Description Vaulted Hideaway: Firenze

You’re in the centre of all things cultural and Florentine at this bijou apartment. It’s less than a ten-minute walk to the Galleria Accademia and museums of San Marco, and a fifteen-minute stroll sees you in the beating heart of the city – the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. In eight minutes you can be stocking up on fresh, local produce at Florence’s Central Market to take back to your cute little apartment.

The full kitchen has everything you need to whip up breakfast, lunch and dinner and an island in the centre provides plenty of prep space. The atmosphere inside feels almost church-like, with vaulted ceilings, smooth walls and detailed cornicing a la the 18th century. Faded frescos add to the old-world theme, but the furniture is distinctly 21st-century comfort. It’s the ideal spot for a historic city break.
