Minimal designs, contemporary fittings and an oh-so-central location in the heart of Florence's San Marco district make this home a prime spot for a short stay in the Tuscan capital. With piazza del Duomo just a four-minute stroll away, visit the iconic Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore with ease and convenience. Meanwhile, you'll have the city's iconic Renaissance art museums, such as The Galleria dell'Accademia only a two-minute walk from your front door. Following a fun-filled day of taking in Florence's enchanting history, culture, artworks and food and drink scene – head back to the apartment to catch some respite. Relaxing here is just as easy as exploring as you'll find plenty of space for the whole group to relax. Sprawl across the couch and pour yourselves a glass of locally sourced wine at the dining area or why not try your hand at cooking up some local Tuscan delights? The comfortable bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, invite you to refresh and re-energise for the next day's adventures in gorgeous Florence.
