What a Pitti

This home's location is the epitome of Renaissance grandeur. You'll find it perched in Pitti Square, just steps from the vast Renaissance marvel of the Pitti Palace, where you'll find an array of art galleries and museums. Despite its central location, nestled in Florence's historic centre, this home is delightfully peaceful, perched up high on the fourth floor and tucked away from the hustle and bustle.

The interior is stylish and inviting, boasting lofty beamed ceilings and hardwood floors. Large windows usher in plenty of light while offering picturesque rooftop views. We especially love the open-plan living space, cloaked in a calming shade of baby blue and exuding an ambience of calm. After a restful slumber, enjoy slow mornings here, sipping espresso on the plush sofas and tucking into breakfast at the dining table before slipping out to explore. Stroll through the cobbled streets, passing through the shop-lined Ponte Vecchio and across the river to marvel at Centro Storico's array of medieval churches and cathedrals, including the red-tiled Duomo, thirteen minutes from your doorstep on foot.

Home truths:
*Parking in Florence can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot
*This home is spread over two floors, with no internal lift
*Your host can provide a cot for free upon request
*The second bedroom is located on the mezzanine above the living space – there's no door or partitioning wall, so privacy here is limited
*At full occupancy, there isn't enough seating around the dining table for all guests here
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*You'll need to bring your own toiletries with you to use during your stay
