Neighborhood
Our apartment's prime location near the Santa Maria Novella Train Station offers you convenient access to Florence's iconic landmarks, museums, and vibrant streets. The Duomo, Uffizi Gallery, Ponte Vecchio, and the historic center are all within a leisurely walk.

Transit
Florence city centre is a ZTL zone which stands for “limited traffic zone” and therefore special rules apply to when you can enter this area. This particular apartment is in fact located within the ZTL zone so this means that if you are thinking of coming to Florence by car and wish to drive around and park, then you will need to pay special attention to the road signs, CCTV cameras and access cameras (they will show either a red /green light) in order to avoid receiving fines. Guests who need to travel within the ZTL zone by car to reach their apartment are advised to contact one of the private garages in the centre (the one nearest the apartment you are staying in) and obtain a temporary access permit. Upon arrival at the garage, guests must specify their need for access in the ZTL and the garage will then note the vehicle’s number plate and forward it to the appropriate police headquarters

Getting around
Despite being in the city center, the apartment is located on the border of the ZTL and therefore easily accessible by car. Walking time to : Train station 7 minutes, Duomo 12 minutes, Uffizi 15 minutes, Pontevecchio 14 minutes
