San Frediano Flair

San Frediano Flair: Tuscany

If you want to explore Florence on foot, then head for this sleek apartment in the San Frediano district. A short stroll away from many of the city's best-loved attractions, it's the perfect place to begin your adventures.

Fans of minimalist style will love this home, with its crisp white walls and wooden floors creating a soothing ambiance. The heart of the home is the ultra-modern kitchen, where you can embrace your inner nonna and whip up your favourite pasta dishes to enjoy with a glass of Chianti. And, the bedrooms are wonderfully peaceful – you can fall asleep thinking about your plans for the following day.

From here, the Palazzo Pitti is ten minutes away on foot, where you can admire the Renaissance architecture, marvel at the art collection, and then stroll through the Boboli Gardens. Cross the river, and you can walk over to the city's famous basilica and cathedral in under fifteen minutes. And, when you get hungry, there are plenty of family-run restaurants to choose from, serving local Tuscan dishes.

Home truths:
*You can use your laptop at the dining table if you need to work remotely.
*If you're arriving by car then you'll need to find a local car park as this home does not have parking.
*The kitchen is lacking some basic crockery and cooking utensils, so it might not be the best choice if you're planning family meals in.
