Description Terracotta & Craft: Firenze

Steps from Piazza Santa Maria Novella, this apartment sits deep in Florence's historic centre with the city's major sights on your doorstep. It's the perfect location for sightseeing – all the major landmarks are within walking distance, from the Ponte Vecchio to the Duomo. Inside, expect original terracotta floors and a floral mural in the dining room. The building has its own story – once home to a Florentine craftsman – and that sense of lived history lingers in every room. It's a practical, comfortable option in a great location.

Home truths:
* At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
* There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home. It's on the first floor.
* This home is on a lively central street, and noise from the street and building at night is likely – particularly at weekends. If you're a light sleeper, consider bringing earplugs.
* As this home is set in the limited traffic zone (ZTL), we suggest exploring on foot rather than driving.
