Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Cosy and compact, what this apartment may lack in space, it more than makes up for in location. Based in the very heart of Florence's city centre, this home boasts a beautiful vista of the Duomo of Florence's famous cathedral – in fact, the view sits so perfectly in the frame of the home's French balcony doors, that it almost looks like fine art on the wall. Inside the home is calm and soft – and while you won't find bells and whistles here, you'll find a laid-back place to cook up your favourite meals and get your head down in between busy days adventuring around the city.
