You'll find it easy to be immersed in Florence’s rich history and culture as this apartment has a perfect location near the Ponte Vecchio and the Arno River. It’s less than 10 metres from the Cathedral of Santa Maria dei Fiori, Piazza della Repubblica, Piazza della Signoria and the Uffizi Museum. You’ll often find musicians and opera singers performing in the square opposite as well. The apartment is on the third floor of a historic building, so there’s no lift, but it’s worth the climb. The open-plan living space is bright, and it accommodates two guests on a sofa bed at full occupancy. Book this place before someone else does.
