Best Florence holiday apartments

Live like a Florentine Local in with 9flats.com

Florence is a treasure chest of art and architecture that is filled to the brim with gorgeous facades, rich history and fascinating lanes. It is a city best experienced as the locals do, wandering the cobble stone streets, sipping espresso at cafés and exploring its history first hand. 9flats.com offers a large selection of vacation apartments in Florence located right at the heart of the city. In your own vacation rental you can experience the local culture first hand with all the action of the city right at your doorstop.

Florentines are rightly proud of what their city has to offer. Once the wealthiest city on the planet, it is now protected by its UNESCO World Heritage Site. Millions of tourists come here every year to the Renaissance city, but with your own vacation rental, you can have a more authentic experience of Florentine life. Visit the Galleria degli Uffizi, which contains the world’s finest collection of Renais-sance art, most of them considerable masterpieces. Of course no matter what your taste, Florence’s Duomo is one of the most fantastic sites in all of Italy. The incredibly intricate Gothic cathedral took close to 150 years to complete and is the crown jewel of Florence. For those who are easily over-whelmed by crowds, choose a vacation rental close to the expertly landscaped Giardino di Boboli, which offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle.

Vacation Rentals for All Tastes

For those food enthusiasts, Florence offers some of the finest cuisine in the world. Choose your restaurant carefully – those in the very busy tourist areas will be much more expensive than those hidden away down the back streets where the locals choose to eat. It is also a good idea to check the price before sitting down as many places have different rates depending on whether you are seated or standing at the bar. Indulge in fine Florentine cuisine like Pasta e Fagioli and gelato, best bought from one of the roadside stands after dinner and enjoyed while watching the fascinating street life around you.
