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.

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.

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

Set within a restored 19th-century Palazzo, this home is the perfect backdrop to an atmospheric Florentine escape. From the elegant rooms to the romantic aesthetic and range of extra services (including private chefs), every detail has been considered to bring ease to your city stay. Remote workers will also appreciate the dedicated desk space, while those in search of an Italian adventure will love this location. Nestled in the heart of Santa Croce, it’s a short stroll to the river, while galleries, shops and cafes are all within walking distance.

Retaining it's old Florentine features, this charming apartment offers you an authentic experience with the ease of reaching the most celebrated attractions on foot. The real star of the show is the large outdoor patio and garden, complete with seating, potted plants and verdant foliage. Enjoy alfresco breakfasts in the morning sunshine and sip a chilled glass of wine in the balmy summer evenings. 

Stepping inside, you'll immediately notice the traditional elements of the home – from the beamed ceilings to the azulejo tiled flooring – that add a real warmth to the apartment. Slump down on the huge orange-coloured sofa with a good book, gather your group for lunch in the dining room, and get a restful night's sleep in the cosy bedrooms. 

When it's time to head out, you'll find yourself in the lively district of San Niccolò, a short stroll from the Arno River. Crossing over the Ponte alle Grazie, you'll be within easy reach of the Basilica of Santa Croce, with typical restaurants and artisan coffee shops nearby.

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.

Wellness & Fitness

Underfloor Heating

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. 


River Elegance

Steps away from the impressive collections of the Stefano Bardini Museum, this bright apartment is in a cultural hotspot. Close to other galleries, the Pritti Palace and the iconic Ponte Vecchio, this home connects you to the best of historic Florence without shying away from the new – find trendy bakeries and cafes within walking distance. Though it might feel a little more spacious with just four guests, it can accommodate six by folding out the sofa bed in the living room. That would mean that not everyone has a seat at the dining table, but that's a small compromise to make for the location. 

La Soprano

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

For those in search of timeless Italian charm, this apartment delivers a great solution. Located within a 19th-century Palazzo, you’ll find elegant rooms, frescoed ceilings and a thoughtfully curated living space. The kitchen is well equipped for relaxing meals at home, while the baths provide the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploration. And while it’s possible you may hear some street noise throughout your stay, the location means easy access to some of the city’s most inspiring spots. From here, it’s a short walk to the Duomo, the Basilica and Piazza Santa Croce. 


The Florentine Muse

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

Balcony / Patio

History lovers should consider this elegant apartment, set in a 19th-century palazzo. The Santa Croce district puts famous landmarks like the Uffizi Gallery just a stone's throw away, as well as a variety of places to eat and drink. Though the lift doesn't quite reach the fourth floor, this home provides a thoughtful space with a desk for business travellers, and roomy bathrooms for relaxing soaks. After a busy day of Florentine sightseeing, the terrace is a lovely spot to retreat to.

The Little Queen

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

Imagine being able to look out at one of the world’s most famous bridges without having to wrestle against crowds of people for the best viewing spot. Being able to get out of bed in the morning and enjoy the views before the city stirs. Or watching the sunset over Ponte Vecchio with an evening cocktail from the comfort of the sofa. Just try not to get too distracted by the views outside to miss how beautiful the home itself is. Panelled walls, marble bathrooms and a glittering chandelier are just some of the standout features in this central Florentine home. The blue and white interiors are not only aesthetically pleasing, but promote a sense of serenity in an otherwise bustling city. You’re perfectly placed to enjoy the best that Florence has to offer, with all the main historical sites just a short walk away, including the Duomo, the Boboli Gardens and the Uffizi Gallery less than five minutes away. Air conditioning will keep you feeling cool in the summer months and the lift makes it easy to access the home. All you have to worry about is where you're going to head to first. 

Vecchio Views

Located in a 19th-century Palazzo in the bustling Santa Croce neighbourhood, this apartment is a comfortable bolthole for families, friends or couples. While the place is modern, you’ll notice nods to the building’s history in the ceiling frescoes. There is a kitchen here, but we think it’s better suited for light meals. If you’d prefer something more substantial, there are restaurants on the doorstep. Plus, the famous Uffizi Gallery and Ponte Vecchio are a short walk away. 

Rose of Florence

This charming apartment is located in a 19th-century palazzo in the Santa Croce district of Florence. Though it’s a little traditional, we think it fits its surroundings, and more importantly, you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay. With both bedrooms being en-suites, it’s a great place for sharing with family or friends, while also maintaining your privacy. Thanks to the home’s central location, you’re near the Uffizi Gallery and plenty of small shops, cafes, and restaurants. If you’re looking to accommodate a larger group, there are more apartments in this building which you may be able to rent together. 

Piazza Beat

Discover the very best that Florence has to offer with this one-bedroom apartment. Ideal for a couple for a romantic getaway or for those seeking an immersion into the cradle of the Renaissance, you’ll be inspired as soon as you see the stunning views across the Arno and towards Florence Cathedral, whose dome towers over its surroundings and dominates the landscape. Though the decor is a bit dated and the kitchen is quite small, this home’s location makes up for it – mere minutes away from the river and the iconic Ponte Vecchio, there’s no lack of things to see around here.

Dome Vista

In the heart of Santa Croce, this 19th-century Palazzo has been transformed into an immersive Florentine sanctuary. And located on its third floor, you’ll find this apartment provides the perfect spot to relax and unwind after a day of exploring. Spread across two levels, the rooms are elegant, family-friendly and well-suited to remote workers. Enjoy the views from the sitting room, savour the comfort of home cooking or walk to a nearby restaurant. You’ll also find the Uffizi Gallery and the river are within easy reach.

The Crimson Rose

Commanding a stunning view of the famous Arno River as it weaves its way through Florence, this apartment is an ode to the style of art that made the city famous. Renaissance-style decor is present throughout the entire home, with elegant paintings and ornate columns throughout. As far as the location is concerned, this is Florence at its most authentic – artisan studios, bustling piazzas and relaxed trattorias are all within walking distance. The real highlight, though, is the extreme proximity to the iconic Ponte Vecchio bridge – just a three-minute walk away along the banks of the Arno.

The Arno Muse

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

This is one of ten plush apartments within a renovated 19th-century palazzo. It’s in the centre of Florence, just a few minutes’ stroll along the banks of the River Arno from the Ponte Vecchio. The Uffizi Gallery and Duomo are within easy walking distance too. Split over the second and third floor of the building, the open kitchen, living and dining room is on the lower level, facing the quiet of an internal courtyard. The upper level is dedicated to the huge main bedroom with a covered terrace overlooking the Corso dei Tintori.

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

When you visit a city like Florence, you want to be right at the heart of things. Soaking up the atmosphere of the city, and immersing yourself in the culture, history, and food is the best thing about a city break. This apartment is perfect for that – it’s in an enviable location in San Niccolò, just a twelve-minute walk from Piazzale Michelangelo. 

The apartment is neat and bright, with everything you might need for your city break. The bed is comfortable, sitting beneath a traditional wood-beamed ceiling – touches like this add real warmth to the space. In the morning, you might whip up some breakfast in the petite but practical kitchen before heading out sightseeing – or if you’re anything like us, you’ll be touring the local food scene just as keenly as you are the art and architecture. 

Make your way around the city on foot – everything is within easy reach, and it’s the best way to live like a local. The iconic Ponte Vecchio is eleven minutes away on foot, while the heart of the city – the Duomo – is nineteen minutes away. 


Un Bacio 

With its tall ceilings decorated in intricate frescoes and vibrant Santa Croce location, this plush apartment guarantees a stay to remember. Florence’s most famous sights, including the Uffizi Gallery and Ponte Vecchio, are within walking distance, and there are bus stops close by for trips further afield.

It's been modernised to include all the essential 21st-century comforts – a sophisticated kitchen, sleek bathrooms, and even air conditioning. Yet, you'll find hints of the home's past in the wooden ceilings and original pietra serena staircase leading up to the main suite. Topping it all off is the private garden, where you can relax with a glass of Italian vino and soak up the sunshine. In terms of location, you're sandwiched between two stunning gardens: Bardini Garden and the Boboli Garden. All the landmarks in central Florence can also be reached on foot.

Florentine Fantasy

Rice Maker

This apartment places you in the heart of Florence, just steps from Pitti Palace, Boboli Gardens, and Piazzale Michelangelo. If a convenient location is at the top of your list, then this home is a great fit. It’s not the most soulful or stylish space, with a simple living area that lacks decorative details. However, this won’t bother those who are looking to drop off their bags and explore the must-see attractions nearby – bear in mind that some city noise should be expected from this central spot. 

Ladies & Gentlemen

Overlooking the river from the banks of the Arno, this Florence apartment is all about the view. And the outdoor seating gives you ample opportunity to appreciate it from a shady spot. But, it's worth noting you'll have to earn those views by climbing five flights of stairs up to the apartment. Still, it's cosy and the building peaks and spires across the river are still visible even from inside the living room. Though the traditional style here might not appeal to everyone, the location is hard to resist. Walk to the Uffizi Gallery to start your love affair with Renaissance art and make a scenic crossing over the Ponte alle Grazie - both are minutes away. 

A Tale of Florence

Located in the heart of Florence, this apartment offers a great getaway to explore this beautiful city. Though its decor is a little traditional, it comes with plenty of modern amenities for a comfortable stay. With all bedrooms being en-suites, it’s a great place to share with family or friends while at the same time maintaining some privacy. Thanks to its central location, it’s near plenty of shops, cafes, and restaurants, as well as famous sights such as the Basilica di Santa Croce di Firenze and the Piazza della Signoria. 

The Palace Retreat

Free Parking On Street

The apartment has been thoughtfully put together so you’ll have everything you need at your fingertips – it’s the ideal home from home. You’ll sleep well in the comfortable beds, and wake up ready to head out and see the sights. The iconic Ponte Vecchio is a three-minute walk from the apartment, and the perfect place to start your tour.

You’ll have your pick of the finest eateries in Florence right on your doorstep, so you needn’t travel far for your next great meal. 

After a hectic day of seeing the sights, you’ll be glad to have such a peaceful and elegant home to return to. Sit back and sip a glass of Chianti, or perhaps slip into the whirlpool tub to really relax. 


Nutmeg

DVD Player

Sitting pretty near the banks of the River Arno, this top-floor apartment enjoys spellbinding views over Florence. You can soak them up from whichever terrace takes your fancy – there are two to choose from here – but there’s only enough space for a couple of people on each, so make sure to choose your cocktail companion wisely. Inside, though, there’s plenty of space to get together as a group with sofa beds offering flexible sleeping arrangements. There’s a dedicated desk in the study too – perfect for writing your postcards back home, or if you really must, catching up on work. 

Florence Love

Step inside this apartment and feel instantly transported to the Renaissance. Part of a lovingly restored 19th-century palazzo, the design is bursting with charm. We're swooning over the frescoes on the vaulted ceilings – it's like living in your own art gallery. Another highlight is the two en-suite bathrooms, each with a soaker bath. There's also a compact kitchen that's perfectly sized for rustling up aperitivo. Location-wise, you're in the heart of historic Florence here. Whether you want to take in the views from the top of the Duomo or admire the art at the Uffizi Gallery, you're a stone's throw from all this city has to offer.

Fresco Fantasy

With sweeping views over Florence's rooftops, you can see why this smart apartment caught our eye. Location-wise, the city's iconic Ponte Vecchio is on your doorstep, while authentic bistros, restaurants and bars are all within walking distance. There are two kitchens and plenty of spaces to rest with your group. You'll also find three en-suite bathrooms to help speed mornings along, just keep in mind that the main bedroom is left open to the communal living area. It's also worth noting that at full capacity, two people will be sleeping on a double sofa bed.
