It’s easy to see why this apartment made our collection. Take a look at the stunning vistas over the River Arno and the Ponte Vecchio from the two Juliet balconies here. But this place isn’t all about the view – the sophisticated interiors are a highlight, too. Each bedroom has a luxury Italian marble en-suite bathroom as well. And as for the location, well, this home is 30 metres from Ponte Vecchio, and you’ll have cafes and restaurants literally on your doorstep.

Home truths:
*Though this home has a lift, there are a few steps to reach it.
*There are double-glazed windows here, but as this apartment has an excellent, central location, you may hear some street noise.
*There's a cafe beneath the apartment block – perfect for breakfasts and lunches if you don't want to cook.
*Parking in Florence can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
