About This Property

If you want to understand Florence beyond the museums — to feel the city as a place where people actually live — then Sant’Ambrogio is where you need to be.

This is the neighbourhood where Florentines do their morning shopping at the Mercato di Sant’Ambrogio, where local ceramicists and leatherworkers still have their workshops, and where the trattorias serve the kind of unpretentious, magnificent food that makes Italy so impossible to leave.

Charming Fiesolana sits right in this world. The apartment takes its name from Via Fiesolana — a historic street lined with Renaissance palazzi and independent shops — and it has the warmth and character of the neighbourhood itself.

Santa Croce, one of Florence’s greatest churches (with Michelangelo’s tomb), is a short walk away. The Arno is close. And you’re far enough from the tourist crowds to actually breathe.
