Property 10539 Apartment – Florence

2 Bedrooms – 2 Sofa beds

Duomo Apartments is in an incredible location overlooking Piazza del Duomo, which is one of the most visited places in Europe. Piazza del Duomo is home to the magnificent Cathedral with Brunelleschi's Dome, Giotto's Bell Tower and the Baptistry, which are all part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site covering the historical centre of Florence. The gorgeous 19^th century building housing the three apartments is in a limited traffic zone which is great for easy arrival and departure without the noise of a busy city centre and the surrounding area is known as the “Golden Triangle” with the finest museums, shopping, restaurants, art and fashion.

Florence is the capital city of Tuscany and an art-lovers paradise. It was the centre of the Italian Renaissance movement and the museums, galleries, palaces and churches hold some of the world's greatest artistic treasures.

The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Piazza del Duomo is the largest building in Medieval Europe and Brunelleschi's Dome is not only a masterpiece of engineering but also the largest brick dome in the world. The octagonal St. John's Baptistery is one of the oldest buildings in Florence and is a marvellous example of the rich Florentine Romanesque style. The Bell Tower next to the cathedral was designed by Giotto and the climb up its 414 steps is well worth the effort for the astounding view from the top over Florence and the surrounding hills.

The Uffizi, Bargello, Pitti Palace, Boboli Gardens and the Accademia have to been seen and once you tire of art and history, take a wander through the unforgettable streets and across the Ponte Vecchio bridge which spans the River Arno. Florence is also home to designer shopping and fine wine and dining experiences. Thick, juicy Florentine steaks are a local speciality and best accompanied by a delicious, local Chianti wine.

Any visit to Tuscany should include Pisa, Lucca, San Gimignano and Siena, which are all an easy drive away.

The Florence's Amerigo Vespucci international airport is only 5 km from the city centre. Siena, Pisa, Lucca and San Gimignano are about an hour's drive away.
