The Green Dome

Immerse yourself in all that the magical city of Florence has to offer with a stay at this charming apartment situated right at the heart of the old town, just steps away from the iconic Duomo. Located in a historic building, this place retains all of its vintage charm while at the same time boasting modern comforts and luxury to make your holiday extra restful.

Enter through the front door to be greeted by a bright living space, with floods of natural light gently streaming in through the large windows. We love the high ceilings with their white wooden beams – what could be more authentically Florentine than that? You’ll find plenty of room to kick off your shoes and relax on the comfy sofa which at night can be pulled out to serve as a double bed. The kitchenette may be small in scale but it has all you need to whip up a quick and delicious supper or breakfast, which you can then enjoy with your loved ones at the elegant dining table by the window.

When you also consider the plush and luxurious bedrooms, with their soft beds and lovely pale tones, as well as the spa-like ambience of the modern bathrooms, you know that you have all you need to have a relaxing stay.

Start your day with a fresh cup of Italian coffee before heading out to discover the many gems of Florence – aside from the proximity to the Duomo you’ll also be a three-minute walk away from the Bargello Museum, which houses many of Michelangelo's masterpieces.
