Lying on the Via Santo Spirito, in central Florence, this elegant and comfortable holiday apartment sleeps 2+3, with one bedroom and two bathrooms.

This very nice Florence vacation lies on an old street in the historic heart of Florence. The medieval buildings here once belonged to powerful Florentine families of the Middle Ages and beyond – the Frescobaldi, Medici, Lanfredini, Manetti and Caponi families.

Via Santo Spirito is located on the ‘other’ side of the River Arno, away from the main tourist traps around the cathedral, and near to the Piazza Santo Spirito, one of Florence’s most beautiful squares. The other side perhaps, but then nothing is very far away in Florence – there’s plenty to see but this is a city easily manageable on foot, everything is within an easy walk.

So what should you stroll to see? Well the Pitti Palace, the Boboli Gardens, and Masaccio’s frescoes in the Carmine are within easy reach. Then you should cross the Ponte Vecchio, explore the galleries at the Uffizi and take a look at the Piazza della Signoria (we estimate that all are within eight minutes walk). The immediate neighbourhood of Santo Spirito, meanwhile, is very lively. Here you’ll find plenty of coffee bars (and excellent coffee of course), restaurants for every taste and budget, banks, grocers and other shops. There are even several language schools close by.

And you’re very close to the famous Ponte San Trinita, leading to Via Tornabuoni and close to the Via Maggio, with its many antique shops.
