Bright and homely, this charming Florentine apartment is perfect for couples or a small family on a getaway in the city. There’s no lift here, as expected in a beautiful Liberty-style building, so you’ll need to climb stairs to reach the home. Still, it’s a small price to pay for the location. We love the second bedroom, accessed via a spiral staircase and oozing tranquillity – just watch your head on those sloping ceilings and beams. And when you’re ready to explore, many major sightseeing spots are within walking distance, while the Belfiore tram stop is nearby for jaunts further afield.

Home truths
There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
The ceiling on the upper floor is on the low side in some areas. It might not be suitable for taller guests.
The second bedroom is accessed via an open-tread, spiral staircase. If you're travelling with children, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
Parking in Florence can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
Out of respect for neighbours, noise must be kept to a minimum between 11pm and 9am.

Local guide
About Santa Maria Novella
Tucked inside the thirteenth century boulevard that marks out the oldest part of Florence, this neighbourhood is on the western edge of Florence’s historic centre. The Piazza Santa Maria Novella, with its Gothic church and museum, is the centrepiece, and while the area immediately surrounding the train station is fairly gritty, it’s a convenient spot for those just passing through. Though Santa Maria Novella is not directly in the middle...
