This colourful penthouse lies in the heart of Florence. There's no lift here so you'll need to climb a lot of stairs, but the views of the Duomo are gorgeous. You can expect some outside noise due to the central location, but this is easily remedied with earplugs. The double sofa bed in the living room makes this home ideal whether you're travelling as family, friends, or a couple. The kitchen is on the smaller side, but you'll have plenty of Florence's fantastic restaurants right on your doorstep. Parking here will be tricky, but within walking distance, you'll find hotspots like the Piazza della Signoria and the Basilica di Santa Maria Novella.

Home truths

    Parking in Florence can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.

    You can check yourself in here – you'll need a mobile device with internet access in order to access the apartment and the building.

    At full capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living room.

    This home is on the fifth floor of a building with no lift, so you'll need to climb a lot of stairs.

    There is a window from the hallway to the bedroom – this has tinted shutters which can be closed, but you still might not have full privacy.

    Storage is tight here, so we recommend packing light.

    At full capacity, there won't be enough seats for everyone at the dining table.

This bundle of streets holds some of the greatest artistic heritage in Europe – the Accademia Gallery houses the original David by Michelangelo, and many of the famous Italian painters were members of the Florence Academy...
