Looking for a central base with bundles of character? This apartment fits the bill. Smack-dab in Piazza Santa Croce, you'll find it in a historic palazzo with ties to the Medici bankers. Exploring on foot is a breeze here – Florence's must-see landmarks, shops, and eateries are all just a short walk away. The cosy sitting room offers views of the piazza, while the traditional kitchen is well-appointed for rustling up Italian classics. Our personal favourite is the pink bedroom, with its gold details and sumptuous bed. The cherry on top is the small communal gym, which we're sure fitness buffs will appreciate.

Home truths:
*While the bathrooms aren’t photographed in full, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*One bedroom leads onto a small private terrace. However, there’s currently nowhere to sit.
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
*You'll have access to the building's communal gym here. It's shared with other residents.
*You won’t need a car in this central location. All of the landmarks are within easy walking distance.
*This apartment is in a busy piazza home to one of Florence’s famous landmarks. Some street noise is likely.
