On the southern side of the River Arno, away from the busiest hotspots of the central city but still close enough to be part of the action, this studio apartment awaits its next guests. While it may be small, it makes up for it with its cosy furnishings, big windows, and of course its location. Perfect for a getaway for two, it’s the ideal spot to make your base as you trek your way through Florence – the grand and imposing Palazzo Pitti is very close by on foot, and it’s only a fifteen-minute walk to get into the central city.

Studio Florentine

Overlooking the River Arno and some of Florence’s historic buildings, this apartment has a fantastic location. Set away from the crowds, yet within walking distance of the Piazza del Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi Gallery and more, this place offers the best of both worlds. Housed in an elegant building, this apartment has character features and the living space, as mentioned, has great views – this room also sleeps guests three and four on a sofa bed. You can enjoy the vistas from the bedroom, too, which also has a mezzanine seating area. This home is perfect for guests looking to see the city through the eyes of a local. 

A Slice of Tuscan Sun

Situated in San Frediano, renowned as 'the coolest neighbourhood in the world' according to Lonely Planet, for its gorgeous narrow streets, small artisan shops, gelato parlours, local bars and eateries, this desirable location is where old and new Florence blend together to form one beautiful district. Being so central also means you're a short walk from many of the celebrated attractions, including the Piazza Santo Spirito, Uffizi Gallery, Piazza del Duomo and Ponte Vecchio. 

Stepping into this third floor apartment, you'll instantly feel relaxed and welcome, thanks to the stylish interiors and abundant natural light pouring in through large balcony doors. Everything feels fresh and modern, with wooden accents, colourful decor, and waxed houseplants blended expertly together to create a peaceful place to call your own. 

Summertime in Florence 

Only a handful of homes in Florence overlook the beautiful Boboli Gardens – and this is one of them. Climb the spiral staircase to discover your own private terrace with a view, the perfect place to unwind after a day spent sightseeing. There’s also a lounge-diner and a separate kitchen for preparing homemade meals (we’ll have pasta please), plus two comfortable bedrooms (one with a bunk bed) and a bathroom. As well as the nearby Boboli Gardens, the apartment is walking distance from the Ponte Vecchio. This medieval bridge will take you across the Arno River to the historic heart of Florence – a walk that’s on many a traveller’s wish list.

The Boboli Terrace

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

If you want to explore Florence on foot, then head for this sleek apartment in the San Frediano district. A short stroll away from many of the city's best-loved attractions, it's the perfect place to begin your adventures. 

Fans of minimalist style will love this home, with its crisp white walls and wooden floors creating a soothing ambiance. The heart of the home is the ultra-modern kitchen, where you can embrace your inner nonna and whip up your favourite pasta dishes to enjoy with a glass of Chianti. And, the bedrooms are wonderfully peaceful – you can fall asleep thinking about your plans for the following day. 

From here, the Palazzo Pitti is ten minutes away on foot, where you can admire the Renaissance architecture, marvel at the art collection, and then stroll through the Boboli Gardens. Cross the river, and you can walk over to the city's famous basilica and cathedral in under fifteen minutes. And, when you get hungry, there are plenty of family-run restaurants to choose from, serving local Tuscan dishes. 

San Frediano Flair

How often do you get the chance to stay in a palace? On a darling little piazza? In the heart of authenticity, with a lively local atmosphere seconds away from the home’s quiet solace? That’s what you get with this central Florentine apartment. Situated within an old Renaissance palace, you’re overlooking the buzzing little Piazza del Carmine. All of Florence’s attractions are easily reached from here, particularly the Oltrarno sights as well as Santo Spirito and Ponte Vecchio. The apartment itself is like a time capsule of Renaissance Florence with gilded mirrors adorning the walls, herringbone floors, and oil paintings above plush beds. There’s plenty of seats in the living room; leather sofas, recliner chairs and a beautiful serpentine sofa to embrace palatial living. They say when in Rome, do as the Romans do. We say; when in Florence, stay in a palace.

Palace on the Piazza

A stone's throw from the historic heart of Florence, this apartment offers an authentic stay in the Tuscan capital. We love the mix of traditional character with contemporary conveniences – think parquet floors, wooden beams, and chic furniture bringing it all together. It can fit seven guests at a squeeze, though we think it's best for five if sharing space isn't your thing. As for location, you're a twenty-minute walk from the red dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and fifteen from the scenic Boboli Gardens. There's also an array of local eateries on your doorstep – perfect for a night on the town.

A Tuscan Tapestry

This apartment in central Florence puts you steps from the Ponte Vecchio and Palazzo Strozzi, with the city’s historic sights all around. The bright living room looks out towards the Uffizi, while parquet floors and classic details give the space a timeless feel. The compact kitchen is well equipped for easy meals at home, and there’s a laundry room for longer stays. Outside, Florence is on your doorstep, from the Duomo and Boboli Gardens to Piazzale Michelangelo’s panoramic views, you’ll have the best of the city within easy reach.

First Class Living

If you've perfected your dream Florentine sightseeing list, then this apartment is the place for you. Located in the San Frediano neighborhood, just a stone's throw away from many of the city's most famous landmarks, it's a wonderful spot to kick back and relax between your adventures. 

Step inside, and you'll find a bright and airy space that invites you to get comfortable. There are traditional details, like the ceiling beams and exposed wood doorframes, but the owner has added plenty of modern touches too. If you need to catch up on work, there's a gorgeous antique desk where you can use your laptop. And, budding chefs can practice their favourite Italian dishes in the smart kitchen, before serving their culinary creations at the glass dining table. 

If you'd prefer to eat out, then there are plenty of options in the surrounding streets, serving Tuscan classics in family-run restaurants. Art lovers will be delighted that the world-famous Uffizi Gallery is just a twelve-minute stroll away, and you can wander over to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in fifteen minutes. The Palazzo Pitti is close too – a nine-minute walk will bring you to the palace and the stunning Boboli Gardens behind it. 

Fabulous In Florence

With a balcony overlooking the wonderful Boboli Gardens, this sun-kissed apartment allows for full immersion in Florentine culture and history. The narrow but comfortable living room, dining area and kitchenette provide all the requisite amenities, and with two double bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms, the home is ideal for two couples (or two guests who like their own space).  If you're eager to explore the historic city on foot, major squares and attractions like the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore are only twenty-five minutes away across the River Arno, while the gardens that provide a backdrop to your balcony breakfast can be accessed in five.

Boboli Vista

This top-floor apartment puts you right in the heart of Florence’s vibrant Oltrarno district, known for its artisan workshops, traditional trattorias, and lively piazzas. You’ll be just a short stroll from the historic centre, yet tucked away in a quieter, more local part of the city. You’ll want to note, there’s no lift and quite a few stairs to climb. However, when you walk in you’ll see the space is cosy and well laid out, with a welcoming living area and a spiral staircase leading to the bedroom. The highlight here is the rooftop terrace – perfect for sipping a coffee or wine while looking out over Florence’s rooftops.
