Located on inside a restored historical building near Piazza della Republica, Pietra Serena is a great stay if you want the city's museums other sights to be on your doorstep. This is a peaceful home, designed with comfort in mind – there are chromotherapy lights in the living room and bathrooms which let you change the light to suit your mood. The second bedroom's single bed is only accessible via the ladder, but just like the rest of the furniture, it's both stylish and immaculate. We particularly loved the high living room ceiling, which amplifies the natural light.

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...
