Residenza degli Sporti offers exquisite accommodation for up to five guests in the heart of Florence. This delightfully refined apartment boasts a quintessentially Florentine outlook, with views across the Piazza di Santa Croce, the city’s main square. As soon as you step outside, Florence's rich history and artistic heritage unfolds, with the Basilica di Santa Croce di Firenze a stone's throw away.

You’re just a short walk from the iconic Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and Michelangelo’s David at the Galleria dell’ Accademia di Firenze. Once your cultural batteries are full, head to the ancient thoroughfares of Via dei Calzaiuoli and Via Roma, where you can indulge in a spot of designer shopping at Italy’s leading fashion houses, like Armani, Fendi, and Prada. Culinary adventures will define your time in Florence as you sample delicious specialities like Ribollita and Bistecca alla Fiorentina.

Residenza degli Sporti boasts a wonderfully traditional Florentine ambience. Graceful columns in the living room draw the eye up to an ornate fresco on the ceiling, where cherubs flutter across the central panel. Guests can relax on the comfortable sofas and fireside seating with a glass of local Chianti while you whip up a simple pasta supper in the delightfully bright and cheerful duck egg blue kitchen. Dine together around the glass table in the living room, then why not wander by the River Arno, stopping for a refreshing gelato?

The apartment's three bedrooms overflow with character. Two of these feel snug and cosy with an exposed timber ceiling—one offering a double bed and the other a single bed. The third bedroom has twin beds and impresses with a heritage colour scheme and decorative ceiling. The apartment has two full bathrooms, one with a waterfall shower and one with a traditional tub and overhead shower.

Surrounded by Medieval and Renaissance architecture and an abundance of classic trattorias and contemporary restaurants, guests will enjoy the best this enchanting city has to offer. The rural delights of Tuscany are just a short drive away, making Residenza degli Sporti the perfect Florentine base.
