This colourful penthouse lies in the heart of Florence. There's no lift here so you'll need to climb a lot of stairs, but the views of the Duomo are gorgeous. You can expect some outside noise due to the central location, but this is easily remedied with earplugs. The double sofa bed in the living room makes this home ideal whether you're travelling as family, friends, or a couple. The kitchen is on the smaller side, but you'll have plenty of Florence's fantastic restaurants right on your doorstep. Parking here will be tricky, but within walking distance, you'll find hotspots like the Piazza della Signoria and the Basilica di Santa Maria Novella.

About Accademia
With the Piazza San Marco at its heart, this area is a hotspot for cultural sights. It’s packed with museums, churches, squares, and historic buildings that can keep you occupied for days on end. This bundle of streets holds some of the greatest artistic heritage in Europe – the Accademia Gallery houses the original David by Michelangelo, and many of the famous Italian painters were members of the Florence Academy...
