Penthouse apartments in Florence don’t get much better than this. Here, you’ll have incredible views of the city, River Arno, and iconic sights including the Duomo and Brancacci Chapel. The L-shaped terrace is the star of the show, with an alfresco dining area and a space for open-air yoga and pilates. The apartment is sleek and modern, despite being housed in a 17th-century palazzo. You’ll have all the mod-cons you could wish for, and you’ll be in the Santa Maria Novella district, a ten-minute walk from the train station. We’re ready to book our flights for the view alone. Home truths: *Well-behaved pets are welcome to join you during your stay. *There are fifteen stairs to climb to reach the second bedroom so this home may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility. *Bedroom one is partially open to the living space and kitchen – there’s no door to separate the bedroom. *Given this home’s central location, there’s a chance you may hear some noise during your stay. *The nearest supermarket is a four-minute walk away.
