Gismonda

Welcome to Gismonda, a luxurious 3-bedroom apartment located in the heart of the historical centre of one of Italy’s most beautiful cities, Florence. Boasting views of the iconic Duomo, this property provides an unparalleled city living experience. With spacious interiors and close access to all Florence has to offer, this is bound to be a trip you never forget.

Florence is known as a city filled with medieval art and culture. The entire historic centre of the city has been named a UNESCO world heritage site. Meandering through the narrow streets, you cannot help but marvel at architectural masterpieces such as Ponte Vecchio, the Basilica of Santa Maria and Pitti Palace. The vibrant city is filled with interesting features like the fountain of Neptune, medieval stone arched bridges and remarkable buildings. The cradle of the Renaissance, the city is overflowing with the incredible art of the past. The Academia Gallery is home to the famous Michelangelo’s 17-foot statue of David and is a must for your trip. The Uffizi Gallery is another exceptional museum worth visiting, filled with the paintings and statues of some of the world’s most iconic artists. One of the best things to do in Italy is by far indulging in all the incredible food on offer. Wandering through the city you are bound to find a quiet café in one of the piazzas to sit down in, sipping on a cappuccino, watching the stylish locals walking past. You are sure to be enticed by a refreshing ice cream from one of the many gelaterias to cool off from the summer heat.

Being set in the heart of Tuscany makes day trips from Florence into the unspoiled beauty of the surrounding countryside as easy as hopping on a train. Famous for the terrific wine produced in the region, allow our concierge service to book a private tour to some of the lesser-known boutique vineyards to learn about the production and sample some of the finest vino on offer. Driving through the rolling fields of Val d’Orcia, passing through some of the picturesque medieval towns such as Montepulciano, admiring the quaint villages, churches and castles dotted along the hillside. Be sure to check out our Italy packing list to ensure you are prepared for any adventure.
