Senso della Forma

Located in Florence’s San Frediano district – named one of the world’s coolest neighbourhoods by Lonely Planet – this carefully curated apartment not only puts you in an ideal spot to explore the city’s most iconic sights but also offers a comfortable, relaxing base from which to do so.

Inside, a modern red and white colour scheme strikes a stylish chord in the open-plan living area, where beamed ceilings and contemporary decor blend old and new in striking fashion. Make yourself comfortable on the sofa with a glass of wine, or gather around the chic dining table for an intimate dinner at home when you’re not out sampling the local trattorias.

The bedroom is a serene space with its inviting bed, exposed brick alcove and charming skylight, while the two bathrooms – each boasting a luxurious rainfall shower – are sure to get days off on a happy, pampered foot.

Outside of your home, San Frediano’s narrow streets packed with bars, artisan shops and eclectic restaurants wait to be explored, while both the Pitti Palace and Ponte Vecchio are within a ten-minute walk from your door. You’re also a fifteen-minute walk – across the river – from the Uffizi Gallery and a seventeen-minute stroll from both the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and the Piazza della Signoria.
