When you think of slow travel and relaxing living it is impossible for Italy not to come to mind. From the habit of always stopping for a coffee or the birth of the Slow Food movement the country, as a whole, embraces the spirit of a slow, relaxing style of life and travel.
Staying away from the largest cities allows even more focus on a relaxing style of vacation, and cities like Florence embody the idea. Embracing the Italian style of life in a vacation apartment in Florence will soothe your wearied spirit make you feel renewed. The Tuscans exemplify the “eat, drink and be merry” type of life, with a focus on relaxing and enjoying your food, your family and your friends. So why not rent an apartment in Florence and spend your vacation doing the same?
When you decide to come to a place as beautiful as Tuscany and stay in a Florence hotel apartment, booking should be a mere trifle. There are many apartments available, in all types of locations and in all budget ranges. No matter what your needs are, you can find an apartment to fill them, and spend your vacation exploring the city and surrounding countryside in true Italian style: s-l-o-w-l-y.
When you book an apartment in Florence instead of a hotel room you get an experience that is much more like the true lifestyle of the city. Being in the center of the city and being able to walk from point to point of historical interest and having the only distress being making a decision about which great trattoria to choose will soon have you relaxed and refreshed. You will soon be lingering over 2-3 hour dinners after spending the day gazing upon some of the greatest works of the Renaissance.
Exploring beautiful Tuscany using a holiday apartment in Florence as a base is one of the best ways to experience the region. Virtually everything you want to see is within an hour or so by train from the city. And the train station itself is less then 10 minutes walking from the heart of the city. So you can spend the day in Siena and be back in the center in time for an aperitivo and then dinner, spend the next day at the Uffizi and go back to your apartment and wake up and spend the following day on the sands of the Mediterranean. All are extremely convenient and help you enjoy your vacation that much more.
Take a little extra time when your find a Florence apartment for booking to make sure that the location and amenities are what you are looking for. The city center is the favorite location because you are able to walk to literally just about everything, the train station for exploring, museums, piazza, restaurants and the river.
