It's a great place to stay when exploring the attractions of the city’s bustling north side and the palaces and gardens to the south. The area is known for its artisan jewellers, and has plenty on offer for those looking for boutique shopping, while the central location has the added benefit of great views over the river. This also means, however, that the streets are likely to be heaving with tourists. Guests looking for a bohemian atmosphere or an abundance of authentic restaurants and bars might find it lacks the charm of a more residential area, but between the monuments and squares at walking distance, and the museums along the river, there’s no shortage of things to do. Being steps away from the beautiful bridge – the oldest in Florence – is not to be sniffed at, either.

The interior is warm and inviting, striking the perfect balance between authentic charm and contemporary comfort. We especially love the open-plan living space, primed for relaxation with a compact yet equipped kitchen, a large dining table, a cosy lounge and a majestic fireplace. Perched on the second floor, it feels delightfully peaceful despite its central location and offers beautiful views from its large shuttered windows. After a day of adventure, enjoy a glass of wine while admiring your scenic surroundings before slipping out for your reservation at one of the many eateries nearby.
