The Music of Florence

The Music of Florence: Tuscany

Looking for a characterful bolthole in the historic heart of Tuscany’s capital? This quintessential Florentine apartment should do nicely, set just two minutes from Piazza Santa Maria Novella and five from the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. While the interiors are utterly charming, a home of this heritage does have its quirks. Expect to climb stairs to reach the third floor and a mezzanine space accessed via a small ladder that is unsuitable for young children. It’s also worth noting there's a double sofa bed here and only room for two around the kitchen table. However, there’s heaps of space to spill out in the main living room with those high ceilings and views of the piazza below.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area, which may be better suited to children sharing or a short stay. *There is no lift access, so be prepared to climb stairs to reach the third floor. It’s also worth noting there is a mezzanine area accessed via a small, narrow ladder in the living room, which is unsuitable for younger children. *Pets are welcome to join you at this home. *This home is located within an apartment building with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *Bathroom essentials are provided to help settle you in.
