1 Double Bedroom - Double Sofa Bed

Location and Surrounding Area. Situated in the historic center of Florence and enjoying a privileged position with exceptional shopping and dining on Via del Corso just around the corner, this exclusive twelve-apartment tower is ideally located to offer complete privacy to its guests and to explore the city’s most spectacular wonders. Famous for being a treasure chest of priceless heritage, Florence houses some of the greatest artistic treasures in the world. Everyone wants to see the Duomo and gaze at the statue of David before heading to the Uffizi Gallery and the famous Ponte Vecchio and, sure, they are attractions certainly worth visiting, but there is so much more to Florence: from under-the-radar museums to shopping destinations that double as historical sites, markets and one of the oldest gelato shops in town, this Italian city will entice all sorts of visitors. The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, better known as the Duomo, is the centerpiece of the city: as long as you don’t mind 463 steps plus some tight spaces, clambering up to the lantern at the very top of the structure will take you to the highest point in central Florence. If you are not yet out of breath, head to the adjacent Giotto’s Bell Tower for another spectacular view of the city and the Duomo itself.

With over 1,5 million of visitors every year, the Uffizi Gallery is the most visited museum in Italy and an absolute treasure trove of Renaissance art, while the Galleria dell’Accademia is the home of Michelangelo’s most famous work of art, the David. The wall of the Uffizi forms one end of Piazza della Signoria, a broad square filled with tourists and locals: at its center is the Neptune fountain, at one side the Palazzo Vecchio, still housing the city’s government. The churches of Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce are veritable art galleries, while the library of San Lorenzo is a magnificent exhibition of Michelangelo’s architectural genius. Wander some of the most ancient streets in the city until you reach the Arno river, cross the Ponte Vecchio, home for the shops of Florence’s talented goldsmiths, and experience the newest area of Florence, the Oltrarno. Where else can you stroll the same streets walked by Michelangelo, Leonardo and Botticelli, while savouring the world’s best gelato?
