Vacation Rentals in Florence, Italy

Located in central Italy, Florence is the capital city of the region of Tuscany.

The birthplace of the Renaissance, Florence showcases the very best of Italia. Romantic, enchanting, and utterly irresistible, Florence is a place to feast your eyes and taste buds with world-class art and gourmet Tuscan cuisine. Skip down the narrow cobbled streets as you marvel at a cinematic collection of elegant palazzi, medieval candle-lit chapels, fresco-decorated churches, and world-class art museums bursting with the chef-d’œuvres of Botticcelli and Michelangelo. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city is also the birthplace of Italy’s fashion industry, as well as a gourmet paradise where eating and drinking is not a necessary activity, but opportunities of unmitigated pleasure. An Italian treasure chest of art, culture, and history, the Florentine lifestyle is truly dolce.

• Duomo: Discover the delights of the Duomo when you enter the iconic cathedral repeatedly printed on postcards and travel catalogues alike. Built over six centuries, the cathedral is famous above all for Brunelleschi’s huge 15th-century terracotta-tiled cupola, still the biggest masonry dome in the world. Inside, look out for Paolo Uccello’s famous fresco of the 14th-century British mercenary, Sir John Hawkwood, as well as the glittering mosaic ceiling in the Baptistery.
• Piazza della Signoria: Spend your afternoon hours nursing an espresso on an outside table at one of the cafes and restaurants surrounding the Piazza della Signoria. Dominated by the medieval town hall of Palazzo Vecchio, the Piazza del Signoria is always crowded and always buzzing with high-energy, enhanced by the cacophony of sounds that originate from the wonderful mix of Florentines and tourists intermingling with each other.
• Ponte Vecchio: Straddling the Arno, Florence’s oldest bridge has been lined with quaint stores since the 14th century. Once populated with malodorous proprietors of butchers, tanners, and blacksmiths, the shops are now occupied by jewelers and goldsmiths that still continue to reign over their centuries-old shops. When you visit Ponte Vecchio, make sure to pick up a treasure to take home.
