Not many people have the privilege of saying that their local church dates back to the late thirteenth century and is one of the largest such buildings in the world, but you can include yourself in this number if you stay in this apartment five minutes' walk from the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Aside from the illustrious neighbour, there's plenty to like about this home on the first floor of a historic building. The high ceilings, tall windows and burnt yellow walls lean into the city's architectural heritage, while the minimalist kitchen and sleek bathrooms belong well and truly in the 21st century. As well as this pleasant interior which is generous when it comes to space, the address also benefits from two terraces, one of which overlooks a peaceful garden. There are plenty of other notable attractions in the local area, including Bargello National Museum and Accademia Gallery, which can both be reached in ten minutes on foot. You're well served by restaurants and bars in the surrounding streets, as well.
