Description

Property 1581179262 - FLORENCE

4 Bedrooms

Location and Surrounding Area
Located in the centre of Florence and steps away from the most exclusive dining, shopping, and entertainment options, this elegant four-bedroom apartment is the perfect place for a stylish break in one of the most romantic cities in the world. From the 13th to the 15th centuries, Florence was the undisputed capital of culture and art in Europe. A few days are enough to discover its wealth of architectural and artistic treasures, as well as to enjoy all the other delights of this charming and lively Tuscan city.

Florence’s reputation as an art city is unparalleled. The Duomo is the heart of Florence and is very easy to locate. Just look for the high terracotta dome that dominates the city’s roof. The area around the Duomo is pedestrianised and usually crammed with visitors. The easiest way to get around this area, with its flat streets and wide pavements, is on foot. There are a few cafés and ice-cream parlours in and around the square, handy for resting from sightseeing.

The Uffizi art gallery is just off Piazza della Signoria, where a replica of Michelangelo’s David stands tall over spectacular fountains beside the stately Palazzo Vecchio. The long loggia of the gallery connects the piazza to the River Arno. It is a short walk from the mediaeval Ponte Vecchio, the oldest bridge in Florence, lined with jewellery shops. The surrounding streets and squares, though thronged with people, offer plenty of options for exceptional meals, drinks, and ice cream.

The Uffizi is one of Italy’s greatest art galleries. It covers the whole sweep of Florentine art, from stylised Byzantine icons to the flowing lines of early mediaeval art, through Renaissance masterpieces to the colourful complexities of Mannerist art. Do not attempt to see every painting. Instead, see how many animals you can spot in a painting, or count angel wings. Or stick to highlights by the most famous Italian artists, such as Giotto, Botticelli, Piero della Francesca, Leonardo, and Michelangelo.

The sprawling 16th-century Boboli Gardens, a fine example of Italian Renaissance gardens adjoining the vast hulk of Palazzo Pitti in the Oltrarno district, are the green lungs of the city. Laid out in formal glory, they provide a refreshing break from the city streets. After the gardens, the narrow lanes of Oltrarno offer plenty of great local restaurants and old-fashioned workshops. The area gives an insight into the way the Florentines live, away from the tourist honeypot across the river.
