With jaw-dropping frescoes and standout designer interiors, it’s no wonder this central Florentine apartment has graced the pages of the decor bible, Architectural Digest. Delivering split-level living with a huge open plan living and kitchen area taking centre stage, you’d hardly believe this home is designed just for two. If we were being picky, the bed feels a little big for the bedroom – but a dressing room and two bathrooms more than make up for that. Set in the heart of historic Santa Croche, it’s surprisingly quiet here. But when you’re ready to dive into the city’s bustle, all the hotspots, including the mighty Accademia Galleries and Basilica of Santa Croce, are just a stroll away.

Home truths:
*A cot and high chair can be provided for little ones.
*Your host will greet you to check in. However, if you’re arriving after 6pm, you’ll need to send your host a copy of a valid ID for each guest in advance. This is to help speed up the check-in process
*The apartment is located on the first floor and has shared lift access.
*While the large bed makes for a great night's sleep, it does feel a little big for the room.
