Combining contemporary comfort with classic Tuscan charm, this cosy apartment is the perfect base from which to discover the very best of Florence. Inside, it’s all wood-beamed ceilings and terracotta tiles. There’s an open-plan living space with a sleek kitchenette for throwing together Caprese salads at lunchtime and two Barcelona-style chairs for relaxing with a glass of Chianti in the evening.

Catch up on your emails or plan your itinerary at the handy writing desk, then throw on your sunhat and explore the city. The famous red dome of the Santa Maria del Fiore cathedral is around a five-minute walk from your doorstep and the Uffizi Gallery is just a short stroll away. When it comes to dining options, your abode is surrounded by pizzerias, restaurants and laidback trattorias, so you certainly won’t go hungry here.
