Booking an apartment in Tuscany means that you can get closer to the action by being located right in the historic centre of famous towns and cities such as Florence and Cortona or directly overlooking the sea on the Tuscan Coast. For those travelling alone or as a couple or a smaller group it might also be the cosier and often the inexpensive option. Plus, if you’re planning on being out all day exploring and having adventures, rather than wanting to hang out at home by the pool (as you can at one of our villas in Tuscany), then all you need is a comfortable and welcoming place to lay your head at the end of the day. 

Among these properties, however, we have some especially stylish gems, some apartments in gorgeous historic buildings, apartments with truly astounding views, apartments in especially convenient and central locations where you can stroll along to restaurants and bars easily, and more. So, discover our picks of some of the best apartments in Tuscany that you can book with us!

Picture this: you have been enjoying a stay in one of our luxury villas in Florence, you have spent the day exploring the city, you have worked up an appetite and a thirst, it’s lunchtime, and you want to enjoy some seriously chic bites and a truly excellent glass (or maybe even a bottle, especially if you’re splitting it with a group of similarly-minded travel companions) of wine. Well, then we have a perfect prescription for you to make your day even more enjoyable: a visit to Procacci 1885, one of the oldest and most glamorous wine bars in the birthplace of the Renaissance.
