Staying here, you get a real taste of the Florence of the past. The owner, an architect, has lovingly decorated this central apartment in the style of the Florentine Renaissance – you can look forward to tapestries, frescoes and curios in every corner.

After a day spent sightseeing and exploring the galleries and museums of Florence, standing at the open window with a glass of Chianti while listening to the hustle and bustle of the piazza below is bliss.
