A short stroll from the museums of Piazza San Marco and the famous Accademia Gallery, packed with Renaissance artworks, this chi chi little apartment has you in the heart of Florence. It’s housed in a former Palazzo itself, once the noble family of Branchi di Leonbianco’s administration building. You can still see evidence of the building’s history throughout. There are also plenty of modern nods to nobility – silk curtains, marble bathrooms and a rich palette of chocolate and teal. Velvet chairs make for a lavish dining space and the kitchenette has everything you need to whip up a quick meal. Though you may never need it with espresso bars, wine bars and award-winning restaurants all on your doorstep. It’s a ten-minute walk to the beating heart of Florence, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. From here you can head to the Ufizzi and Ponte Vecchio. The options are endless.

Home truths

    At capacity, two guests will be on the sofa bed in the living room

    The kitchenette has a microwave and hob but not a full oven

    This apartment is in a historic building on the second floor, so you'll have to climb some steps to reach it

    There is no parking with this apartment but you're in the heart of Florence with traffic restrictions anyway, so having a car is more of a hindrance
