Bright and homely, this charming Florentine apartment is perfect for couples or a small family on a getaway in the city. There’s no lift here, as expected in a beautiful Liberty-style building, so you’ll need to climb stairs to reach the home. Still, it’s a small price to pay for the location. We love the second bedroom, accessed via a spiral staircase and oozing tranquillity – just watch your head on those sloping ceilings and beams. And when you’re ready to explore, many major sightseeing spots are within walking distance, while the Belfiore tram stop is nearby for jaunts further afield.

Offering up unforgettable views of the historic Palazzo Vecchio right outside your window, there's no mistaking the location of this Florence stunner. Hit the buzzy streets below to discover all the must-see sights, with countless bars and restaurants to dive into along the way. Inside the home, the interiors are as elegant as they come, and the dining area is a lovely spot to take in the bustle of the pedestrianised piazza below. However, you needn't worry about street noise when it's time to lay your head. The bedroom is set back from the square, so it feels surprisingly quiet.

Walk to the Uffizi Gallery in a mere two minutes and admire the masterpieces when you stay at this cosy home. It’s the same distance to the beautiful Piazza della Signoria and Palazzo Vecchio, while the medieval splendour of the Ponte Vecchio is four minutes on foot. The stunning Duomo, on the other hand, is an eight-minute stroll. Or let your hosts arrange a Chianti wine tasting trip – they can also organise a personalised tasting itinerary where you can choose up to five glasses from the best Italian labels – well, that’s us sold.

Back at this apartment, have a rest after all that sightseeing (or wine tasting) in the pretty bedroom with its calming grey hues and whitewashed beams. Later whip up a tagliatelle funghi porcini e tartufo in the modern kitchen and enjoy it with your favourite wine. This home is an ideal Florence bolthole for a couple or solo traveller.

Explore Florence on foot from this dapper apartment. Boasting classical design features such as exposed beams and wood panelling, together with modern facilities and contemporary décor, this stylish flat truly has it all. It’s also perfectly located in the heart of Florence city centre, close to many of the sightseeing spots and artistic monuments that make this arty city so popular.

Begin blissful days by cooking up an Italian breakfast of cappuccino and ricotta pancakes in your fully-equipped kitchen. Dine together around your cute dining setup while you discuss the daily itinerary. When you want to venture out, Giardino di San Clemente park and gardens are based just a stone’s throw from your home, or visit the 15th century Riccardi Medici Palace, designed by Michelozzo, and stand in awe of its stunning design.

After you’ve explored the city, return to your classy and convenient dwelling for an evening of chilling on the sofa with a movie, or cosying up on your mezzanine lounge area with a good book.

In the historic San Lorenzo district, this cosy apartment is a great choice for work trips or weekend breaks in the city. You can expect to hear some outside noise due to the central location, and we recommend packing light as storage and space are tight. The kitchenette is small with a stove but no oven, but you'll have your pick of Florence's restaurants right on your doorstep. Public transport is close by for traversing the city, and famous hotspots like the Basilica di Santa Maria Novella and Piazza San Lorenzo are just minutes away on foot.

Take things easy on one of two gorgeous balconies belonging to this dream of an apartment a short walk from central Florence. With views across the rooftops to the green hills, it's just about 50 metres from Ponte Viejo and Piazza Pitti.

A romantic retreat for two at the top of a traditional building, it's bright, neatly laid out and super comfortable. In the summer months, all you'll need is the small but practical kitchen, the outdoor dining table – shaded from the sun with an awning – and the squashy outdoor corner sofa. Grab some fresh bread, olives and a glass of something chilled, and watch the sun go down over this historic city.

Couples seeking a rosy getaway in the romantic city of Florence – this is the home for you. Sitting in a city-centre building dating back to 1470, the elegant apartment boasts 180-degree views of the historic city. Terracotta-tiled floors and wood-beamed ceilings bring a traditional feel – while the one-room space is compact in size, it's packed with character.

You can see the iconic dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore without leaving your apartment. Wake up, roll open your blinds and take in the unbeatable vista as you enjoy a leisurely breakfast. With windows on both ends of the room, sunlight streams and creates a bright, feel-good ambience.

If you want to view the Cathedral up close, you'll only have to walk twelve minutes to reach its entrance. Florence's best sights are just moments away from here, including the iconic Uffizi Gallery and the Basilica di Santa Croce di Firenze. End your evening with a riverside meal before heading home to recharge for another action-packed day.

If you're looking for a central Florentine home that oozes Italian charm, this is it. And as a bonus, it boasts uninterrupted views of the famous Pitti Palace, sitting directly across from the magnificent structure. This characterful abode has been masterfully restored, seamlessly marrying original features with design-led touches. Shuttered windows, hardwood floors and whitewashed ceiling beams create an elegant aesthetic, complemented with tasteful antiques and plush soft furnishings.

Whichever double bedroom you choose, you'll be given the premium treatment. Comfort has been given the top priority here, followed closely by the restful colour scheme of off-white, soft greys and jewel-toned accents. We think the deep teal wallpaper adds a boutique feel to the space.

From this location, you won't struggle to tick Florence's must-see sights off your itinerary. Piazza della Signoria, considered the city's heart, is just a short hop across the river, while the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fior is just a thirteen-minute walk away. Immediately on your doorstep, an array of buzzy bars and traditional restaurants invites you to savour the very best of local cuisine. We'd suggest a light breakfast so you can load up on the pasta and pizza come dinnertime.

Pitti Pad

Not many homes let you go sightseeing without even leaving the living room, but this apartment in the heart of Florence does – throw open the window and you're greeted by the sight of the 14th-century Orsanmichele's church. Your living quarters aren't quite as old, but there are a couple of more traditional features – including, look up, the patterned ceiling. A recent renovation has tastefully incorporated more contemporary aspects into the interior design and 21st-century travellers will find nothing to sniff at, especially when the fantastic central location is taken into consideration.

A Sprinkle of Magic

Elegance meets comfort at this apartment in the heart of Florence. There are shops, restaurants, bars and gelaterias on your doorstep and the striking facade of the city’s famous Duomo is just a short stroll away. It’s on the second floor of a historic building, so you’ll need to be ok with a few steps to the entrance, but once inside you can forget about the rush of the city. The plush dining table is big enough for the whole group and traditional touches like the coffered wood ceiling and French-style windows keep things feeling typically Tuscan.

Garden

Located in a 19th-century building next to Piazza d'Azeglio, this apartment is a great option for an inspiring Italian adventure. Outside, you can stroll to Santa Croce in just ten minutes, and you’ll find the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio are less than a twenty-minute walk away. Back at home, you can relax with aperitifs on the private patio. It’s worth noting the living room and kitchen are small and groups of six may find it a bit of a squeeze. That being said, it’s ideal for families and couples looking for comfort and simplicity in a central location.

One glance at the private balcony and you'll see why this apartment caught our eye. It's the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine in the sunshine, even if the views aren't the most inspiring. Indoors, the bright living area is designed for relaxing, while the kitchen has all the essentials needed to rustle up an Italian feast. Sleeping arrangements are flexible here, too, with a double in the main bedroom, a single trundle in the second, and a sofa bed in the lounge. You will need to hop on the tram to reach the city centre, but it's only a ten-minute ride away.
