Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Found in the breathtaking city of Florence, this home also captures beauty in an understated way. With exposed beams, a neutral colour palette that works perfectly alongside the gold elements, and a touch of rustic, this home feels welcoming and cosy. Spend evenings cooking fresh pasta in the open kitchen and dining space as you drink wine and talk about everything you got up to during the day. This might include little more than reading Dante Alighieri's poetry, but with so much to do on your doorstep, we encourage you to at least try to leave the comforts of this home behind. Take a walk through the Boboli Gardens – only ten minutes away – or see some of the most outstanding collections of ancient sculptures and paintings at the Uffizi Gallery. Find the majestic Church of Santa Maria del Carmine in the Piazza del Carmine three minutes away, and find a cafe for a midday coffee top-up. Eat as much gelato, pizza, pasta and gnocchi as you can manage before coming back for a bit of R&R.

About Arcetri
Arcetri is a quiet area that sits behind the riverside neighbourhoods of Santo Spirito and San Niccolò. Much less dense than the areas directly next to the river, it's a different feel to, but still not far from, the historical centre. The Torre del Gallo, which sits on top of a ridge overlooking Florence, is a highlight – you get some beautiful panoramic views over the red rooftops of the...
