Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Nestled in the historic Via del Porcellana, this Florence pad is an ideal base for friends and families alike. We love the seamless blend of old and new here, with exposed wooden beams mixing with modern decor, giving character to the home. But for us, this apartment is all about the location. Mere steps from Santa Maria Novella square, sightseeing is a must. If food’s on your mind, the Central Market of Florence is just 800 metres away, and of course, the local streets are lined with traditional Tuscan restaurants, so dining out is always on the menu.

Local guide
About Santa Maria Novella
Tucked inside the thirteenth century boulevard that marks out the oldest part of Florence, this neighbourhood is on the western edge of Florence’s historic centre. The Piazza Santa Maria Novella, with its Gothic church and museum, is the centrepiece, and while the area immediately surrounding the train station is fairly gritty, it’s a convenient spot for those just passing through.
