Ideally located just a two-minute walk from the famous Uffizi Gallery, this modern apartment puts you in a prime position to discover Florence’s most celebrated sights. Pared-back, contemporary decor sets the scene in the open-plan living area where a sofa invites you to make yourself at home with a glass of Italian wine and a dining table beckons breakfasts over fresh coffee ahead of a day of sightseeing. We love the parquet floors featured throughout, as well as the plethora of art prints decking the walls. The bedroom is equally stylish with its inviting bed and gild-framed oil painting, while the bathroom – complete with a stone rainfall shower – is ready to get any day off on the right foot. When you’re ready to set out for a day of adventure, spend some time admiring the Uffizi’s art or take a stroll across Ponte Vecchio, a four-minute walk away. You’re also a three-minute walk from Piazza della Signoria, while the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is eight minutes away on foot.
