Description A Tuscan Haven: Firenze

This loft is a stylish retreat in the heart of Florence’s luxury shopping district. Tucked inside a historic tower house, it’s full of charm, from the beamed ceilings to elegant arches. The sleek kitchen is perfect for slow mornings or cosy dinners in. The studio layout means that the bed is open-plan to the living area. At full capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed, so you'll need to be comfortable sharing the space. You’ll also have to climb eighty-two steps to reach this fourth-floor gem, as there’s no lift. However, the location and dreamy views of the courtyard and Florence rooftops make it well worth the effort.

Home truths:
*There are 82 steps leading up to the front door here. It might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area. The bedroom is open-plan to the space, so privacy is limited.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
*You won’t need a car here – it’s easy to explore everything on foot.
