Step back in time when you stay at this traditional home, just a ten-minute walk from central Florence. The apartment has retained its original features – think wood-beamed ceilings and exposed brick walls – while being tastefully adapted to modern living. Get set for a comfortable and characterful time in the Tuscan capital. The decor here is a medley of quirky antique-feel pieces and contemporary furnishings. Statement sinks and washed timber finishes bring a rustic feel to the space – you could almost imagine you're living in a remote Italian village. Yet the apartment is a short stroll from Florence's most-loved sights, from the Palazzo Pitti (fifteen minutes away) to the Basilica di Santa Croce – a gentle ten-minute hop across the river. Spend the day sightseeing then return home for a late-night aperitif in the snug living room.

Home truths

    Though there's enough bed space for four people here (with two sleeping on the sofa bed), we'd recommend a maximum guest count of two

    You will need to climb stairs to reach this apartment, so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility

    Some bathroom basics are included to get you started but you may want to bring your own

    The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask
