Alfani City Retreat – Bright One‑Bedroom Apartment in the Historic Center
Ideally located in the historic centre of Florence, this charming one‑bedroom apartment offers unbeatable convenience for Europass students. Two Europass school locations are just a 5‑minute walk away, and the third can be reached in approximately 10 minutes.
Its extraordinary position also allows you to enjoy Florence’s most famous monuments with ease: the Duomo is just a 2‑minute walk away, and landmarks such as the Uffizi Gallery, Galleria dell’Accademia, Ponte Vecchio, and Piazza della Signoria are all within short walking distance.
If you’re travelling in a larger group, you have the option to book the adjacent apartment as well — another independent one‑bedroom unit with its own private entrance and full amenities.
Located on the first floor of a historic Florentine building (accessible via 13 steps), the apartment is quiet, filled with natural light, and designed to provide a comfortable and relaxing stay in the very heart of the city.
