Description Timeless Sapphire: Firenze

Contemporary meets character in this Florence apartment. It's in a central spot in the city's heart, only a five-minute walk from the Galleria dell'Accademia and ten from the famous Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. But when you're not out sightseeing, there's plenty of room to stretch out at home. Nothing beats alfresco cocktails and antipasti on the terrace, though your tired feet will appreciate a long soak in the freestanding tub. With windows overlooking Via San Gallo in the charming living area, you'll also never feel too far from the action.

Home truths:
*While one bathroom isn't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*This apartment is located in a busy area. Some street noise from Via San Gallo is possible.
*Though we love the terrace, privacy is a tad limited since it's overlooked by neighbouring buildings.
*A car isn't needed in this location. Many of the city's famous landmarks can be reached on foot. Shops and restaurants are also in the nearby area.
