Child of the Renaissance

Florence is a city with a unique history and if you want a home that reflects this, you're looking at one right now. Step inside and you'll be greeted by high vaulted ceilings, embellished decorations and weathered yellow walls that really invoke a sense of heritage.

That being said, a recent renovation means that the furnishings and fittings have moved on a bit since Renaissance times. The sleek grey kitchen with an island is contemporary design at its sleekest, while the grey bathroom is equally smart.

It should also be mentioned that the location is nothing short of superb. Many of the city's most famous galleries — including Accademia, San Marco and the National Archaeological Museum — can be reached in around ten minutes' walk, while the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore takes a quarter of an hour.
