Perched on the banks of the river Arno, this Florentine home is a masterclass in old-world elegance – painted ceilings, frescoed walls, glittering chandeliers, and a grand piano, alongside striking pieces of contemporary art. Sunlight pours in through tall windows, and a private garden makes the perfect spot for evening aperitivi or dinner under the stars. And while it feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of the centre, most of the city's iconic sights are within walking distance, with both the Uffizi and the Ponte Vecchio reachable in under twenty minutes.

Tucked inside the thirteenth century boulevard that marks out the oldest part of Florence, this neighbourhood is on the western edge of Florence’s historic centre. The Piazza Santa Maria Novella, with its Gothic church and museum, is the centrepiece, and while the area immediately surrounding the train station is fairly gritty, it’s a convenient spot for those just passing through.
