Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
One of Florence’s iconic landmarks, Florence Cathedral, is a few metres from this apartment. A short stroll will also take you to the Uffizi Gallery, Piazza della Signoria, Palazzo Vecchio and Via Tornabuoni with its designer boutiques. There are plenty of eateries on your doorstep, so you may not want to cook at home, but if you do there’s a small kitchenette here. We should also mention that while there’s no formal living room here, there’s an area with seating. The absolute highlight for us though, other than the location, is the glimpses of the Campanile di Giotto from this apartment.
