This sprawling apartment was once a Florentine palace and monastery dating back to 1880. Stylish and practical in equal measure, we love the large living area, which boasts charming traditional details, sky-high ceilings, and gorgeous artwork. It's not just all character here, though – the sleek kitchen has everything you need for meal prep, while the main bathroom boasts a soaker tub ideal for unwinding. But it's the location that really stands out. You're a short stroll away from all Florence has to offer. We're talking 300 metres from San Marco Square, 500 metres from the Accademia Gallery, and 800 metres from the famous Duomo. Home truths: *The air conditioning may only be available in the bedrooms. *This home is in a central spot, and you may hear some noise from the road. The interiors also echo a tad due to the high ceilings. *You won't need a car in Florence. All the main landmarks are within walking distance, and a train station is nearby for adventures further afield. *Although there isn't a desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
