Step back in time when you stay at this traditional home, just a ten-minute walk from central Florence. The apartment has retained its original features – think wood-beamed ceilings and exposed brick walls – while being tastefully adapted to modern living. Get set for a comfortable and characterful time in the Tuscan capital. The decor here is a medley of quirky antique-feel pieces and contemporary furnishings. Statement sinks and washed timber finishes bring a rustic feel to the space – you could almost imagine you're living in a remote Italian village. Yet the apartment is a short stroll from Florence's most-loved sights, from the Palazzo Pitti (fifteen minutes away) to the Basilica di Santa Croce – a gentle ten-minute hop across the river. Spend the day sightseeing then return home for a late-night aperitif in the snug living room.
