Description Across the Arno: Firenze

With spectacular views over the Arno River and the historic monuments beyond it, this stylish apartment ensures a memorable escape. Throw open the windows and spot the iconic sights from the comfort of your own living room. What's more, the open loft layout and its gloriously uncluttered spaces make it perfect for groups of friends or families looking to sprawl out and relax later in the day. Come morning, you'll enjoy sunny cappuccinos on the private balcony, before setting off for a day of sightseeing – you're a few footsteps from the Ponte Vecchio, with countless piazzas, eateries and bars across the water.
