The Duomo, the Uffizi galleries, the architecture, the open air markets, the boutiques, the leather goods and the mouthwatering trattorie that fill the streets of Florence are all part of what makes this a world-class city.

Fiorentino, on a narrow street teeming with shops and restaurants, is 100 yards from the Ponte Vecchio bridge at one end and the same distance to the Pitti Palace galleries at the other end. There is no point having a car here. Staying in the heart of Florence, everything you need to see and do is within walking distance. Fiorentino is in a restricted traffic zone, and the closest a rental car can get to the building is a solid 500 yards away. A taxi, on the other hand, can drop guests right at the entrance.

Soothing pastel walls, shiny wood floors and comfy furnishings greet the guests staying in this fully air conditioned, bright and sunny apartment on the first floor. Large double paned windows with electronic shutters overlook the action below and the buzz of Florence. With two bedrooms having their own en suite bathroom with a heated towel rack, Fiorentino is an ideal base for two couples or a family of four. The compact kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher that probably doesn't get much use due to the endless dining choices nearby. For those bringing a laptop, a wireless connection in the living room is included in the price. Maid service may be requested when booking.

The Ponte Vecchio, the Boboli gardens or the Pitti Palace are a mere 100 yards away; the Uffizi galleries or the beginning of Via Tornabuoni, home to the high fashion boutiques: 400; Piazza Signoria: 600; Piazza Duomo or Piazza Santa Croce are within half a mile. The Santa Maria Novella train station is under a mile away and is quickly reached by taxi or a bus that stops within 100 yards. Taxis to the airport take all of 25 minutes.
