Visiting Florence is always a good idea, and staying in this historic palazzo makes it all the more memorable. You’ll be in an incredible location, between the iconic Ponte Vecchio and  Ponte Santa Trinita – you can admire the four seasons statues from the living room windows. This home comprises two suites with bedrooms at mezzanine level above the living spaces, and a third bedroom. There’s plenty of space – you can unwind here in between exploring Florence. 

Between the Bridges

Situated just a five-minute walk from the famed Duomo in the heart of Florence, this traditional Italian loft with views of Brunelleschi’s Cupola and Giotto’s Bell Tower offers an aura of true historic wonder. While the living area has limited space, the exposed timber ceilings, large windows, and modern fixtures provide a balance of traditional style with modernity and ease. While the nearby restaurants and galleries are sure to take up most of your time, the fully equipped kitchen and en-suite master bedroom will help ensure a sense of autonomy and privacy throughout your stay.

Single-Level Home

Located in one of the most magical parts of Florence right by the Arno, this apartment opens its doors to a stylish Italian getaway. The owners have crafted a calm city sanctuary with space to stretch out, unwind or catch up on work. We love the clean lines, neutral tones, and pops of colour – it all feels very contemporary and sophisticated. Outside, private parking is a big perk if you're travelling by car. You can also stroll to restaurants, cafes, and local farmers' markets. Keen to visit the landmarks? It’s just a twenty-minute walk to iconic sights like Florence Cathedral as well as museums.

With direct views of the Mercato Centrale – Florence’s foodie paradise – from not just one, but two terraces, this apartment is perfect for those who prefer to spend their time al fresco. You’ll find a dining table perfect for sharing a platter of the finest Tuscan delicacies and a seating area ready for bottles of bubbly at sunset. When it’s time to head indoors, the clean, modern spaces will make you feel right at home. Begin days with a pep in your step thanks to the glossy, fire engine red kitchen and look forward to curling up on the snug sofa during lulls in your itinerary. Situated in the quintessentially Florentine San Lorenzo neighbourhood, you’re mere footsteps from no-frills trattorie and grand ristorante dining rooms. Less than a ten-minute walk places you at the feet of Michelangelo’s David in the Accademia Gallery, while a mere five-minute stroll will see you arrive at the red-domed Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.

Self Check-in / Check-out

Found in the breathtaking city of Florence, this home also captures beauty in an understated way. With exposed beams, a neutral colour palette that works perfectly alongside the gold elements, and a touch of rustic, this home feels welcoming and cosy. 

Spend evenings cooking fresh pasta in the open kitchen and dining space as you drink wine and talk about everything you got up to during the day. This might include little more than reading Dante Alighieri's poetry, but with so much to do on your doorstep, we encourage you to at least try to leave the comforts of this home behind. 

Take a walk through the Boboli Gardens – only ten minutes away – or see some of the most outstanding collections of ancient sculptures and paintings at the Uffizi Gallery. Find the majestic Church of Santa Maria del Carmine in the Piazza del Carmine three minutes away, and find a cafe for a midday coffee top-up. 

Eat as much gelato, pizza, pasta and gnocchi as you can manage before coming back for a bit of R&R.

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.

Florentine Hills

Desk / Workplace

If you've perfected your dream Florentine sightseeing list, then this apartment is the place for you. Located in the San Frediano neighborhood, just a stone's throw away from many of the city's most famous landmarks, it's a wonderful spot to kick back and relax between your adventures. 

Step inside, and you'll find a bright and airy space that invites you to get comfortable. There are traditional details, like the ceiling beams and exposed wood doorframes, but the owner has added plenty of modern touches too. If you need to catch up on work, there's a gorgeous antique desk where you can use your laptop. And, budding chefs can practice their favourite Italian dishes in the smart kitchen, before serving their culinary creations at the glass dining table. 

If you'd prefer to eat out, then there are plenty of options in the surrounding streets, serving Tuscan classics in family-run restaurants. Art lovers will be delighted that the world-famous Uffizi Gallery is just a twelve-minute stroll away, and you can wander over to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in fifteen minutes. The Palazzo Pitti is close too – a nine-minute walk will bring you to the palace and the stunning Boboli Gardens behind it. 

Fabulous In Florence

Rain Shower

Safe

Minimal designs, contemporary fittings and an oh-so-central location in the heart of Florence's San Marco district make this home a prime spot for a short stay in the Tuscan capital. With piazza del Duomo just a four-minute stroll away, visit the iconic Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore with ease and convenience. 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. 

Following a fun-filled day of taking in Florence's enchanting history, culture, artworks and food and drink scene – head back to the apartment to catch some respite. Relaxing here is just as easy as exploring as you'll find plenty of space for the whole group to relax. Sprawl across the couch and pour yourselves a glass of locally sourced wine at the dining area or why not try your hand at cooking up some local Tuscan delights? The comfortable bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, invite you to refresh and re-energise for the next day's adventures in gorgeous Florence.

Italian Musing

Bathrobes

Cafetiere

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.

Early / Late Check-Out Available

Close to many of Florence's must-see landmarks, this apartment is a convenient base for friends and families. It's just a twenty-minute stroll from the red-domed Duomo, while a bevvy of local trattorias and other eateries are a short walk away. Back home, you'll find three balconies, each offering a sweet spot for morning coffees and alfresco aperitifs. The pared-back living area, complete with a sleek kitchen and Tuscan photographs, invites you to whip up your own version of Italian classics. There's also a shared laundry room here. Just keep in mind that two guests will sleep on sofa beds, making this best suited for shorter stays.

Florentine Gem

Admire the vistas of the Arno River and the Ponte Vecchio from this beautiful, newly renovated apartment. It's the perfect choice for a group of friends or family looking for a fabulous location in the heart of the city. Located in an elegant building, this home's large and bright living room is a lovely place to relax in. Rustle up a papardelle al cinghiale in the modern kitchen, or if you prefer to eat out, there are plenty of sublime restaurants within walking distance. 

If you want to visit some of Florence's best-loved attractions, you're in luck. Palazzo Vecchio is a four-minute stroll, while the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is an eight-minute walk. Or see the magnificent Ponte Vecchio more up close – it's a ten-second hop and a skip, while Palazzo Pitti, one of Florence's largest architectural monuments, is a six-minute saunter away. With such incredible views and Florence on its doorstep, this home is a real find.


Love Can Build A Bridge

Crossed Paths is right in the middle of the city – at one end of the street is Santa Maria Novella, at the other the river. It’s a great position to be in, and it feels like that’s informed some of the interiors. They’re kept in fantastic condition, but the decoration feels a little impersonal, and you’d struggle to cook a dinner party in that kitchen. Still, you aren’t exactly short of things to do and places to eat in the area. 


Crossed Paths

Home Cinema Setup

From its exposed brick walls to its beamed ceilings and arched windows, this rustic-meets-modern apartment is a slice of Florentine traditionalism, given a swish 21st-century sparkle. 
 
The open-plan main room is the home’s sociable heart, with plump sofas congregated around a large screen for cosy movie nights over a bottle of Italian wine and an elegant dining space that beckons home-cooked feasts when you’re not out sampling the local trattorias. We love the kitchen’s forest green cabinetry and marble countertops, while the bedroom – a haven of brick and beams – offers a dreamy setting for a blissful night’s sleep. Factor in the large bathroom with a dual rainfall shower, and you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing, pampered stay 
 
And when it comes to exploring, you’re in a prime sightseeing spot with Ponte Vecchio a two-minute walk, the Pitti Palace a three-minute stroll and the Uffizi Gallery six minutes away on foot, just over the Arno. With the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore also just a ten-minute walk and Piazza della Signoria eight minutes on foot from your door, you’ve got the best of the city’s history and culture within easy reach. 


Brick & Arch

Fireplace

Private Entrance

Set within the atmospheric streets of the San Ambrogio district, this traditional Florentine apartment invites you to experience the immersive beauty of the city.  

Originally built in the late 19th century, the owners have sensitively restored this space into a private sanctuary – a quiet place to relax, unwind and savour the magic of Italian living. And stepping inside, you’ll find every detail sings with the artistic depth of Florence. From the elegant styling and antique furnishings to the gentle lighting, there’s a welcoming quality to this home that makes you want to settle in and stay. 

You’ll find the sitting room lends itself perfectly to relaxing mornings with a coffee and later with golden-hour aperitifs, while the bedrooms provide a wonderful sense of calm. And to ensure you experience the height of rejuvenation, the larger bathroom includes a hot tub. 

Outside, it’s just a ten–minute stroll to Piazza di Santa Croce and the Basilica while Ponte Vecchio is a twenty-minute walk away. And for an authentic taste of Florence, you’ll find a wonderful local market located next to this home.

The Artist's Collection

Smart TV

This apartment is a great base for a family or a group of friends visiting Florence. Situated close to all the historical sights, you can walk to landmarks like the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella, while good public transport connections mean that you can easily reach other parts of the city, too. With comfy bedrooms and plenty of space for dining, not to mention the small private balcony, this place has everything to make your stay here an enjoyable one. There's even a desk if you need to catch up on work. And while the kitchen is on the smaller side (though still well-equipped), you'll find an array of delicious eateries a short stroll away.

The Symmetry

Around the corner from Ponte Santa Trinità, Chimney Sweep is in a great location for seeing the centre of Florence. Despite being set over three levels, it’s quite small, but while the kitchen is a little underwhelming, the rest of the house feels pleasantly cosy. Unusually, one of our favourite parts of the home is the single room. What used to be an enormous stone fireplace has been converted into a writing nook, and it feels like a wonderful place to set up shop with a laptop and get to work on your novel.


Chimney Sweep

Surrounded by historic buildings and just a stone’s throw from one of the city’s most beautiful basilicas, this apartment in Santa Croce puts you in an ideal position to experience the best of Florence’s iconic sights.
 
Pared-back yet boasting plenty of Old World charm with its beamed ceilings and wood floors, this home has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Kick back on the sofa with a glass of locally-bought Italian wine or sit down to a meal at the dining table as the light pours in through the tall windows. The two bedrooms – one of which is on the mezzanine floor – are stylishly minimalist offering the perfect canvas for a restful night’s sleep and leaving you rested and ready for another exciting day of sightseeing. 
 
Speaking of exploring, you’ve got plenty to see within easy walking distance, including the Basilica of Santa Croce (four minutes), Piazza della Signoria (ten minutes), the Uffizi Gallery (also ten minutes) and the famous Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (fifteen minutes). 


Portamento

Snug and intimate, this stylish apartment oozes character. A stone wall faces into neutral tones and deluxe furnishings, lacing the home with an authentically Italian vibe. Suitable for solo travellers, couples or friend groups, it's a restful home in the heart of Florence.

Such is the proximity to the must-see sights of this flourishing city, you can walk your way through a sightseeing itinerary. Start at the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, just ten minutes away, before setting your sights further afield.

If sightseeing isn't your jam, Florence is home to numerous chic boutiques. Peruse the aisles of authentic shops to immerse your suitcase with an infusion of Italian style. 

Whether you spend your days shopping or sightseeing, make sure to stop off for some sumptuous food along the way. It's almost compulsory to try pizza when in Italy, but there are a myriad of restaurants spanning the globe.

If you don't feel like eating out, you can always rest in the quiet hum of the apartment. Rustle up some fresh food, enjoying each bite whilst a film plays on the TV. 

Pulling The Heart Strings 

This home's location is the epitome of Renaissance grandeur. You'll find it perched in Pitti Square, just steps from the vast Renaissance marvel of the Pitti Palace, where you'll find an array of art galleries and museums. Despite its central location, nestled in Florence's historic centre, this home is delightfully peaceful, perched up high on the fourth floor and tucked away from the hustle and bustle.

The interior is stylish and inviting, boasting lofty beamed ceilings and hardwood floors. Large windows usher in plenty of light while offering picturesque rooftop views. We especially love the open-plan living space, cloaked in a calming shade of baby blue and exuding an ambience of calm. After a restful slumber, enjoy slow mornings here, sipping espresso on the plush sofas and tucking into breakfast at the dining table before slipping out to explore. Stroll through the cobbled streets, passing through the shop-lined Ponte Vecchio and across the river to marvel at Centro Storico's array of medieval churches and cathedrals, including the red-tiled Duomo, thirteen minutes from your doorstep on foot.

What a Pitti

Situated in the heart of Florence, with the iconic Ponte Vecchio only a stone’s throw away, this home gives you access to some of the capital’s best sights. See the city’s love of art in renaissance galleries and museums within walking distance, and don’t miss the touristy bits like the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and Piazzale Michelangelo – more of a walk, but worth the views. The home, on the sixth floor with a working elevator – rare in Florence – might not be revolutionary, and the kitchen is small, but it is comfortable, and the view of the river and Duomo is a nice touch.

Ode to Santa Maria

Free Parking

Immerse yourself in all that the magical city of Florence has to offer with a stay at this charming apartment situated right at the heart of the old town, just steps away from the iconic Duomo. Located in a historic building, this place retains all of its vintage charm while at the same time boasting modern comforts and luxury to make your holiday extra restful. 

Enter through the front door to be greeted by a bright living space, with floods of natural light gently streaming in through the large windows. We love the high ceilings with their white wooden beams – what could be more authentically Florentine than that? You’ll find plenty of room to kick off your shoes and relax on the comfy sofa which at night can be pulled out to serve as a double bed. The kitchenette may be small in scale but it has all you need to whip up a quick and delicious supper or breakfast, which you can then enjoy with your loved ones at the elegant dining table by the window. 

When you also consider the plush and luxurious bedrooms, with their soft beds and lovely pale tones, as well as the spa-like ambience of the modern bathrooms, you know that you have all you need to have a relaxing stay. 

Start your day with a fresh cup of Italian coffee before heading out to discover the many gems of Florence – aside from the proximity to the Duomo you’ll also be a three-minute walk away from the Bargello Museum, which houses many of Michelangelo's masterpieces. 

The Green Dome 

Just footsteps from the shop-lined medieval Ponte Vecchio Bridge, this apartment sits on the banks of the River Arno. If you’re not visiting the riverside restaurants or ancient jewellery shops of the bridge on your doorstep, make the two-minute walk to the Ufizzi Gallery to discover the world-famous Renaissance art inside. 

Inside, it’s a modern haven of calm, despite the super central location. Wooden floors complement pristine white walls in the open-plan living area. Sun-filled breakfasts can be taken at the dining table by the big window and the kitchen is tucked away in a separate room with an additional dining table. The little terracotta-tiled balcony is a real bonus, with its bistro table set looking out over the internal courtyard.  

The Artist's Palette

Juicer

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.

Florian's Lullaby

Private Parking

Valet Parking

Pietraforte combines an unbeatably central location with an atmosphere of calm. We blame the vertical garden that adds even lots of light and a touch of green – we didn't feel like we were only a few minutes away from Palazzo Vecchio. There are lots of hangout spots in this home, which makes it a good choice for a group of friends who need autonomy, but we can easily see a family with older children enjoying the space as well. The master bedroom on the mezzanine needs an honorary mention for sleek design, especially the chic self-standing bath.

Pietraforte

Heated Towel Rail

This elegant apartment gives you a taste of the Florence of the past. The building is 800 years old and full of charm – though, of course, a home of that age will show some signs of wear and tear. We love the wooden floors and the ceiling beams, but the real star of this home is its location. Staying here, you’re based in a quiet neighbourhood that’s close to the top sights of the city. You need only walk six minutes to reach the Uffizi and ten minutes to the Duomo. 

The Art of Florence

This elegant apartment boasts an enviable location just 400 metres from Piazza del Duomo. Best of all, you can admire stunning views of the Duomo without even leaving the apartment. In addition to offering views of one of Florence’s most iconic sights, this apartment is stylish and attractive. It’s bright and welcoming and is equipped with everything you might need for your city break – though some guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed. Still, for such a comfortable home-from-home and this unbeatable location, that’s an easy sacrifice to make. 

Duomo Secrets

Patio / Terrace

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. 


The Florentine Light

Umbrellas

Ideally located in Florence’s historic centre, this comfortably grand apartment puts you in a prime position to explore the best of the city’s historic hotspots. 

There’s a definite air of Old World elegance here, with the large living area boasting tall beamed ceilings and a decorative hearth that recalls the building’s rich history. Terracotta tiled floors add to the traditional Italian charm, and the contemporary decor fits seamlessly with its surroundings, creating the perfect balance of rustic and modern. 

Gather together for sociable breakfasts in the dining room as you peruse the books here over an espresso and spend evenings curled up on the sofas in conversation over a glass of Italian wine. At night, the pared-back bedroom is ready to ease you into a dreamy night’s slumber, certain to leave you rested and raring to go for another day of Florentine adventure. 

Speaking of exploring, you’ve got a wealth of culture on your doorstep, including Palazzo Strozzi (130 metres away), Palazzo Vecchio (400 metres away), Ponte Vecchio (also 400 metres away), the Uffizi Gallery (500 metres away) and the stunning Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (550 metres away). 

Il Bibliofilo

Located in the centre of Florence, one of the artistic capitals of the world, this bright and modern design places you within minutes of famous sites like the Duomo, Accademia Gallery, and Medici Palace. The combined living and dining room features a kitchenette and ample windows, allowing you to enjoy a home-cooked meal while taking in views of the Medici Chapels. Though the décor is quite minimalist, we believe this centrally located apartment makes the perfect base for a couple looking to make the most of the city’s museums, restaurants, and bars.

The Medici Mix

Right above Florence's Teatro Verdi, this two-bedroom apartment is ideal for families and friends, with a sofa bed in the living room for an extra two guests. The gorgeous art of famous works like Michelangelo's David above the beds really make this home stand out, and while you can expect some outside noise here due to the location, we think it's more than worth it. You'll be just steps from attractions like the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, as well as plenty of shops and restaurants for stocking up on essentials and trying the local cuisine.

Florence's Gate

Under the soft gaze of Florence’s historic buildings and surrounded by olive trees, this home feels like a calm oasis in the heart of the city. It’s a wonderful setting for friends and families to relax, whilst also enjoying the close proximity to the iconic sights and monuments.  

Stepping inside, you’ll want to pause and savour the unique presence of this apartment – it’s a traditional space filled with personal details that add warmth and character. And whether you’re preparing drinks in the kitchen, enjoying the warm breeze on the terrace or gathering around the table, this home is designed to enjoy the beauty of Italian living. 

Outside, you can wander through the Piazza d’Azeglio and on through the majestic city streets to the Cathedral of Santa Maria – only a twenty–minute walk away. You’ll also find the beautiful market of Sant’Ambrogio is just a five–minute walk from this home – this is a wonderful spot to mingle with locals and sample traditional delicacies. 

The Celestina  

Delivering knockout vistas of Florence's rooftops and the mighty Duomo from nearly every room, we've fallen hard for this central bolthole. Each light-filled bedroom is as elegant as the next, though they are short on floor and storage space, so we recommend packing lightly. It's also worth noting at full occupancy, it could be a squeeze to all kick back on the sofa, and while the kitchen is well-equipped, it's short on prepping space. It's the perfect excuse to eat out instead, and luckily, you're an olive stone's throw from countless traditional trattorias for all the Tuscan classics.

Monumental Views

Electricity Adaptors

Apex has so many things going for it that focussing on the specifics seems unfair. Needless to say that everything in the flat is of the highest quality, whether that’s the carrara marble in the bathroom, or the four-poster bed. In fact it’s the bedrooms (or three of them anyway) that make the biggest impression. They’re what you might imagine from a seventeenth-century noble mansion, and while obviously all these things are personal preferences, they make for a seriously good night’s sleep.


Apex

Set over three floors of a medieval tower, this characterful apartment is a bit of a climb, but trust us, it's worth it. With its tiled floors, antique furniture and stone walls, there's plenty of rustic charm on offer. But head on up the spiral staircase to the top-floor lounge, and you'll be blown away by the panoramic views. From up here, the entire city is stretched out before you. Admire the iconic red dome of the Duomo, watch the sunset over the Palazzo Vecchio and spot the spires of the Basilica of Santa Croce. Day or night, the sweeping scenes are some of the best in Florence, and they're entirely your own. Just grab a glass of wine and take it all in from the cosy sofa. Downstairs, there's a quaint dine-in kitchen, well-equipped for rustling up an Italian feast. And when you're ready to venture out and explore the famous sights for yourself, most monuments and museums are only a ten-minute walk away.

Duomo Vistas

Gaze out at the iconic domed cathedral from the comfort of this spectacular city-centre apartment. Set within an eye-catching period building, complete with imposing wooden double doors, along the rather lovely Via dei Servi, which connects the Piazza del Duomo and the Piazza della Santissima Annunziata. 

This narrow street is lined with a wide array of shops, charming cafes, and traditional restaurants, which should be your first port of call when you get the urge to head out and explore the city. For a closer look at the duomo, you need only walk a couple of minutes to the bustling piazza that surrounds it. Wandering a little over 100m in the opposite direction will lead to the fascinating Leonardo da Vinci Museum, which is filled with life-sized machines based on his many sketches. 

For more Renaissance creations, the iconic Uffizi Gallery lies around 700m to the south – well within walking distance. We'd recommend a leisurely riverside stroll along the River Arno afterwards, or if you're feeling active, head out on a stand-up paddleboarding expedition downriver.

Inside, the apartment is all clean lines and contemporary design, the exposed wood of the soaring ceilings and large wood-framed windows are the main clues to the building's extensive history. An open kitchen and living area combines Scandinavian style with Italian flair to create a stylish space with a real soul.

Staying in this elegant apartment, you get to experience the Florence of the past. Step through the grand foyer and you’ll immediately be taken by the timeless glamour of the home, which is decorated with antique furniture dating back to the 1600s and 1700s. The home is comfortable and well-equipped, but the star of the show here is the garden. Pass through the French doors of the living room and kitchen and spend hours relaxing amid lemon trees and pretty greenery. From this Porta Romana home, you’ll be just a short walk from the Boboli Gardens and Pitti Palace, and you can easily drive into the centre of Florence. 

Tiled Dreams

Steps away from the impressive collections of the Stefano Bardini Museum, this bright apartment is in a cultural hotspot. Close to other galleries, the Pritti Palace and the iconic Ponte Vecchio, this home connects you to the best of historic Florence without shying away from the new – find trendy bakeries and cafes within walking distance. Though it might feel a little more spacious with just four guests, it can accommodate six by folding out the sofa bed in the living room. That would mean that not everyone has a seat at the dining table, but that's a small compromise to make for the location. 

La Soprano

Footsteps from the backstreet trattoria street of Borgo S. Jacopo, this apartment is perfect for a foodie visit to Florence. Stroll along this restaurant-lined street to reach the Ponte Vecchio in just four minutes too. The Uffizi Gallery with its renowned Renaissance art collection is also a seven-minute walk, showing you just how central this place is.

From the apartment, you can spot the Basilica Santo Spirito whose interior dates back to the Renaissance. Inside, you can feel the history of the building from the painted wooden ceilings and terracotta tiled floors throughout. But the kitchen is all sleek modernism with plenty of room for the group to dine. We love the little luxurious Italian touches like the marble-style bathrooms and Juliet balconies for a breath of fresh air.
