It’s quite the departure from the cozy charm of a Tuscan home overflowing with antique bits and bobs, but for a one-of-a-kind stay, this loft is memorable. Find it in a three-floor artist residency building, where each “studio” features high ceilings, oversized windows, and sparse-but-stylish furnishings. This one prioritizes raw materials and feels like a blank canvas; if you’re heading to Florence to tap into your creative side, it makes a great option for a longer stay.

With enough room for six plus several kid-friendly amenities included, like a high chair and a crib, this sunny apartment works well for families. That’s not to say it’s purely functional: Between architectural features, such as arched windows and vaulted ceiling beams, and smaller decorative touches, like paper light pendants and jute rugs, it strikes a nice design balance. With easy access to the river and historic center, it’s conveniently located, too.
