Apartments and Holiday Rentals in Florence
For many travellers Florence is the finest jewel in Italy's crown, indeed it's lauded and admired the world over for its stunning art and grand architecture that doesn't fail to take your breath away. Marble statues adorn piazza after piazza and the frescoed walls and ceilings of the historic buildings are something else! This city is also choc-a-block with accommodation options from little family-run B&Bs and guesthouses to the grand 5 star properties where you're bound to spot a celeb or two. However more and more often we're being asked to recommend self-catering properties, which work especially well if you're travelling with children or in a larger group of friends or family. So we've put together a list of our top suppliers in this field who can provide everything from smart city centre studios for two, to much larger apartments, or even independent villas with pools which offer the best of both worlds — a country location but easy access to the city.
A quick guide:

- For families — Oliver's Travels
