Sitting pretty near the banks of the River Arno, this top-floor apartment enjoys spellbinding views over Florence. You can soak them up from whichever terrace takes your fancy – there are two to choose from here – but there’s only enough space for a couple of people on each, so make sure to choose your cocktail companion wisely. Inside, though, there’s plenty of space to get together as a group with sofa beds offering flexible sleeping arrangements. There’s a dedicated desk in the study too – perfect for writing your postcards back home, or if you really must, catching up on work.

Home truths:
*While the home can sleep up to nine people, the maximum occupancy is seven guests. The first and second bedrooms can be set up as either double or twin rooms, plus there are two sofa beds if you require more flexible sleeping arrangements.
*There are two terraces here, but both only have enough seating for two people. If you want to eat as a group, you'll need to use the indoor dining table.
*There's a supermarket nearby if you need to purchase essentials.
