The entrance to the building has three steps to the main door, and there are a further 8 steps in the entrance hall to reach the lift.

Guest access You will be taking all of the flat. The flat will suit between 2 to 4 people, with a crib available as well.

Being so central within Florence's 'no traffic zone', it is well placed for Florence's wide range of restaurants and bars, and the full range of Italian and international shops nearby across the centre of the city. Conveniently, there is a Conad City supermarket 4 minutes walk away.
