Appartamento Bianca

Appartamento Bianca is set in the center of Florence, eight minutes from Ponte Vecchio, twenty minutes from Florence airport and 1 hour from Pisa airport. It is within walking distance of all the historical monuments and main shopping streets: this property lies at the corner of famous Via de’ Neri, then leading to Piazza Santa Croce.

For those seeking an accommodation in Florence this is the ideal area for businessmen or travellers who wish to stay right in the heart of the city. The Santa Croce area circles the square, dominated by the Basilica which it takes its name from. This area was once a real island, situated between the two branches of the Arno that separated close to the actual Piazza Beccarla, and rejoined in front of the walls of Via de’ Benci, where the apartment is.

Piazza Santa Croce saw the day towards 1300 to accommodate the crowds of faithful people who were listening to the preaching of the Franciscans who had done a lot of good actions and had also built a church. Other important buildings of the square are the palazzo Cocchi-Serristori and the Antella Palace, as well as the Dante Alighieri monument. The Corsini-Serristori Palace, the Spinelli Palace and Giorgio Vasari’s house can also be found in the area. Well served by numerous means of public transport, one can find a number of bus stops here that lead to almost every area of the city.
