Retaining it's old Florentine features, this charming apartment offers you an authentic experience with the ease of reaching the most celebrated attractions on foot. The real star of the show is the large outdoor patio and garden, complete with seating, potted plants and verdant foliage. Enjoy alfresco breakfasts in the morning sunshine and sip a chilled glass of wine in the balmy summer evenings. Stepping inside, you'll immediately notice the traditional elements of the home – from the beamed ceilings to the azulejo tiled flooring – that add a real warmth to the apartment. Slump down on the huge orange-coloured sofa with a good book, gather your group for lunch in the dining room, and get a restful night's sleep in the cosy bedrooms. When it's time to head out, you'll find yourself in the lively district of San Niccolò, a short stroll from the Arno River. Crossing over the Ponte alle Grazie, you'll be within easy reach of the Basilica of Santa Croce, with typical restaurants and artisan coffee shops nearby.
