Florentine Fantasy

Florentine Fantasy: Tuscany

Moments from the famous Ponte Vecchio, this family home is just the ticket for a Florentine getaway. It's been modernised to include all the essential 21st-century comforts – a sophisticated kitchen, sleek bathrooms, and even air conditioning. Yet, you'll find hints of the home's past in the wooden ceilings and original pietra serena staircase leading up to the main suite. Topping it all off is the private garden, where you can relax with a glass of Italian vino and soak up the sunshine. In terms of location, you're sandwiched between two stunning gardens: Bardini Garden and the Boboli Garden. All the landmarks in central Florence can also be reached on foot.

Home truths:
*The two single beds are quite small and are pushed together in an L-shape. We think they're only suitable for younger children. This room also has direct access to the garden.
*Please note that the garden is cared for once a week by a gardener who accesses it from the neighbour's property.
*This apartment is located on the ground floor of a historic building on an uphill street. The main bedroom is located on the upper floor and requires stairs.
*Parking isn't provided, but you'll be able to explore Florence on foot here. Many of the landmarks are within walking distance.
