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started.
If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. Light sleepers might want to pack earplugs.
