Vacation Rental Description
The flat is only five minutes walk from the duomo and many of the Florence tourist sites, plus only 10 minutes from the central station for trips to Siena, Arezzo, Pisa and the Sea. Located in an ancient building along a very Florentine street, with antique shops, music stores and for some reason many chemists, the flat has one real drawback, it is a 4 floor walk up, so not ideal if you have a heart condition, but once you've reached it, you're in your own kingdom. The light streams in through windows and skylights, the small (2mt x 2mt) terrace offers you a wonderful view of the duomo and the roofs of Florence. Inside the flat has a bedroom/living room with a small fireplace and French size double bed. Next to it is the kitchen/dining area, with two hot plates, a medium sized fridge and all necessary kitchen items stored in an antique bookcase. Off to one side is the spare bedroom, an alcove that has to be reached on all-fours but then opens out and has it's own window.
The bathroom also has a little window, and is provided with a shower, basin and toilet. The stairs that lead down to the flat's main entrance provide room for storing luggage and overcoats.
The neighbourhood is full of restaurants, and bars, plus the main market for vegetables and meat is just round the corner. At lunchtime don't miss out on Da Mario, just by the market square, a traditional canteen where everyone eats with everyone else and the food is always delicious and relatively cheap.
The main sites near by are the Gozzoli chapel in Via Cavour, essentially in the same block, the S. Marco's Convent with Fra Angelico's Annunciation, Michelangelo's David, the Medici Chapel's just behind the Church of S. Lorenzo at the bottom of the street.
The flat has its own independent heating and A.C and we provide all bedlinen and towels.
