Description Florentine Charm: Firenze

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.
