Choosing an Apartment Rental in Florence
Florence is a beautiful city full of exquisite art and culture. Some are drawn to
Florence because of the sunset views, others for the spectacular food and wine.
Sightseeing is relatively easy thanks to most every attraction being located in
the historic center of the city. While the location of most attractions is convenient,
it may be a good idea to establish beforehand what you want to see; it is easy to
become overwhelmed with all the choices.
When in Florence, Make Time for Museums
Interested in museums perhaps? If so, it might be a wonderful idea to reserve an
apartment rental
in Florence that is situated closest to one or many. You can use our service
to locate a rental in Florence that is near the Galleria dell'Accademia, for example,
where Michelangelo's David is housed. Florence is home to three of the world's most
renowned museums: the Uffizi, L'Accademia, and the Bargello:
Uffizi - is one of the most famous museums of paintings and sculptures in
the world. Its collection includes universally acclaimed masterpieces such as works
by Giotto, Simone Martini, Piero della Francesca, Fra Angelico, Filippo Lippi, Botticelli,
Mantegna, Correggio, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo and Caravaggio. The
Gallery was created by Grand-duke Francesco I and was enriched thanks to the Medici
family. The Medici family was great collectors of paintings, sculpture and works
of art.
L'Accadamia - housed here are some of the world's greatest masterpieces such
as David by Michelangelo, Four Prisoners by Michelangelo, and the 15th and 16th
century Florentine artist collection. Michelangelo's David was first exhibited here
in 1873. In addition to those exhibits already mentioned, you can also find Giovanni
da Milano's Pieta (fourteenth century), Adimari Casson, and the Annunciation by
Lorenzo Monaco.
Bargello - this National Museum is located in one of the oldest buildings
in Florence. It was originally built to be the headquarters of the Capitano del
Popolo, but later became inhabited by Bargello (head of police spies). The Bargello
was used as a prison for most of the 18th century. The building also has significant
importance because it served as the meeting place of the Council of the Hundred.
Dante took part in that meeting. Use as a National Museum did not begin until sometime
in the mid-nineteenth century. The Bargello houses masterpieces of the Tuscan Renaissance
and some of the finest works of Donatello. Those works include the marble Youthful
David, the St. George from its niche in Orsanmichele and David in bronze.
Explore the Many Wonders of Florence
Ancient churches such as Badia Fiorentina are also found in Florentine. You can
choose an apartment
rental in Florence near the Badia Fiorentina. This church was rebuilt in
1285 and has a bell tower that is unique due to its hexagonal shape which is built
on a quadrangular base. The best-known work of art located in this church is the
Vision of St. Bernard by Filippino Lippi (circa 1457 - 1504).
If wine is all you thirst for, look for a
rental in Florence near the southern hills so you have easier access to
the Chianti Classico Region. The Chianti Classico Region is home to wine producing
estates featuring Gallo Nero wines. There are also many beautiful vineyards you
can walk through and old vineyard cellars you can visit.
Some of us are getting motivated for the day ahead at the same hour others are headed
to bed. Florence is known for its after-hours musical offerings and Florentines
are proud of what their nightlife has to offer. If dancing happens to be on your
list, maybe check out an apartment rental in Florence that is close to BeBop, a
popular dance club, or Loonees which is another club that is located in a cavernous
underground space.

Benefits of Short Term Apartment Rental in Florence
Florence apartment rentals are usually quoted at a weekly rate and the prices can
range based on features, date, number of people, and exact location. In most instances,
there is also a charge for utilities, so you will want to find out what is or is
not included in your particular short term apartment rental. The short term apartment
rental service we offer should not be confused with timeshares. Rentvillas.com is
not a timeshare program. If you choose to book an apartment rental in Florence,
