EXCLUSIVE LOFT DEGLI ARTISTI, Florence

The apartment sits in a safe, calm neighbourhood of family homes, ideal for those who prefer a peaceful base after touring. Florence Airport is 10km away. Bus route 11 stops just around the corner, offering direct access to Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi Gallery area in about 15-20 minutes.

A large grocery store is a 20-minute walk, and several bakeries, pastry shops, delis, and restaurants are within 5-10 minutes on foot.

The separate bedroom is upstairs in the mezzanine, keeping the sleeping area quiet and distinct from the living zone.
