Duomo Corner

Less than 100 metres from the Duomo of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, this authentic apartment is perfectly placed for exploring Florence. In such a central spot, you're only a short walk away from the city's most popular piazzas and bridges, and you'll have your pick of local bars and eateries. Inside, it’s wonderfully traditional, featuring original frescoed ceilings and classic furnishings. There’s also a full kitchen and a dining table that doubles as a handy workspace, so you can enjoy simple home-cooked meals or catch up on emails between adventures.

Home truths:
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
*There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
*If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
