This contemporary penthouse with a view of Brunelleschi's dome delivers space and practicality in equal measure. Bedrooms are set apart across two levels, while over in the living area, a sofa-bed offers a more flexible sleeping set-up. There’s also a well-equipped kitchen to rustle up cosy meals in. Although with bustling wine bars and trattorias just moments from your door, we suspect you’ll be eating out. Don’t miss a nighttime stroll past the Duomo (just five minutes away). It's a magical place to be when the crowds disappear and the lights come on.
