Florence's best viewpoint is just a short walk away from this apartment. We're talking about Piazzale Michelangelo, a hilltop square offering panoramas of all the city's landmarks. The historic centre is also within easy reach, as are Bardini Gardens and Ponte Vecchio. In fact, the gardens are so close you can actually spot the leafy trees from the private terrace – we can't think of a better backdrop for alfresco aperitifs. There's not much character inside, but there's plenty of space to unwind, and all the essentials are taken care of. Your host is also on hand to help arrange tours and other top-notch experiences to make your stay that much more exciting.
