Vacation apartment rental in Florence, Italy
The Duomo Apartment is named
for its superb location within Florence � it lies just a few steps away
from the Duomo (cathedral), one of the most remarkable buildings of this
beautiful Renaissance city.
Sleeping 2+2, this air-conditioned Florence holiday apartment is at Number 13,
Via dei Calzaiuoli, Florence.
There is an elevator to the front door
of your apartment (which covers some 50m�) and when you descend to the
ground floor once more, you�ll find yourself in the very heart of historic
Florence.
Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence�s cathedral, is one of the triumphs of medieval
Italian architecture. Crowned by the revolutionary dome designed by Brunelleschi
(he ordered that the bricks be laid in a herringbone pattern to afford extra
strength, and thus create the largest dome ever constructed) it is a building
of remarkable beauty. Its tower gives marvellous views over the red-tiled roofs
of Florence to the hills beyond, and it makes up a superb medieval city centre
alongside the Baptistery and the Campanile.
Via dei Calzaiuoli, meanwhile, is
one of the city's oldest streets, leading to the Piazza della Signoria. This
road was originally laid out by the Romans but
is now very much of the 21st century, bustling with sightseers, gelaterie (ice
cream parlours) and chic designer shops. This superb location not only offers
easy access to the Uffizi and other galleries, with their collections of medieval
and Renaissance Italian art, but to the plethora of historic monuments around
the Piazza della Signoria. Nearby you�ll find the Palazzo Pitti, a one-time residence
of the ruling Medici family, and the palace�s beautiful formal garden, Il Giardino
di Boboli.
In fact most of the museums, monuments, schools, restaurants, pizzerias
and restaurants
are within three minutes walk.
