What better way to enjoy a stay in Florence than staying in a historic palazzo built for a noble family. Once the Branchi di Leonbianco’s administration building, this place still holds the charm of 19th century Florence within its walls. Think faded fresco ceilings and a rich palette of midnight and taupe. This studio apartment may be small, but it’s undeniably plush, with tufted velvet chairs at the table for two, and an inviting sofa for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The kitchenette in raven-black has everything you need to whip up a quick meal.

But there are plenty of restaurants, cafés and bars in the streets around you. You’re in the heart of Florence here, a stone’s throw from the museums of Piazza San Marco and the world-famous  Accademia Gallery. A twelve-minute walk sees you in the beating historic heart of Florence, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.

You’re in the centre of all things cultural and Florentine at this bijou apartment. It’s less than a ten-minute walk to the Galleria Accademia and museums of San Marco, and a fifteen-minute stroll sees you in the beating heart of the city – the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. In eight minutes you can be stocking up on fresh, local produce at Florence’s Central Market to take back to your cute little apartment.

The full kitchen has everything you need to whip up breakfast, lunch and dinner and an island in the centre provides plenty of prep space. The atmosphere inside feels almost church-like, with vaulted ceilings, smooth walls and detailed cornicing a la the 18th century. Faded frescos add to the old-world theme, but the furniture is distinctly 21st-century comfort. It’s the ideal spot for a historic city break.

A cosy apartment set right in the centre of historic Florence, this place is perfect for city explorers anxious to tour the many sights and sounds of this popular hotspot. In the most idyllic location, this home is situated just a few steps from Piazza San Marco, one of Florence’s most iconic landmarks, as well as a medley of authentic Italian restaurants. So, whether you’ve got a busy itinerary of sightseeing or you’re simply searching for the best Tagliatelle Funghi Porcini e Tartufo that Florence has to offer, this place has got you covered.

Inside, the decor is warm and cosy, creating a comfortable base to retreat to after an exciting day of exploring. Studded with retro appeal, the green, velvet–cushioned dining chairs serve the ideal spot to sip your morning coffee, meanwhile the patterned kitchen and bathroom tiles add a touch of character to the place. Knitted throws blanket the crisp white bed sheets and bold, abstract artworks illuminate the walls. We particularly love the chaise lounge. An antique that instantly draws the eye, this piece pays homage to Florence’s rich history. 


Take Me To The Chaise

This elegant apartment is the perfect place to stay in Florence. It’s stylish yet comfortable, housed in a stately building just outside of the historic centre of the city. The apartment has been recently renovated – it’s a beautiful home from home with a grandeur that’s fitting for a city as stunning as Firenze. 

The vaulted ceilings with frescoes will make you feel as though you’re staying in one of the grand palazzos of days gone by. Huge windows keep the apartment bright and airy, and modern furnishings mean that although it feels historic, everything you need is right at your fingertips. 

In the morning, stroll eight minutes to Giardino della Fortezza to begin your day with a moment of calm. Sip coffee and eat a pastry or two while you plan how you’ll spend your stay. Perhaps you’ll walk first to the Duomo to admire the architecture of the cathedral – it takes fourteen minutes. In the afternoon, after you’ve taken in a museum or a gallery, you might like to hop in a cab to Piazzale Michelangelo. It takes fifteen minutes to get arguably the best view of the city. 

Head back to the apartment to sip a glass of Chianti and relax. Sink into the sofa as you deliberate dinner – will it be pizza or pasta?

Nice to haves

Set in a historic building (which used to be the Habsburg embassy in the nineteenth century), Eyes To The Sky makes an impression from very early on. It’s ridiculously grand, with double-height, frescoed ceilings, and antique furniture (along with a few modern, designer additions). It’s just around the corner from Piazza della Libertà, so it’s just away from the most crowded parts of the centre, but even walking to the Ponte Vecchio doesn’t take more than twenty minutes.


Eyes To The Sky

Meanwhile, you'll have the city's iconic Renaissance art museums, such as The Galleria dell'Accademia only a two-minute walk from your front door.

The Florence Effect 

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.

Delivering knockout vistas of the Florentine hills from a private suntrap terrace and set within easy walking distance of the city’s must-sees, it’s no surprise this home caught our eye. By inner-city Florence standards, this apartment set over two floors is palatial. There’s a banquet-worthy dining room and a well-equipped Italian-style kitchen. Though, with countless trattorias just a stroll away, we suspect you’ll be eating out a lot. It’s worth noting, at full occupancy, the last two guests will have to make do with a single bed and pull-out bed in the cosy fourth bedroom. Fine for a short stay or children sharing – but it might not float everyone’s boat.
