In the heart of Florence, this two-storey apartment offers stunning views of the Palazzo Vecchio from the master bedroom. Step into the large living room, and you’ll discover an eclectic mix of old and new – the oil landscape painting behind the flat-screen TV probably sums it up best, but we also love details like the rotary phone and the plush armchairs. In the daytime, you and your friends will explore the historical sights before coming back to enjoy a meal cooked in the modern kitchen at the antique wooden dining table. Head up the glossy black tinted staircase, and you’ll discover a second comfy seating area and the two bedrooms – each packed full of character thanks to artwork and furnishing from different eras. The two bathrooms are a work of art themselves, with bright blue and green mosaic tiles that draw the eye. Home truths: * There are two bathrooms, but only one has a shower * There is only air conditioning in one of the bedrooms
