When you visit a city like Florence, you want to be right at the heart of things. Soaking up the atmosphere of the city, and immersing yourself in the culture, history, and food is the best thing about a city break. This apartment is perfect for that – it’s in an enviable location in San Niccolò, just a twelve-minute walk from Piazzale Michelangelo. The apartment is neat and bright, with everything you might need for your city break. The bed is comfortable, sitting beneath a traditional wood-beamed ceiling – touches like this add real warmth to the space. In the morning, you might whip up some breakfast in the petite but practical kitchen before heading out sightseeing – or if you’re anything like us, you’ll be touring the local food scene just as keenly as you are the art and architecture. Make your way around the city on foot – everything is within easy reach, and it’s the best way to live like a local. The iconic Ponte Vecchio is eleven minutes away on foot, while the heart of the city – the Duomo – is nineteen minutes away.
