In a privileged setting, a mere fifty metres from the Piazza del Duomo and the looming Campanile di Giotto, this apartment is an ideal choice for first-time visitors and those who like to be in the heart of the action. Inside, it’s modern and fuss-free with a minimalist living area for putting your feet up at the end of a busy day and three large bedrooms with plenty of space for unpacking. If you’re keen to flex your culinary muscles, there’s a fully-equipped kitchen with everything you need for putting together Italian classics. But on evenings when you’d prefer to hang up your chef’s apron, you’re footsteps from a number of traditional ristorantes and osterias. If sightseeing is on the agenda, the Piazza della Signoria and Strozzi Palace are no more than a five-minute walk away – not to mention the Uffizi Gallery, the home of Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, is located only seven minutes from your door. Home truths: *At full capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living space *While there's a lift most of the way, you will still have to climb a short flight of steps *This is one of the main pedestrian thoroughfares in the middle of Florence, so you can expect a lot of people on the street outside *We found the wi-fi to be a little weak in the main bedroom
