Forte 16

Florentine chic in your own city apartment.

By Rhona Pearce, VeryChic correspondent
A frosty Florence glitters beneath a perpetual Tuscan sun and I find the cold doesn't bother me so much here. That damp that gets into your bones in England is replaced by a crisp, clear glitter that only serves to lend even greater brilliance to the grand domes and delicate spires of this dreamy city. It is always achingly beautiful, so much so that it never fails to take my breath away. The adventure of discovering something new and magical is never ending and I could explore this tiny city for years without ever tiring of it. Amongst my new discoveries this trip is a somewhat more modern gem and it comes in the form of my sleek city apartment at the stylish Forte 16.
