This elegant Florence home delivers on both style and location. Set in the historic centre, you’re five minutes on foot from the Galleria dell’Accademia and ten to the majestic Duomo – a spot-on base for exploring. Despite the building’s heritage charm (don't get us started on those magnificent gabled ceilings), the apartment is surprisingly practical. Each generously proportioned bedroom has a separate shower room – so there’s no need to tussle for the best room here. All that said, there are a few things to note here. The kitchen is on the compact side, and the apartment building has no lift, so be prepared to climb some stairs. But for a home delivering on so much else, we'll let that slide.

Home truths:
*A cot and high chair can be provided for little ones on request.
*This apartment is located on the second floor without lift access, so be prepared to climb some stairs.
*The kitchen is compact and better suited to prepping lighter bites and breakfasts than large meals.
*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
*There is no private parking with this apartment, but you're in the centre of Florence, so having a car is not necessary.
