In an enviable location directly on the River Arno, this home offers ample space and stunning views. We think it’d be very well suited to groups of friends or families, as it has a great social space but individual guests can still have their privacy. You can imagine the main area being used for hosting dinner parties, or just for relaxing on the sofa after a day of exploring. We thought the bathrooms were a little on the small side, but in a home this beautiful in this location, we can look past that.

You'll find it easy to be immersed in Florence’s rich history and culture as this apartment has a perfect location near the Ponte Vecchio and the Arno River. It’s less than 10 metres from the Cathedral of Santa Maria dei Fiori, Piazza della Repubblica, Piazza della Signoria and the Uffizi Museum. You’ll often find musicians and opera singers performing in the square opposite as well. The apartment is on the third floor of a historic building, so there’s no lift, but it’s worth the climb. The open-plan living space is bright, and it accommodates two guests on a sofa bed at full occupancy. Book this place before someone else does.

A Tuscan Breeze

Situated in the heart of Florence, with the iconic Ponte Vecchio only a stone’s throw away, this home gives you access to some of the capital’s best sights. See the city’s love of art in renaissance galleries and museums within walking distance, and don’t miss the touristy bits like the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and Piazzale Michelangelo – more of a walk, but worth the views. The home, on the sixth floor with a working elevator – rare in Florence – might not be revolutionary, and the kitchen is small, but it is comfortable, and the view of the river and Duomo is a nice touch.

Ode to Santa Maria

Situated just a five-minute walk from the famed Duomo in the heart of Florence, this traditional Italian loft with views of Brunelleschi’s Cupola and Giotto’s Bell Tower offers an aura of true historic wonder. While the living area has limited space, the exposed timber ceilings, large windows, and modern fixtures provide a balance of traditional style with modernity and ease. While the nearby restaurants and galleries are sure to take up most of your time, the fully equipped kitchen and en-suite master bedroom will help ensure a sense of autonomy and privacy throughout your stay.

It’s easy to see why this apartment made our collection. Take a look at the stunning vistas over the River Arno and the Ponte Vecchio from the two Juliet balconies here. But this place isn’t all about the view – the sophisticated interiors are a highlight, too. Each bedroom has a luxury Italian marble en-suite bathroom as well. And as for the location, well, this home is 30 metres from Ponte Vecchio, and you’ll have cafes and restaurants literally on your doorstep.

The Lights of Florence

You don’t have to worry about long walks into town when you stay at this gorgeous Florentine apartment. Located on one of the main shopping streets, Calzaiuoli, it’s a very short, four-minute hop to both the Duomo and the Palazzo Vecchio and you're practically on top of Piazza della Repubblica. What you might have to worry about is how to get all the souvenirs you’ll undoubtedly buy while staying in this enticing retail district into your suitcase. Or which wine to serve with the delicious pasta dish you're serving your friends from the well-equipped kitchen. Decorated in neutral tones and with hints of history in the original brickwork, this is a serene place to return after you’ve just popped out to some of the world famous landmarks that are right on your doorstep.

Found in a 17th-century building only minutes from the Ponte alle Grazie, this modern apartment has some of the best landmarks nearby. Both Palazzo Vecchio and the Basilica of Santa Croce can be found on foot, but the location isn't all this home has to offer. The sleek kitchen is where you can put newly acquired pasta-making skills to use. You'll also find a wine fridge here for stocking the perfect vintage. There's plenty of space, even with four guests sleeping on sofa beds. And the courtyard seating with a vertical garden is a really nice added bonus, especially for sunset drinks. 

17th Century Florence

Desk / Workplace

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.

Courtyard

Garden

It’s rare to find a garden apartment in the centre of Florence, especially one that only shares its plant-filled courtyard with one other home. Guests here have access to a big courtyard garden, furnished for evening drinks or meals outside and with a solarium should the weather turn. Glass double doors lead into the open kitchen, dining and living room where there are all the basics for meals at home. That’s if you’re not too busy exploring the Tuscan eateries on your doorstep. In the centre of Florence, this apartment is footsteps from the Ponte Vecchio and it’s a short stroll to the world-famous Uffizi Gallery.

A Touch of Grace

Balcony

Elegance meets comfort at this apartment in the heart of Florence. There are shops, restaurants, bars and gelaterias on your doorstep and the striking facade of the city’s famous Duomo is just a short stroll away. It’s on the second floor of a historic building, so you’ll need to be ok with a few steps to the entrance, but once inside you can forget about the rush of the city. The plush dining table is big enough for the whole group and traditional touches like the coffered wood ceiling and French-style windows keep things feeling typically Tuscan. 

Giraldi Grandeur

Juicer

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.

Located within a 16th-century Palazzo, this apartment offers a unique stay in the heart of Florence. From here, you can stroll to iconic sights like the Basilica of Santa Croce and Ponte Vecchio. You’ll also be spoiled for choice when it comes to restaurants, cafes and bars. Back at home, the living room lends itself perfectly to evening drinks, while the bedrooms (all of which have an en-suite bathroom) make it easy to unwind. Guests can also enjoy access to a shared gym and terrace.

Just over a five-minute walk from this apartment you’ll find a variety of landmarks including the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. 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.

L'Eleganza di Via della Spada

Overlooking Piazza della Signoria, this apartment has a fantastic address. Attractions such as the Fountain of Neptune, Piazza del Duomo and the Ponte Vecchio are all within a very short stroll. Back at this apartment, housed in a historic palazzo, you can take in the views over Piazza della Signoria – the vistas here are stunning. The living area is a great place to relax after a busy day in Florence – this room also sleeps guests five and six on a sofa bed. This home is a great find.

Experience the timeless elegance of historic Florence in this beautiful home. Housed in a 19th-century palazzo adorned with cherubs and griffins, this is a striking Florentine apartment. Look forward to 5-metre-high frescoed ceilings, historic paintings, and parquet flooring. Two living rooms and a separate dining room mean you’ll have all the space you need, though at full occupancy, four guests will share bedroom one, with two sleeping on the mezzanine level. The apartment is just five minutes from iconic Ponte Vecchio and a fifteen-minute walk from the Duomo. 

Vecchio Vibes

Florence's most famous landmarks are mere steps from this apartment. Ponte Vecchio, Piazza Signoria, Florence Cathedral, and plenty more are less than ten minutes away on foot. Of course, being in the heart of the city has its quirks. Noise is likely here, and a climb to the third floor is required as the building doesn't have a lift. But once inside, we reckon you'll appreciate the traditional features on offer. The open-plan living area has just enough room to decompress after sightseeing as well as a compact (yet well-appointed) kitchen to rustle up Italian dishes. Two guests will sleep on a sofa bed, though – fine for short stays, but may not suit everyone.

Florentia

It’s hard to beat the location of this apartment, which is in the heart of Florence. The city’s main square, Piazza della Signoria, is just moments away, and you’ll also be a short walk from landmarks like Florence Cathedral (also known as the Duomo) and the Uffizi Galleries (an art-lover’s dream). With its high ceilings and wooden beams, this two-bedroom apartment blends character and comfort. There's a kitchen for cooking at home, however with so many restaurants right nearby, you can take a break from cooking if you prefer. It makes a great base for exploring – just remember to pack a comfortable pair of sightseeing shoes.

Dante's Love

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

With its slightly kitsch, pop art-inspired aesthetic, Rush Grande won’t appeal to everyone, but it has an undeniable sense of playfulness, and you can’t argue with a location like that. The flat is surrounded by Renaissance architecture, with both the Duomo and the Palazzo Vecchio a few minutes away on foot. The structure itself also fits into the category, and the wooden beams are a nice touch that keep the interior grounded in the area’s history, even if the contrast with the art is striking.


Rush Grande

Around the corner from Ponte Santa Trinità, Chimney Sweep is in a great location for seeing the centre of Florence. Despite being set over three levels, it’s quite small, but while the kitchen is a little underwhelming, the rest of the house feels pleasantly cosy. Unusually, one of our favourite parts of the home is the single room. What used to be an enormous stone fireplace has been converted into a writing nook, and it feels like a wonderful place to set up shop with a laptop and get to work on your novel.


Chimney Sweep

A simple, unflashy, but generally pleasant loft, Rush Hour’s main draw is its proximity to the Duomo. It also has a set of French windows that light up the entire place (it’s all a single room, with the exception of the bathroom). There are a couple of sister flats in the same building, still managed by Valerio, so while the flat itself can’t really accommodate more than two people, larger groups could book more than one place at a time.

Rush Hour

Free Parking On Premises

From the moment you arrive at this graceful two-bedroom apartment, you are taken back to a bygone era of Florence. In keeping with the city’s Renaissance art and architecture, this home is an unaltered celebration of baroque styling and Florentine furnishings. 

Culture-seekers will love the authentic living area, with beautifully aged wooden tables, warm chandelier lighting, and quaint floral paintings. Each room is filled with old-time charm, courtesy of the many antiques dotted around, and the homely touches carefully applied throughout. We love the comfy and stylish bedrooms, both of which are accompanied by pristine marble bathrooms, and the beautiful mezzanine area is a great place to sprawl out and unwind in the evening. 

With the Basilica di Santa Croce on your doorstep, you’re surrounded by the delights of Florence in this prime location. Spend your days exploring this glorious city, with the knowledge that this warm and cosy nest awaits you. 


A Painter's Charm

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

Right above Florence's Teatro Verdi, this two-bedroom apartment is ideal for families and friends, with a sofa bed in the living room for an extra two guests. The gorgeous art of famous works like Michelangelo's David above the beds really make this home stand out, and while you can expect some outside noise here due to the location, we think it's more than worth it. You'll be just steps from attractions like the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, as well as plenty of shops and restaurants for stocking up on essentials and trying the local cuisine.

Florence's Gate

This handsome apartment is nestled in the historic centre of Florence – making this a great base from which to explore the city. You’ll be just a stone’s throw from Piazza Santa Croce and Piazza della Signoria, while the Duomo is also within easy reach. Take your pick from a diverse selection of local restaurants and cafes, or savour the comfort of dining at home. There is plenty of socialising space across the living room and there is a private terrace – a nice perk in this central location. At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living but this is a handy option for families travelling with kids. 

Italian Heaven

Free Parking

Immerse yourself in all that the magical city of Florence has to offer with a stay at this charming apartment situated right at the heart of the old town, just steps away from the iconic Duomo. Located in a historic building, this place retains all of its vintage charm while at the same time boasting modern comforts and luxury to make your holiday extra restful. 

Enter through the front door to be greeted by a bright living space, with floods of natural light gently streaming in through the large windows. We love the high ceilings with their white wooden beams – what could be more authentically Florentine than that? You’ll find plenty of room to kick off your shoes and relax on the comfy sofa which at night can be pulled out to serve as a double bed. The kitchenette may be small in scale but it has all you need to whip up a quick and delicious supper or breakfast, which you can then enjoy with your loved ones at the elegant dining table by the window. 

When you also consider the plush and luxurious bedrooms, with their soft beds and lovely pale tones, as well as the spa-like ambience of the modern bathrooms, you know that you have all you need to have a relaxing stay. 

Start your day with a fresh cup of Italian coffee before heading out to discover the many gems of Florence – aside from the proximity to the Duomo you’ll also be a three-minute walk away from the Bargello Museum, which houses many of Michelangelo's masterpieces. 

The Green Dome 

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

Home Cinema Setup

From its exposed brick walls to its beamed ceilings and arched windows, this rustic-meets-modern apartment is a slice of Florentine traditionalism, given a swish 21st-century sparkle. 
 
The open-plan main room is the home’s sociable heart, with plump sofas congregated around a large screen for cosy movie nights over a bottle of Italian wine and an elegant dining space that beckons home-cooked feasts when you’re not out sampling the local trattorias. We love the kitchen’s forest green cabinetry and marble countertops, while the bedroom – a haven of brick and beams – offers a dreamy setting for a blissful night’s sleep. Factor in the large bathroom with a dual rainfall shower, and you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing, pampered stay 
 
And when it comes to exploring, you’re in a prime sightseeing spot with Ponte Vecchio a two-minute walk, the Pitti Palace a three-minute stroll and the Uffizi Gallery six minutes away on foot, just over the Arno. With the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore also just a ten-minute walk and Piazza della Signoria eight minutes on foot from your door, you’ve got the best of the city’s history and culture within easy reach.

Staying in this 16th-century home promises to be memorable. Adorned with original frescoes, luxurious details and plenty of personal touches, this is the perfect setting for a Florentine adventure. Each of the bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom and there is a private lift. You can also enjoy access to a shared terrace and a gym, while the location means it’s just a short walk to iconic sights like Ponte Vecchio and the Basilica of Santa Croce. Take your pick from a great selection of restaurants and bars, or savour the comfort of dining at home.

The Chapter Begins

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

Admire the vistas of the Arno River and the Ponte Vecchio from this beautiful, newly renovated apartment. It's the perfect choice for a group of friends or family looking for a fabulous location in the heart of the city. Located in an elegant building, this home's large and bright living room is a lovely place to relax in. Rustle up a papardelle al cinghiale in the modern kitchen, or if you prefer to eat out, there are plenty of sublime restaurants within walking distance. 

If you want to visit some of Florence's best-loved attractions, you're in luck. Palazzo Vecchio is a four-minute stroll, while the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is an eight-minute walk. Or see the magnificent Ponte Vecchio more up close – it's a ten-second hop and a skip, while Palazzo Pitti, one of Florence's largest architectural monuments, is a six-minute saunter away. With such incredible views and Florence on its doorstep, this home is a real find.


Love Can Build A Bridge

Stay in the cradle of Italy's art scene at this enchanting, plant-filled apartment. All of Florence's most romantic spots are just moments away, from the Gothic-style Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore to the Uffizi Gallery's collection of Renaissance masterpieces. Walk the narrow cobbled streets and feast your eyes on the city's plethora of architectural achievements, knowing that when you tire of landmark-hopping, your characterful retreat awaits.

The two-bedroom home makes a strong case for eclectic decor – your hosts have used a heavy hand when placing plants and paintings around the apartment. The resulting space carries oodles of charm, with plenty to look at and feel inspired by before you've even delved into Florence's art world. The high ceilings and arched doorways give it a feeling of grandeur that's rare in the hub of a city. On the sun-soaked balcony, you can enjoy a pocket of peace in this cosmopolitan destination as you sip your morning espresso.

Artist's Abode

This apartment is on the third floor of a historically important palazzo in Florence. It’s perfectly located for exploring the city, with most of the main attractions a ten-fifteen-minute walk away, including Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi. The Basilica of Santa Croce is a few steps away, and the apartment boasts spectacular views of Florentine rooftops. The apartment is full of historic charm – we love the frescoed ceilings – and has plenty of space for all twelve guests to spend time together. 

Terracotta Embrace

In the heart of Florence, this home gives you the chance to experience the magic of Italian living. Consisting of two independent apartments on the same floor, this is a great option for groups and families with plenty of space to stretch out and unwind. You’ll have two kitchens, two living rooms and there’s a little balcony for evening drinks. Outside, you couldn’t be better placed for explorations across the city. From here, it’s just a short stroll to Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria and the Duomo.

Slow River 

What an outstanding location this fabulous home has in Florence – it's less than a minute's stroll from the medieval splendour of Ponte Vecchio. The magnificent Palazzo Pitti, one of Florence's largest architectural monuments, is a five-minute stroll away – a good time to visit is at sunset when the façade turns a pink hue. It's the same walking distance to the Uffizi Gallery in the historical centre of Florence. The wonderful markets at Piazza Santo Spirito, on the other hand, are a six-minute saunter – perfect for a morning browse. Of course, as you'd expect from one of the city's most desirable areas – there are plenty of fine restaurants right on your doorstep, as well as a couple of artisan wine shops. Enjoy some cantuccini dipped in vin santo on the gorgeous, large balcony or create some tagliatelle funghi porcini e tartufo from local truffles for dinner in the open-plan kitchen and enjoy at your dining table. We love the vintage prints that adorn the walls here, as well as the French doors with their views over the neighbourhood. After a busy day of sightseeing, have a soak in the bathtub and then get some rest in the serene bedrooms before another day in beguiling Florence.

Focal Length

Rooftop Terrace

We adore this chic home's stunning terrace with its wonderful view of the Duomo di Firenze (Florence Cathedral) and many of the city's famous sights. It's a huge space, nestled in among the rooftops and drenched in sun. As the sun goes down, it's the perfect place to eat some local produce and sample some Tuscan wine. We also really love the living room style – its simplicity defined, with pale colours and a clear influence from Scandinavian design. Located in the heart of Florence's luxury shopping district, Via dè Tornabuoni is just a three-minute stroll away. This neighbourhood is also known for its array of Florentine restaurants, cafes and bakeries. If you want to visit the Duomo, it's a four-minute wander, while the medieval Ponte Vecchio is an eight-minute saunter. For art lovers, the Uffizi Gallery is just over ten minutes on foot. Whatever you decide to do – make sure you bring comfy shoes – there's so much to see nearby. 

Roundabout

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

Throws

To find an apartment this close to the Ponte Vecchio and the Vasari Corridor (we're talking less than a minute away) in the heart of Florence's historic centre is special. But to bag a place with a courtyard garden to boot?⁠ Now that's a rare thing.
 
On sunny mornings, pad outside across the cool, terrazzo floors for a lazy breakfast and expressos in the surprisingly peaceful courtyard –⁠ it's a lovely spot for an evening aperitif, too, with the palazzo lit up in all its glory. 
 
Housed in a historic palace with an entrance of high and mighty proportions, inside this home doesn’t disappoint either. Newly renovated, there's a chromotherapy spa shower room complete with a star-lit ceiling and a light-filled, beautifully-styled bedroom complete with a walk-in closet to unpack and make the home your own.

When it's time to delve into Florence's winding, romantic streets, you won't have far to go. Follow in Medici's footsteps along the famous Vasari Corridor adorned with antique statues and 16th-century frescoes – the newly re-opened 1km-long covered passageway is on your doorstep (we recommend booking a tour in advance). Or hop over the Arno River and make a beeline to Brunelleschi's mighty red cathedral dome on Piazza del Duomo (a mere ten-minute stroll) and get ready to swoon.
