This apartment caught our eye with its rooftop terrace – a rare treat in this central neighbourhood. Located on the fourth floor (with no lift access), you can enjoy incredible views across the rooftops of Florence. At full occupancy two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the bedroom, but this is a handy option for families travelling with kids. You’ll also be perfectly placed for adventures across the city with both Palazzo Pitti and the Ponte Vecchio within easy walking distance.
