Description Venerable Age: Firenze

A smart apartment in one of this beautiful city's typical period buildings, this place is perfectly located for exploring Florence. Overlooking Palazzo Vecchio and Piazza della Signoria, its super central setting is perfect for things like high-end shopping, restaurants and bars, while historic sites are just a matter of minutes away. It's all easily walkable from your door.

Step inside and your home is spacious and comfortable, with high ceilings, woodblock flooring and plenty of room for a group of six. The elegant living room is partly lined with bookshelves and there's a separate kitchen with a dining table for meals at home. Three pretty bedrooms are down the hall, each feeling private, and they share two modern shower rooms.

Right on the Via Vacchereccia, this is a home for those who want to be right in the heart of things and its busy surroundings won't suit everyone, but if you're looking for a big apartment just steps from the central Piazza della Signoria square, this character home is the one for you.
