Rena

Property Description

Live like the locals by staying at Apartment Rena, a gorgeous and brand-new luxury apartment located in the heart of the San Frediano district in Florence. This lesser-known area is not as popular among first-time tourists, so it retains its authentic flair with local artisan studios, small stores, and a vibrant selection of wine bars and restaurants. Furnished and decorated with a 1950s vibe, Apartment Rena enjoys some dreamy views over the Arno River and puts you at walking distance (twenty minutes or less) from all the main points of interest in the city, Ponte Vecchio, Piazza Pitti, Piazza della Signoria and Santa Maria Novella train station.
