Situated in a quiet enclave of Le Cure, Ghirlandaio radiates Italian opulence and offers exceptionally comfortable accommodation for up to four guests. Sitting on Florence's northern edge, this elegant apartment places guests within easy reach of the city’s top attractions and the scenic landscape beyond neighbouring Fiesole.

Charming Le Cure treats guests to an authentic slice of Florentine life, where the little winding streets are lined with antique stores, galleries, and cafés. There are cultural treats just a short stroll from the apartment. The magical Piazza della Liberta impresses with its cascading fountain and regal Arch of the Lorraine while the nearby Museum of San Marco reveals awe-inspiring renaissance artwork by Fra Angelico. Enjoy suppers of succulent Florentine steak and pappardelle smothered in rich wild boar sauce, ending your meal like a local with an almond-filled cantucci biscotti, dipped in sweet vin santo wine.

A sense of grandeur envelopes you the moment you step inside Ghirlandaio. High ceilings in the light and airy living space draw the eye to a lavish bronze fresco, while a splendid tapestry of a bucolic Tuscan scene adds to the ambience. As your guests curl up on the plush sofas, a glass of Chianti in hand, you can simmer a pot of pasta to al-dente perfection in the delightful forest green kitchen. There’s a handsome wooden dining table in the living space where you can share your feast, before ducking out to the local gelateria for dessert.

There are two beautifully presented bedrooms, each with a king-size bed (one is a four-poster and the other features a heritage fabric headboard). Each bedroom benefits from French doors that open onto a pretty balcony and a boutique ensuite, with marble accents, a walk-in rainfall shower, and a deep tub for blissful soaks.

Live la dolce vita, spending balmy evenings with a sundowner on the apartment’s enchanting furnished terrace. Ghirlandaio makes a refined base for your Florentine retreats, with the rolling Tuscan countryside and prestigious wineries just a short drive to the north.
