Waking up to views of the Duomo of Florence is a scene you’ll never tire of at this exquisite apartment, tucked away in the city's historic centre within a small cluster of courtyard apartments. Housed in a palazzo estate dating back to the 15th-century, this place has Italian charm and elegance on tap. Inside, the former annex to the main house still retains its ornate porticos and lofty arched ceilings, while everywhere else has been reimagined for modern living. Kickstart your mornings rustling up breakfast in the slick, matt black kitchen – best served with the French doors open so you can savour the views of the Duomo from the dining table. Then pad outside to the vast suntrap courtyard garden you’ll share with just six other apartments to hatch plans for the day ahead over that second coffee (the apartment’s complimentary freshly grounded beans can help with that). When it’s time to delve into Florence’s wander-worthy streets, you couldn’t dream up a better setting. Discover renaissance delights at every turn, starting just around the corner at the emblematic Duomo (a five-minute stroll). When thoughts turn to food (and a glass of something crisp), dive into the countless trattorias and buzzy bars dotted around the streets to feast on Tuscan classic cuisine. Or let the concierge take the reins and book an Italian experience unique to you – the visit to the wine cellars in Chianti and Tuscan cooking lesson gets our vote.
