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. For those bringing a laptop, a USB Internet connection is included in the price.
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 reasonable price.
Those coming by car will find a garage within 50 yards. The main sights in this city made for walking are all within walking distance: Piazza Santa Maria Novella is 300 yards away: the beginning of Via Tornabuoni, home to the high fashion boutiques: 400; the Ponte Vecchio and the Pitti Palace gallery and museums: 650; and the Duomo and the Uffizi galleries are within three quarters of a mile. The Santa Maria Novella train station is half a mile away, and a local bus serving most of the city's prime locations stops right outside your door.
When rented to two, guests may choose the bedroom they wish to use and the remaining bedroom is closed.
