Snug and intimate, this stylish apartment oozes character. A stone wall faces into neutral tones and deluxe furnishings, lacing the home with an authentically Italian vibe. Suitable for solo travellers, couples or friend groups, it's a restful home in the heart of Florence. Such is the proximity to the must-see sights of this flourishing city, you can walk your way through a sightseeing itinerary. Start at the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, just ten minutes away, before setting your sights further afield. If sightseeing isn't your jam, Florence is home to numerous chic boutiques. Peruse the aisles of authentic shops to immerse your suitcase with an infusion of Italian style. Whether you spend your days shopping or sightseeing, make sure to stop off for some sumptuous food along the way. It's almost compulsory to try pizza when in Italy, but there are a myriad of restaurants spanning the globe. If you don't feel like eating out, you can always rest in the quiet hum of the apartment. Rustle up some fresh food, enjoying each bite whilst a film plays on the TV.

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.
