In the very heart of this marvellous city, this Florence vacation apartment is the perfect base for discovering the art, architecture, shops and restaurants of the town.
Less than 5 minutes walk from Il Duomo (the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral), you could hardly be closer to the heart of what’s happening in Florence. Head to the Piazza del Duomo and marvel at the architectural triumvirate of the cathedral itself, its neighbouring Baptistery and the Campanile (bell tower).
Nearby lies the Bargello, the prime sculpture museum in the city. And head a little way south of Piazza del Duomo to the Piazza della Signoria and the Palazzo Vecchio along with the Uffizi Gallery. You can then cross the Arno by way of the Ponte Vecchio (the bridge a remarkable remnant of Renaissance Florence).

More perhaps than any other city, Florence lives its rich history. Step into any church and you are likely to see works by the great Italian masters of the Renaissance adorning the walls.
And when you tire of culture, you have markets, shops, bars and marvellous restaurants on your doorstep. Tuscan and Florentine cuisine is among the best in Italy ... simple, fresh ingredients, simply yet elegantly prepared. With some of the world’s best wines originating from Chianti, eating out in Florence is never less than a pleasure.
