This one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Florence boasts a lovely rooftop terrace with sweeping views across the city. You'll have space for dining alfresco, and shops and supermarkets are just minutes away on foot. There's a large flight of steps to reach the entrance, which won't be suitable for everyone, but the views and location are more than worth it. If you're looking for a cosy spot that's a bit out of the way but still within walking distance of attractions and restaurants, look no further.

Home truths:
*Service animals may be welcome here, but speak to your host about this before booking – regular pets aren't permitted.
