Situated in an 18th century building next door to the church of St. Lucia, Casa della Santa sits a mere 200 yards from the Arno River in the northern part of Florence's historic district.

Being located just off of Borgo Ognissanti, there is a 50 yard stretch of restaurants, cafés, shops and a great chocolatier around the corner - the apartment is smack in the center of a typical Florentine neighborhood where life still revolves around the local grocer and the produce vendor.

Completely remodeled, Casa della Santa offers air conditioning, a new kitchen and bathroom and plenty of old-world charm in the form of high ceilings, large windows, wood beams and a recently uncovered fresco. The new furnishings are contemporary in style and blend in nicely with the décor.

While the living space is snug for two couples, this apartment is ideal for one couple or a family seeking comfy accommodations in a great location at a very reasonable price. Heating and air conditioning are conveniently included in the price.

Those coming by car will find a garage within 50 yards. Start the day by crossing the street to the corner café for a cappuccino and your choice of delectable pastry. This same café also serves up tasty panini at lunch time. The main sights in this city made for walking are all within walking distance:

• Piazza Santa Maria Novella is 300 yards away with a 13th century Basilica and one of the oldest pharmacies in the world selling herbal remedies:
• the beginning of Via Tornabuoni, home to the high fashion boutiques: 400 yards;
• Ponte Vecchio with its gleaming gold shops and the 15th century Renaissance Pitti Palace with an art gallery, museums and entrance to the exquisite Boboli Italianate Gardens: 650 yards;
• The Duomo and the Uffizi galleries are within three quarters of a mile.

When rented to two, guests may choose the bedroom they wish to use and the remaining bedroom is closed.
