Minutes south of the River Arno, this functional Florentine apartment is a solid option for families looking to explore the storied city. While it lacks a traditional living area – the sofa bed is found in an alcove beside the bathroom – there's still plenty of space to get settled, including a dining area for socialising and a good size master bedroom. You'll also be able to enjoy an espresso out on the balcony, before heading out to look around the city – Boboli Gardens and Ponte Vecchio can both be reached in fifteen minutes on foot, while the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is only twenty minutes north.

About Pitti
Unsurprisingly, Pitti stretches from the Palazzo Pitti – a Renaissance palace housing a vast European art collection – up to the river. Historically a working-class neighbourhood, today it’s full of boutique and artisan shops, leftovers from the tradesmen who used to inhabit the streets.
