Faded Frescoes

What better way to enjoy a stay in Florence than staying in a historic palazzo built for a noble family. Once the Branchi di Leonbianco’s administration building, this place still holds the charm of 19th century Florence within its walls. Think faded fresco ceilings and a rich palette of midnight and taupe. This studio apartment may be small, but it’s undeniably plush, with tufted velvet chairs at the table for two, and an inviting sofa for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The kitchenette in raven-black has everything you need to whip up a quick meal.

But there are plenty of restaurants, cafés and bars in the streets around you. You’re in the heart of Florence here, a stone’s throw from the museums of Piazza San Marco and the world-famous Accademia Gallery. A twelve-minute walk sees you in the beating historic heart of Florence, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.

Home truths:
*This is a studio so space is at a premium
*The kitchenette has a microwave and hob but not a full oven
*This apartment is in a historic building on the second floor, so you'll have to climb some steps to reach it
*There is no parking with this apartment but you're in the heart of Florence with traffic restrictions anyway, so having a car is more of a hindrance
