Aria to a Bird Firenze, Tuscany

Holiday Rental Description

Take things easy on one of two gorgeous balconies belonging to this dream of an apartment a short walk from central Florence. With views across the rooftops to the green hills, it's just about 50 metres from Ponte Viejo and Piazza Pitti.

A romantic retreat for two at the top of a traditional building, it's bright, neatly laid out and super comfortable. In the summer months, all you'll need is the small but practical kitchen, the outdoor dining table – shaded from the sun with an awning – and the squashy outdoor corner sofa. Grab some fresh bread, olives and a glass of something chilled, and watch the sun go down over this historic city.

Home truths:
*Your central spot means you may hear some city noise and there might be some construction nearby
*Only one towel is provided per person here
*There's no separate living room here so it's more of a studio
*Although some basic essentials are provided, local laws limit them somewhat – you'll need to provide your own bin bags
*Please note the place to drop off rubbish and recyclables isn't in the building – it's a five-minute walk
*Your home is at the top of the building but there's no need to climb the stairs here as there's a lift
*There's no oven but the kitchen is perfect for cooking light meals – cafes and restaurants are close by too
*The heating and air conditioning are split-type ductless systems
