This is a truly beautiful apartment with a view you will look at again, and again, and again. It’s a 25 minute walk from the main sights but only 10 mins from the Porto Romana. We wanted to stay outside the hustle and bustle and the neighbourhood is quiet and peaceful. It’s a slight incline uphill but the street itself is much steeper. The view though is well worth the effort. We were met by Elena who is lovely and very proud of what was her very first home. Firenze was hectic so it was nice to come back to this sanctuary and the wonderful view.
A quick tip, if you intend to walk to Piazzala Michelangelo during your stay, follow your sat nav directly from the apartment - you walk through some beautiful neighbourhood and drop down to it rather than make the steep climb from the city. If you have a fear of heights, the spiral staircase may be a challenge! We would definitely come back!
