LA CASA DI BETTA, Florence

The apartment is literally around the corner from the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore (Duomo) and the Baptistery. Piazza della Signoria is 4 minutes away, the Uffizi Gallery 6 minutes, and Ponte Vecchio a 7-minute stroll. The Accademia Gallery is under 1 km away, making the David accessible without transport. For day trips or arrival, Santa Maria Novella train station is within easy walking distance. The T2 tram line connects directly from Florence Airport (11 km) to the historic centre, stopping a few minutes from the door. The neighbourhood is off the busiest pedestrian routes yet surrounded by restaurants, trattorias, cafés, and shops - a practical base for exploring entirely on foot.

The apartment comprises 1 living room, 1 separate bedroom, 1 bathroom with a walk-in shower and bidet, and a well-equipped kitchen (stovetop, oven, refrigerator, kitchenware).
