Seek out the Cenacolo di Andrea del Sarto, a peaceful refectory away from the Florence crowds. Spend a calm morning in front of del Sarto's Last Supper fresco, often with the room nearly to yourself.
Full description
This small museum in a former convent refectory is built around Andrea del Sarto's Last Supper fresco, the work of a painter Vasari praised as faultless. It sits a walk away from the central sights, so it draws few visitors, and reviewers describe a calm room where you can look at paintings without needing to be an expert.
Entry is free, but the opening hours cover only the first half of the day, so timing matters. Forty-five minutes is plenty to take in the fresco and surrounding works.

Reviews
This place is well worth the walk from the centre if you want to appreciate the artistic genius of Andrea del Sarto, whom Giorgio Vasari described as a ‘perfect painter’ (pittore senza errori).
