This home’s location is outstanding – you’ll be a short stroll from the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and the Uffizi. Also nearby are the Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio and the Palazzo Strozzi to name just a few places easily reached from this home. After all that exploring, luckily there’s a spacious terrace to relax on at this home or unwind in the comfy living space – there’s air conditioning here too. There’s also a fully equipped kitchen if you prefer home cooking – this place has everything you probably need for your Florence stay.

Elegant Delight

Smart TV

The location of this apartment is impressive. It’s a stone’s throw from the Arno and a short stroll from the Uffizi Gallery, with major attractions like Piazza della Signoria ten minutes away on foot. You’ll have countless restaurants and cafes nearby and you’ll also have a well-equipped kitchen, should you prefer to dine in. The apartment features frescoed ceilings but is otherwise simple in style. It’s a comfortable base that’s perfectly positioned for visiting Florence.

This apartment is a great base for a family or a group of friends visiting Florence. Situated close to all the historical sights, you can walk to landmarks like the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella, while good public transport connections mean that you can easily reach other parts of the city, too. With comfy bedrooms and plenty of space for dining, not to mention the small private balcony, this place has everything to make your stay here an enjoyable one. There's even a desk if you need to catch up on work. And while the kitchen is on the smaller side (though still well-equipped), you'll find an array of delicious eateries a short stroll away.

Just outside the historic city centre, this apartment offers a traditional Italian sanctuary. You can enjoy views across the Duomo and the Basilica of San Lorenzo on the horizon. There’s plenty of space to stretch out and socialise with all the essentials you could need for a laidback stay. Outside, you can wind your through the neighbourhood to the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella as well as the Cathedral. There are plenty of restaurants, cafes and shops within easy walking distance. Plus, if you’re travelling by car you’ll find paid parking available nearby.

Private Entrance

This apartment offers a relaxed and easy stay in the historic heart of Florence. Nestled inside a Palazzo dating back to 1500, you’ll be welcomed by a wonderful sense of character. There’s also private terrace for evening drinks, while the rooms are perfect for families with the handy addition of a sofa bed in the living room. It’s worth noting you can hear street noise from one of the bedrooms, but we think the location more than makes up for it. From here, it’s just a short stroll to iconic sights like the beautiful Basilica of Santa Croce, the Market of Sant'Ambrogio and the Duomo.

Gaze out at the iconic domed cathedral from the comfort of this spectacular city-centre apartment. Set within an eye-catching period building, complete with imposing wooden double doors, along the rather lovely Via dei Servi, which connects the Piazza del Duomo and the Piazza della Santissima Annunziata. 

This narrow street is lined with a wide array of shops, charming cafes, and traditional restaurants, which should be your first port of call when you get the urge to head out and explore the city. For a closer look at the duomo, you need only walk a couple of minutes to the bustling piazza that surrounds it. Wandering a little over 100m in the opposite direction will lead to the fascinating Leonardo da Vinci Museum, which is filled with life-sized machines based on his many sketches. 

For more Renaissance creations, the iconic Uffizi Gallery lies around 700m to the south – well within walking distance. We'd recommend a leisurely riverside stroll along the River Arno afterwards, or if you're feeling active, head out on a stand-up paddleboarding expedition downriver.

Inside, the apartment is all clean lines and contemporary design, the exposed wood of the soaring ceilings and large wood-framed windows are the main clues to the building's extensive history. An open kitchen and living area combines Scandinavian style with Italian flair to create a stylish space with a real soul.

Just four minutes from the Ponte Vecchio on foot, this home's location alone is enough reason for us to praise it to the skies. It sits along a steep, cobbled street in the heart of Florence's historic centre and boasts proximity to all the main sights on foot. You couldn't ask for a better location, less than a twenty-minute stroll from the Duomo and the famous Piazzale Michelangelo viewpoint and even closer to the Pitti Palace's museums and gardens. 

The interior is warm and inviting, striking the perfect balance between authentic charm and contemporary comfort. We especially love the open-plan living space, primed for relaxation with a compact yet equipped kitchen, a large dining table, a cosy lounge and a majestic fireplace. Perched on the second floor, it feels delightfully peaceful despite its central location and offers beautiful views from its large shuttered windows. After a day of adventure, enjoy a glass of wine while admiring your scenic surroundings before slipping out for your reservation at one of the many eateries nearby.

Self Check-in / Check-out

Enjoying a privileged position right on the banks of the River Arno, this handsome apartment is just the ticket for those looking for a sunny, relaxing stay. 
 
Inside, Old World charm creates an instantly inviting welcome in the grand living area with a plethora of antiques and classical-style furnishings, as well as a beautiful mezzanine library – the ideal spot to stow yourself away for some quiet reading. Those looking to work from home will find plenty of desk spaces, including in the elegant bedrooms with their river views.
 
Our favourite spot, however, is the private terrace overlooking the Arno, the San Niccolò district and the Oltrarno hills. Start your mornings here over coffee while listening to the river’s whispers or end evenings with a spritz at sundown before discovering the local dining scene. 
 
Speaking of exploring, you're spoilt for choice when it comes to cultural hotspots nearby with the Uffizi Gallery a seven-minute walk, Ponte Vecchio a nine-minute stroll and the famous Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore thirteen minutes away on foot. 


Arno Poetry

Looking for a Florence bolthole that's as unique as it is central? This Santa Croce district apartment, set in a fresco-adorned palazzo and within walking distance of all the must-see sights, is spot-on. With ceilings soaring nearly six metres high in the open-plan living and bedroom space, and a mezzanine level providing access to an additional single bedroom and bathroom, the layout is a tad quirky. But we think this only adds to the charm. It’s worth noting that the kitchen is on the small side and better suited to lighter meals and breakfast. But with so many traditional Florentine restaurants just around the corner in the Santa Croce Piazza, we suspect you’ll be eating out alot.

Nice to haves

Ideally located in Florence’s historic centre, this comfortably grand apartment puts you in a prime position to explore the best of the city’s historic hotspots. 

There’s a definite air of Old World elegance here, with the large living area boasting tall beamed ceilings and a decorative hearth that recalls the building’s rich history. Terracotta tiled floors add to the traditional Italian charm, and the contemporary decor fits seamlessly with its surroundings, creating the perfect balance of rustic and modern. 

Gather together for sociable breakfasts in the dining room as you peruse the books here over an espresso and spend evenings curled up on the sofas in conversation over a glass of Italian wine. At night, the pared-back bedroom is ready to ease you into a dreamy night’s slumber, certain to leave you rested and raring to go for another day of Florentine adventure. 

Speaking of exploring, you’ve got a wealth of culture on your doorstep, including Palazzo Strozzi (130 metres away), Palazzo Vecchio (400 metres away), Ponte Vecchio (also 400 metres away), the Uffizi Gallery (500 metres away) and the stunning Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (550 metres away).

Marrying contemporary design with Italian flair, this apartment is a stylish base in the heart of Florence. The living space boasts modern artwork and a small kitchen. That said, with delicious eateries nearby, dining out will likely be on the cards. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms ensure there's plenty of privacy, too. However, the location is what makes this place a real star. A stroll in one direction will take you to Piazza della Signoria and the Uffizi Galleries. Head the opposite way to see the striking Basilica di Santa Croce and historic Teatro Verdi. Exploring on foot is a breeze here – it's perfect for those keen in the centre of the action.

Santa Croce Style

Wow, were the words we uttered when we walked into the living room of this home and saw the stunning views of the Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi Gallery and River Arno. The vistas are even better from the balcony – it's the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine and the Florentine skyline. Housed in a beautiful building, this recently renovated, elegant apartment is a lovely place to spend time in with its designer sofa, marble fireplace and gorgeous herringbone patterned wood floors.

If you want to explore what you can see from this home, it's around a thirty-second stroll to Ponte Vecchio, while the Uffizi Gallery is a four-minute walk. It's the same walking distance to Palazzo Pitti, one of Florence's largest architectural monuments. Other attractions nearby include the Strozzi Palace, which is eight minutes on foot. This home is ideal for two couples, a group of friends or a family wanting to be within walking distance of this glorious city's treasures.



A Window On Florence

Located in the centre of Florence, one of the artistic capitals of the world, this bright and modern design places you within minutes of famous sites like the Duomo, Accademia Gallery, and Medici Palace. The combined living and dining room features a kitchenette and ample windows, allowing you to enjoy a home-cooked meal while taking in views of the Medici Chapels. Though the décor is quite minimalist, we believe this centrally located apartment makes the perfect base for a couple looking to make the most of the city’s museums, restaurants, and bars.

The Medici Mix

Delivering knockout vistas of Florence's rooftops and the mighty Duomo from nearly every room, we've fallen hard for this central bolthole. Each light-filled bedroom is as elegant as the next, though they are short on floor and storage space, so we recommend packing lightly. It's also worth noting at full occupancy, it could be a squeeze to all kick back on the sofa, and while the kitchen is well-equipped, it's short on prepping space. It's the perfect excuse to eat out instead, and luckily, you're an olive stone's throw from countless traditional trattorias for all the Tuscan classics.

Located on the prestigious Via della Spada, you’ll also find plenty of boutiques on your doorstep. Inside this home, the sophisticated interiors and designer sofas provide a great place to relax (guests five and six will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room). There’s a private courtyard adorned with festoon lights here, too – the perfect spot for a glass of wine after exploring this cultural city.

This delightful home is a wonderful base in Florence, tucked away in the historic district of San Niccolò. Enjoy a top floor, a large private garden bordering the historic city walls built between the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and fortified by Michelangelo Buonarrati in the sixteenth century. It’s a short walk from Piazzale Michelangelo and within easy reach of the city’s hotspots, including the Duomo and the treasures within the Uffizi. From the lush, flower-filled gardens, you can admire views of Torre San Niccolò and the bell tower of the Basilica of Santa Croce. We love the gardens, which boast an alfresco dining space, sun loungers, and wisteria and walnut trees. Inside, you’ll find designer furnishings in the quiet apartment. It’s equipped with everything you might need, including a desk and a charming reading nook on the mezzanine. 

The Garden of Florence

Multiple Sets of Keys

Unsurprisingly, we’re going to start by talking about the view. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the living space look directly out onto the River Arno and the famous Ponte Vecchio – an outstanding feat of engineering from Europe’s Middle Ages. You’re that close, you can hear the water rushing underneath the stone from your private balcony. The interiors are modest but comfortable and do well not to distract you from the fantastic vistas. Set up a traditional Italian breakfast at the dining table and watch daybreak over the water, then finish your coffee on the comfy couch as you put the finishing touches to your Florentine checklist. Take the short, ten-minute stroll across the bridge to the heart of the city where the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and Bargello National Museum are an afternoon well spent. Enjoy a pit stop in the bustling Piazza della Repubblica before continuing on to the Accademia Gallery, the proud home of Michelangelo’s David.

The Old Ford

Distressed wooden beams line the high ceilings in this quaint Florence apartment. The accents of distressed wood and exposed traditional stone walls continue throughout the home, adding a layer of Tuscan farmhouse charm to this city apartment. Blink and you'll think you're in a twee cottage in the rolling hills of Tuscany. You wouldn't think you're right in the centre of Florence. It's the perfect blend of traditional charm with city convenience. And convenient it is – you're less than a ten-minute walk from so many of the city's hotspots. But first, the best way to prepare for a day of exploring is a hearty breakfast. Head to a nearby bakery to pick up some local goods and enjoy a beautiful spread around the large table. 

When you're ready to venture out, you're just a ten-minute walk from the Uffizi Gallery, Piazza del Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio, and so much more. Enjoy gaping at Renaissance masterpieces, shopping in quaint boutiques, and eating to your heart's content. When your feet can no longer go on, pick up some antipasto and a local bottle of wine to be enjoyed around the dining table before hitting the hay. Your queen-size bed promises a deep, restful sleep, preparing you to wake up refreshed and do it all again the next day. 

Fresco Faintness

This home's location is the epitome of Renaissance grandeur. You'll find it perched in Pitti Square, just steps from the vast Renaissance marvel of the Pitti Palace, where you'll find an array of art galleries and museums. Despite its central location, nestled in Florence's historic centre, this home is delightfully peaceful, perched up high on the fourth floor and tucked away from the hustle and bustle.

The interior is stylish and inviting, boasting lofty beamed ceilings and hardwood floors. Large windows usher in plenty of light while offering picturesque rooftop views. We especially love the open-plan living space, cloaked in a calming shade of baby blue and exuding an ambience of calm. After a restful slumber, enjoy slow mornings here, sipping espresso on the plush sofas and tucking into breakfast at the dining table before slipping out to explore. Stroll through the cobbled streets, passing through the shop-lined Ponte Vecchio and across the river to marvel at Centro Storico's array of medieval churches and cathedrals, including the red-tiled Duomo, thirteen minutes from your doorstep on foot.

Welcome Hamper

In the heart of Florence, you’ll find this apartment opens its doors to a refreshing city base. There are two private terraces, a barbecue and a Jacuzzi – perfect for long soak after a day of exploring. Inside, the rooms are well suited to families and groups in search of space to rest, relax and savour quality time together. Weekly housekeeping is provided and your host can help organise a range of extra services – including spa treatments and excursions. You’ll also be perfectly placed for explorations across the city. From here, it’s a short walk to Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo and the Uffizi Gallery.

Italian Musing

Luxury awaits at this central Florence apartment. It’s a beautiful home ideal for a family or group of friends, with a large living and dining space at its heart. Best of all, this attractive space opens onto a balcony with views of Florence’s most iconic bridges. You’ll be right next to Ponte Amerigo Vespucci and a short walk from attractions including the Duomo and Piazza della Signoria, in an area rich in history and charm and blissfully without crowds. 

Renaissance Bliss

Wine Cooler

Located in one of the most magical parts of Florence right by the Arno, this apartment opens its doors to a stylish Italian getaway. The owners have crafted a calm city sanctuary with space to stretch out, unwind or catch up on work. We love the clean lines, neutral tones, and pops of colour – it all feels very contemporary and sophisticated. Outside, private parking is a big perk if you're travelling by car. You can also stroll to restaurants, cafes, and local farmers' markets. Keen to visit the landmarks? It’s just a twenty-minute walk to iconic sights like Florence Cathedral as well as museums.

Santo Spirito Style

It’s the little details that make a home special. And this Oltrarno apartment has been thoughtfully restored to create a truly exceptional stay. 

With gentle tones and traditional features, there’s a lightness to this home – it’s a wonderful place to retreat whilst also experiencing the close proximity to the iconic sights of Florence. And whether you’re here with a plan or looking for a spontaneous city adventure, this dynamic space has everything you could need to feel at home. 

From relaxing mornings in the living area to simple meals at the table, this is the kind of space that enriches the moment with the joy of Italian living. Outside, you’ll find Oltrarno is brimming with bars, cafes and artisanal shops, as well as the iconic frescoes of Brancacci Chapel, and the Ornate fountains at the Gallery of Modern Art. 

The Raffaella Rose

Boasting a wonderfully central location in Florence – just a four-minute stroll from the Duomo – this elegant apartment is an ideal base for those looking to get the most out of the city’s history and culture. 

Elegantly dressed, there’s a feeling of classical charm here with the living room’s contemporary furnishings, scenic oil paintings, exposed stone walls and glossy floors, while the downstairs bedroom is a lavish affair with its crystal chandelier and large windows draped in silver curtains. Upstairs, meanwhile, the mezzanine bedroom feels cosy and intimate with its beamed ceiling and antique-style decor – we’re especially fond of the wooden bureau here that's ideal should you need to catch up on work. Factor in the pair of showers – one of which is a luxurious rainfall – and you’ve got everything you need for a comfortable, relaxing stay.

Outside of your home, you’ve got plenty of restaurants, bars and shops to explore right on your front door, while beautiful Piazza della Signoria is a one-minute walk away. You’re also just a five-minute walk from Ponte Vecchio, while Strozzi Palace is four minutes away on foot. 


La Signorina

Not many homes let you go sightseeing without even leaving the living room, but this apartment in the heart of Florence does – throw open the window and you're greeted by the sight of the 14th-century Orsanmichele's church. Your living quarters aren't quite as old, but there are a couple of more traditional features – including, look up, the patterned ceiling. A recent renovation has tastefully incorporated more contemporary aspects into the interior design and 21st-century travellers will find nothing to sniff at, especially when the fantastic central location is taken into consideration.

A Sprinkle of Magic

This apartment is just a short stroll from Piazza di Santa Maria Novella and the Strozzi Palace. Plenty of the city’s key attractions are also within easy walking distance, including Florence Cathedral and Palazzo Vecchio. You’ll have designer shops, restaurants, cafes and traditional markets on your doorstep too. Located in an elegant 19th-century building, you can take in the views over one of Florence’s most fashionable shopping streets from the apartment's windows. This home is a great choice for couples, families or friends looking to be surrounded by luxury boutiques and iconic landmarks. 

Boutiques & Landmarks

If the original frescoes adorning this apartment don’t impress, then its location surely will. Set in the historic Santa Croce district, there’s a piazza right around the corner bustling with traditional restaurants and all the sightseeing hotspots are easily reached on foot. Housed in a grand palazzo, the apartment is surprisingly practical despite its historic bones. There’s air conditioning throughout, two bathrooms to speed mornings along and a desk for working remotely. It’s worth mentioning that if four guests stay, the last two will share a sofa bed in the lounge. While this won’t suit everyone, it could work out great for a small family or friends sharing.

The Frescoes

Luxury Bedding

Underfloor Heating

Nestled in the cobbled heart of Florence, just a four-minute stroll from the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella, this home's location alone is enough reason for us to praise it to the skies. In true Florentine fashion, it enchants from the outset, sitting shoulder to shoulder with a delightful string of haute-couture boutiques and world-class art galleries. 

The beautifully-equipped interior exudes elegance, cloaked in calming neutral tones and vibrant pops of colour. Sweeping archways create a free-flowing ambience primed for relaxation, and large windows usher in heaps of natural light while offering picturesque snapshots of the pretty courtyard below. After a restful slumber in the sumptuous bedrooms, spend mornings roosted at the dining table for espressos and pastries before slipping out for a stroll to the red-tiled Duomo or across the river, passing through the shop-lined Ponte Vecchio – they're both just six minutes away on foot. 

Between adventures, kick back on the plush upholstery with a good book or a glass of wine and, if you feel so inclined, prepare delicious meals in the fully-equipped kitchen. Though, in this gourmet paradise, we wouldn't blame you for exploring the wide variety of eateries at your doorstep. 

Watercolour Clouds

Bathrobes

If you're looking for a central Florentine home that oozes Italian charm, this is it. And as a bonus, it boasts uninterrupted views of the famous Pitti Palace, sitting directly across from the magnificent structure. This characterful abode has been masterfully restored, seamlessly marrying original features with design-led touches. Shuttered windows, hardwood floors and whitewashed ceiling beams create an elegant aesthetic, complemented with tasteful antiques and plush soft furnishings.

Whichever double bedroom you choose, you'll be given the premium treatment. Comfort has been given the top priority here, followed closely by the restful colour scheme of off-white, soft greys and jewel-toned accents. We think the deep teal wallpaper adds a boutique feel to the space.

From this location, you won't struggle to tick Florence's must-see sights off your itinerary. Piazza della Signoria, considered the city's heart, is just a short hop across the river, while the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fior is just a thirteen-minute walk away. Immediately on your doorstep, an array of buzzy bars and traditional restaurants invites you to savour the very best of local cuisine. We'd suggest a light breakfast so you can load up on the pasta and pizza come dinnertime.

Pitti Pad

You'll be off to a flying start exploring the swoon-worthy streets of Florence with a stay at this loft-style apartment. Located slap bang in the middle of the historic centre with the mighty Basilica di San Lorenzo as your neighbour, settings don't come much better than this.
 
Delve into the city's romantic, winding stadas to discover renaissance delights at every turn, starting just around the corner at Brunelleschi's emblematic red cathedral dome on Piazza del Duomo (a five-minute stroll). When thoughts turn to food (and a glass of something crisp), dive into the countless trattorias and buzzy bars dotted around the streets to feast on Tuscan classic cuisine. And if you fancy a spot of shopping, one of the city's oldest open-air markets is right outside your door.
 
When it's finally time to rest up back at home, the galleried open concept living area inside this sleek apartment makes quite the first impression, with natural daylight flooding through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
 
An excellent choice for a couple or single traveller, the bedroom is perched on a mezzanine level with a smart, glass partition allowing you to make the most of those views of Basilica di San Lorenzo seen right through your window. Best savoured from bed with a freshly brewed coffee, we say. 

You've Got the Love

In the heart of Florence's trendy Oltrarno neighbourhood, this charming apartment is ideal for friends and families. Located on the top floor, both bedrooms have their own en-suites and there's a small balcony with space to stand out and enjoy the fresh air. The central location means you can expect some outside noise and one of the bathrooms is very small, but you'll have everything you need for a comfortable stay and the location is great for sightseeing. You'll be right across the road from the beautiful Palazzo Pitti and Boboli Gardens, and public transport is nearby for getting around.

Palazzo Pitti Retreat

Free Parking

This charming home is perfectly positioned in Florence, a short walk from Santa Maria Novella station and within easy reach of the magnificent Duomo. This apartment is ideal for a group of friends or a large family wanting a comfortable base – it can accommodate up to eleven guests, with some sleeping on the mezzanine level or on a sofa bed. The apartment is bright, warm, and welcoming, with tall windows and simple, fuss-free decor. It’s the kind of home-from-home you long for in a bustling city like Florence. 

The Flower of Florence

This apartment in Florence boasts amazing views of the city and the Arno River. Housed in a 14th-century building, this elegant home, furnished with works by renowned local artists, offers a blend of historical charm and modern sophistication. There’s a terrace overlooking the river and a balcony with vistas over buildings and a courtyard. There are two bedrooms here, while guests five and six will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room. Situated in the exclusive Santo Spirito district, you’ll be within walking distance of some of Florence's most iconic landmarks, such as Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo, the Uffizi Gallery and the Palazzo Vecchio. 

Arno View

Set in a historic building, we love this apartment’s view of the River Arno and Florentine architecture from the elegant living room. If you want to do some Italian cooking while you are here, the kitchen, though quite compact, has everything you probably need. Or, there are plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby to enjoy. This address, in the heart of Florence, means many of the city’s attractions are a short walk. The Museo Bardini is 20 metres away, while the Ponte Vecchio and the Fortezza di Belvedere are both around 600 metres from this home.

Renaissance Repose

This contemporary, elegant apartment is a wonderful home-from-home in Florence. You’ll be in the heart of the city, just a short walk from Piazza della Signoria, the Duomo, and the Uffizi. Restaurants, cafes, and gelaterias are all within easy reach of this conveniently located apartment, which looks out over the arcades. When you return from a busy day of sightseeing, you’ll have a petite patio to unwind on with a glass of wine. The apartment is stylish and attractive, with chic decor and tall windows that make it bright and welcoming. 

Renaissance Chic

Crossed Paths is right in the middle of the city – at one end of the street is Santa Maria Novella, at the other the river. It’s a great position to be in, and it feels like that’s informed some of the interiors. They’re kept in fantastic condition, but the decoration feels a little impersonal, and you’d struggle to cook a dinner party in that kitchen. Still, you aren’t exactly short of things to do and places to eat in the area. 


Crossed Paths

Apex has so many things going for it that focussing on the specifics seems unfair. Needless to say that everything in the flat is of the highest quality, whether that’s the carrara marble in the bathroom, or the four-poster bed. In fact it’s the bedrooms (or three of them anyway) that make the biggest impression. They’re what you might imagine from a seventeenth-century noble mansion, and while obviously all these things are personal preferences, they make for a seriously good night’s sleep.


Apex

Florence's renaissance delights are at every turn with a stay at this sleek apartment, set right in the heart of the city's historic centre. Blaze a trail through the city's romantic, winding streets to discover Brunelleschi's mighty red cathedral dome on Piazza del Duomo (a five-minute walk) or, even closer,  Basilica di San Lorenzo (a one-minute stroll). If you fancy a spot of shopping, look no further than outside your door. One of the city's oldest open-air markets with every type of Florentine leather goods going is right there – as are stellar drinking and eating destinations for all the Tuscan fare, pizza, and gelatos you could muster.
 
Back at this sleek apartment, the home feels like a tranquil hideaway, despite all the action going on outside. Housed in a traditional palazzo building, while the home is completely renovated for modern living, the lofty ceilings remain in the bedrooms giving the space a grandeur feel. 

Guests sharing will appreciate the two separate marble-clad bathrooms, so you can be up and at it in no time with a stay here. But you'll love the inner courtyard even more – it's the perfect spot to savour morning expressos or early evening aperitifs before another adventure in this enchanting city.

This apartment is housed in a Renaissance tower in the heart of Florence, just 50 metres from Piazza della Signoria. The apartment is simple in style, comfortable without being fussy. There's space to gather together in the open-plan living space and kitchen, though with so many restaurants nearby, you won't need to cook unless you really want to. The central location is the star of the show here, putting you within walking distance of the Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi Gallery, as well as boutiques and gelaterias. 

Florentine Modern

Ceiling Fans

Delivering knockout vistas of the Florentine hills from a private suntrap terrace and set within easy walking distance of the city’s must-sees, it’s no surprise this home caught our eye. By inner-city Florence standards, this apartment set over two floors is palatial. There’s a banquet-worthy dining room and a well-equipped Italian-style kitchen. Though, with countless trattorias just a stroll away, we suspect you’ll be eating out a lot. It’s worth noting, at full occupancy, the last two guests will have to make do with a single bed and pull-out bed in the cosy fourth bedroom. Fine for a short stay or children sharing – but it might not float everyone’s boat.
