In Fine Spirito

After a day soaking up Florence’s Renaissance charm, this contemporary, light-filled bolthole is a breath of fresh air to return to. Best suited to a short break, the kitchen is compact and, at full occupancy, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living area. But if you can look past that, you’re onto a winner. Set on a quiet residential street in the vibrant Santo Spirito quarter, you get the best of both worlds here. The city’s must-sees, including the Duomo, are within easy walking distance. And when thoughts turn to food, the trattorias of Santo Spirito’s nearby piazza are a fine place to start.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living area.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*The apartment is located on the second floor without a lift. There are steep steps to climb, which may be unsuitable for guests with restricted mobility.
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob and microwave. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
