Surrounded by some of Europe's most celebrated art and architecture, this well-appointed flat enjoys a plum Florentine location. You'll need to climb to the second floor yourself, but upon arrival you'll be met with a good sized living room, with its own dining table and kitchenette which could be better equipped. The two double bedrooms are a little sparse but offer plenty of room to spread out, with two bathrooms (one en-suite) available to offset any morning queues. From the home, you'll be able to walk to some of Florence's most famous attractions in minutes, with Piazza del Duomo to the north and Boboli Gardens to the south crossing the Arno via Ponte Vecchio.
