I teach Italian history and literature. I really love my city and I love the houses of the historic center. I have a great deal of experience in real estate in this part of town, and in 2014 I began looking for the “ideal” home in order to work with tourists. I saw scores of homes before finding the one I am offering you. In Florence there are innumerable homes for tourists, but I wasn’t looking for just any home. I wanted to find a place where I would have gladly lived. It is anything but easy to find homes that are well-designed, quiet and bright within the confines of that tiny central area where I feel a tourist ought to live even for a short time. The real center of Florence. Only from here can you wander on foot at any hour of the day or night, in safety and with home close by. Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio, the Bargello, Piazza del Duomo, Santa Croce and the Uffizi, and teeming with little streets full of life and interesting places to discover -- all of this within a few hundred meters -- or just looking up on via del Corno.
