Bright and homely, this charming Florentine apartment is perfect for couples or a small family on a getaway in the city. There’s no lift here, as expected in a beautiful Liberty-style building, so you’ll need to climb stairs to reach the home. Still, it’s a small price to pay for the location. We love the second bedroom, accessed via a spiral staircase and oozing tranquillity – just watch your head on those sloping ceilings and beams. And when you’re ready to explore, many major sightseeing spots are within walking distance, while the Belfiore tram stop is nearby for jaunts further afield.

Located on inside a restored historical building near Piazza della Republica, Pietra Serena is a great stay if you want the city's museums other sights to be on your doorstep. This is a peaceful home, designed with comfort in mind – there are chromotherapy lights in the living room and bathrooms which let you change the light to suit your mood. The second bedroom's single bed is only accessible via the ladder, but just like the rest of the furniture, it's both stylish and immaculate. We particularly loved the high living room ceiling, which amplifies the natural light.

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.

Il Bibliofilo

Snug and intimate, this stylish apartment oozes character. A stone wall faces into neutral tones and deluxe furnishings, lacing the home with an authentically Italian vibe. Suitable for solo travellers, couples or friend groups, it's a restful home in the heart of Florence.

Such is the proximity to the must-see sights of this flourishing city, you can walk your way through a sightseeing itinerary. Start at the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, just ten minutes away, before setting your sights further afield.

If sightseeing isn't your jam, Florence is home to numerous chic boutiques. Peruse the aisles of authentic shops to immerse your suitcase with an infusion of Italian style. 

Whether you spend your days shopping or sightseeing, make sure to stop off for some sumptuous food along the way. It's almost compulsory to try pizza when in Italy, but there are a myriad of restaurants spanning the globe.

If you don't feel like eating out, you can always rest in the quiet hum of the apartment. Rustle up some fresh food, enjoying each bite whilst a film plays on the TV.

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.

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

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.

The open-plan living space also sleeps two guests on a sofa bed at full capacity. You'll have everything you need here for a comfortable and memorable stay in Florence.

The Heart of Florence

It feels like you can almost touch the Church of Santo Spirito from the windows of this apartment – we love the vistas here. You also get glimpses of the cathedral from the living room (which also sleeps guests seven and eight on a sofa bed). One bedroom is on a mezzanine, the second overlooks the same views while the third has a courtyard outlook. Located in the heart of the vibrant Santo Spirito district, you’ll be just a few steps from the square and the Boboli Gardens, while Florence Cathedral is within walking distance.

The Basilica's Bell

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. 


Brick & Arch

With this apartment, you can reach many of Florence’s key landmarks within a short walk. We’re talking Piazza San Marco, the cathedral, Basilica di San Lorenzo and much more. You’ll also be steps away from the Central Market with its food court and souvenir stalls. The apartment itself, situated in a historic building, has a large living room, which also has a sofa bed. We love the character features, including the fireplace, intricate tiles and ceiling frescoes. Here you can experience Florence like a local.

Florence Like a Local

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

Just over 500 metres from the iconic Ponte Vecchio and the Forte di Belvedere, this apartment has a fantastic address. Also within walking distance are the Basilica of Santa Croce, Palazzo Pitti and Florence Cathedral. You don’t have to go anywhere to admire some art though, as there are beautiful, frescoed ceilings at this historic home. This place is great for families or friends as there are two living rooms, as well as a mezzanine seating area which sleeps two guests on a sofa bed at full capacity. This home is perfect for those seeking history, elegance and comfort in the beating heart of Florence.

Renaissance Radiance

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

In Italian construction, the 'piano nobile' refers to the storey of a building — typically the first — on which the nobility would reside, therefore being designed to get the most favourable living conditions. This apartment in a fifteenth-century building is a prime example of how this looks in practice. High ceilings and large windows (through some of which the Duomo can be spotted) make the interior feel bright and inviting, while being positioned above street level means that it's a little more peaceful than elsewhere in the building. While there are some period features — the fresco ceilings and the imposing oak front door — the apartment has been modernised in the ensuing six hundred years or so. The parquet flooring, marble bathrooms and mid-century style furniture in deep blues and greens are today's emblems of fine taste. When you're ready to go exploring, you don't have far to go — Basilica di San Lorenzo and Riccardi Medici Palace are just across the street, while the Duomo is only five minutes' walk away.

Sixth Sense

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

This chic Florentine apartment drops you within easy reach of many of the city’s iconic landmarks, making it an ideal base for sightseeing. Sleek and stylish, you’ll find everything needed for a comfortable stay, with enough space to spread out and enjoy private time or gather together as a group. With Italian eateries on your doorstep, dining out is a must for a true taste of Florence. And when you’re ready to explore, check out Florence Cathedral or marvel at the love locks on Ponte Vecchio – there’s something for everyone here. 

Florentine Crush

Courtyard

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.

City of Lilies

When we came across this quaint apartment, we did a double-take. While it may be a bit old-school in style, it has lots of charm and comfort for a city stay. Set on the third floor, with a private balcony overlooking the rooftops of Florence and a courtyard that oozes Italian appeal, there's no lack of character here. Located in the historic district, you'll have lots of sights to see within walking distance, too. All in all, for a cosy stay with friends or family, this one ticks a lot of boxes. 

Window to Florence

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.

The Mannerists

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.

Piazza Vista

Ceiling Fans

Nestled in the centre of Florence, this home is ideally suited for those looking to explore renaissance Italy's beating heart. Florence Cathedral is just a two-minute walk, and plenty of other churches, museums, and basilicas are nearby. Almost as if the home intuitively knows how much walking you'll be doing, it provides plenty of comfort – the bedrooms have character and plenty of space. And while the living room won't fit everyone if you're coming with a full complement of guests, having three bathrooms will help avoid morning congestion. 

The Empress' Wings

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.

Aloft in Florence

Looking for a characterful bolthole in the historic heart of Tuscany’s capital? This quintessential Florentine apartment should do nicely, set just two minutes from Piazza Santa Maria Novella and five from the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. While the interiors are utterly charming, a home of this heritage does have its quirks. Expect to climb stairs to reach the third floor and a mezzanine space accessed via a small ladder that is unsuitable for young children. It’s also worth noting there's a double sofa bed here and only room for two around the kitchen table. However, there’s heaps of space to spill out in the main living room with those high ceilings and views of the piazza below.

The Music of Florence 

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

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

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 

In the heart of Florence, this two-storey apartment offers stunning views of the Palazzo Vecchio from the master bedroom. Step into the large living room, and you’ll discover an eclectic mix of old and new – the oil landscape painting behind the flat-screen TV probably sums it up best, but we also love details like the rotary phone and the plush armchairs. In the daytime, you and your friends will explore the historical sights before coming back to enjoy a meal cooked in the modern kitchen at the antique wooden dining table. Head up the glossy black tinted staircase, and you’ll discover a second comfy seating area and the two bedrooms – each packed full of character thanks to artwork and furnishing from different eras. The two bathrooms are a work of art themselves, with bright blue and green mosaic tiles that draw the eye.

Galleria Prestige

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

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.

Monumental Views

One glance at the private balcony and you'll see why this apartment caught our eye. It's the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine in the sunshine, even if the views aren't the most inspiring. Indoors, the bright living area is designed for relaxing, while the kitchen has all the essentials needed to rustle up an Italian feast. Sleeping arrangements are flexible here, too, with a double in the main bedroom, a single trundle in the second, and a sofa bed in the lounge. You will need to hop on the tram to reach the city centre, but it's only a ten-minute ride away.
