TAURUS APARTMENT - FLORENCE

1 Bedroom

Location and Surrounding Area
Located on the third floor of an elegant building in the heart of Florence and just steps away from the city's finest dining, shopping, and entertainment options, this modern apartment is the ideal retreat for a stylish stay in one of Italy’s most beautiful cities. Florence, which was the cultural and artistic capital of Europe from the 13th to the 15th centuries, offers a wealth of architectural and artistic treasures, as well as countless other delights in this charming Tuscan city.

Florence’s unparalleled reputation as an art city is evident from the iconic Duomo, easily identifiable by its high terracotta dome that dominates the city skyline. The area surrounding the Duomo is pedestrian-friendly and often crowded with tourists. The best way to explore this area, with its flat streets and wide pavements, is on foot. You’ll find several cafés and ice-cream parlours in and around the square, perfect for a break from sightseeing.

The Uffizi Gallery, located just off Piazza della Signoria, is a must-visit. Here, a replica of Michelangelo’s David overlooks the stunning fountains beside the stately Palazzo Vecchio. The gallery’s long loggia connects the piazza to the river Arno and is a short walk from the mediaeval Ponte Vecchio, Florence’s oldest bridge, lined with jewellery shops. Despite the crowds, the surrounding streets and squares offer numerous options for exceptional meals, drinks, and ice cream.

As one of Italy’s premier art galleries, the Uffizi spans the full range of Florentine art, from Byzantine icons and early mediaeval art to Renaissance masterpieces and Mannerist works. Instead of trying to see every painting, focus on spotting animals in the artwork or concentrate on highlights by renowned Italian artists such as Giotto, Botticelli, Piero della Francesca, Leonardo, and Michelangelo.

The sprawling 16th-century Boboli Gardens, adjacent to the grand Palazzo Pitti in the Oltrarno district, represent a splendid example of Italian Renaissance gardens and serve as the city’s green lung. The formal layout of the gardens provides a refreshing escape from the bustling city streets. After exploring the gardens, the narrow lanes of Oltrarno offer a glimpse into local life, with great local restaurants and traditional workshops, providing a contrast to the more tourist-heavy areas across the river.
