Piazza Santa Croce and its celebrated basilica are just a short walk away. In the opposite direction, the Bargello Museum, Piazza della Signoria and Palazzo Vecchio can all be reached within minutes. The Uffizi Gallery is approximately 500 metres from the apartment, while Florence Cathedral, Giotto’s Bell Tower and the Baptistery are around 600 metres away. Ponte Vecchio and the banks of the Arno are also within comfortable walking distance. The neighbourhood combines Florence’s monumental heritage with an authentic and lively local atmosphere. Its historic streets are filled with traditional restaurants, wine bars, cafés, artisan shops and small boutiques, while the Sant’Ambrogio area and its local market can also be reached on foot. Thanks to this central location, guests can experience the city at their own pace, return home easily during the day and enjoy Florence in the quieter morning and evening hours, when many day visitors have left the historic centre.
