It’s not hard to see why this apartment has made it into our collection. Located in a stunning 16th-century building overlooking Piazza Pitti, the views are more than impressive. Fortunately there’s a little terrace where you can sit back and soak it all in. There is also plenty of socialising and entertaining space across the living and dining room. At full occupancy two guests will be sleeping on sofa beds, but this is ideal for families travelling with children. Your lovely host can also help organise extras like private chefs and housekeeping. And when it comes to excursions, it’s just a short stroll to Florence’s most iconic sights.
