Even though Alberata Piccolo is rather small, it can actually work well for larger groups. This is because it has two next-door flats, also run by Daniele, and between them they can host up to sixteen people. Availability’s obviously the constraining factor, but the option is there. As for the flat itself, it packs a lot into its small footprint. The forest of ceiling beams stands out beautifully against the cream ceiling, and the copper chimney is another nice touch.

About Pitti
Unsurprisingly, Pitti stretches from the Palazzo Pitti – a Renaissance palace housing a vast European art collection – up to the river. Historically a working-class neighbourhood, today it’s full of boutique and artisan shops, leftovers from the tradesmen who used to inhabit the streets. This area is less busy and touristy than the northern districts, but those in the know still come to the Boboli Garden and Belvedere Fort for...

Wander the halls of Palazzo Pitti
Formerly a Medici residence, this vast Renaissance palace is now home to Florence's largest museum.
Unwind at Lo Sprone Vinaino
This tiny hole in the wall has fewer than ten tables, but the food is good and the wine even better.
Follow the trends at #RAW
Italy might not come to mind when you think of raw, vegan food, but this cafe is the place to get your turmeric shot or plant-based burger.
Simple fare at Trattoria Sant'Agostino
This lovely restaurant does a roaring trade in classic Tuscan dishes and carafes of local red wine.
Shop for jewellery on the Ponte Vecchio
There's been a bridge on this spot since Roman times, and since the medieval era, it's hosted shops and artisans.
While away the hours at Il Santino
Set in a former wine cellar, it doesn't take a genius to guess what this bar does well. They also do snacks, and it's the perfect place to spend a long evening.
Survey the cityscape at La Terrazza
On the top floor of the Hotel Continentale, this bar has some stunning views, and the best sunsets in Florence.
Brave the crowds at the Uffizi
There's a reason it's busy – from Leonardo and Botticelli through to Rembrandt, this is one of the most important collections of European art in the world.
Explore the gardens at Villa Bardini
These Renaissance gardens haven't been open to the public for very long, so make sure you visit now before everyone discovers how beautiful they are.
Fine dining at La Leggenda dei Frati
Hidden away in the beautiful Villa Bardini, this restaurant represents the upper end of Florentine food, and boasts one of the city's few Michelin stars.
Pizza and wine at Il Gusto e l'Uva
The sign in the window says it all – pizza and wine. This is a tried-and-tested combination, and done well, as it is here, it's unbeatable.
Catch a film at Cinema Odeon
This cinema has been going continuously since 1922, and these days it shows a combination of independent releases, blockbusters, and classic films.
