When our taxi dropped us off at the flat, we thought we’d given him the wrong address. The flat is located on the most elegant shopping street in Florence, literally above a famous boutique store. The major sites are all truly within easy walking distance, with many quaint cafes and exceptional restaurants along the way to lure you in.
Every morning we’d throw open our large windows to the sounds of this marvellous city. Just a stone’s throw away, one can catch a glimpse of a lovely piazza where impromptu music is played, from soothing cello suites to the proud lyrics of Nessun Dorma. It’s not a particularly quiet place — it’s one full of life! Highly recommend it if you want to immerse yourself in the history, culture and modern-day vibrancy of Florence.
