Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located in the historic district of San Lorenzo, this home is ideally situated to experience Florence, and immerse yourself in the medieval streets as you wander the area. Start each morning here with a cappuccino and frittata breakfast, enjoyed alfresco on the terrace area on warmer days. Then, head out for a day of exploring and visit the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore or the Duomo – both only a short six-minute walk away, or take in some art at the Uffizi Gallery – reachable in thirteen minutes on foot. The street adjacent to this home is perfect for lunches, dinners and shopping, with many restaurants, trattorias, cafes and shops reachable in just one minute on foot. Plus, the main city market is also only a one-minute walk away, providing the perfect shop for picking up some produce to cook at home. Why not also go on an Italian wine tasting – which can be reached in as little as one minute on foot – and choose your favourite tipple to take home and enjoy with your authentic Italian pizza outside in the courtyard.

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.
