Indulge yourself and a loved one with a romantic break in Florence. The exclusive Palazzo Portinari Salviati offers a selection of one-bedroom apartments such as Duca di Giuliano, an exquisite and stunningly-decorated home-from-home in the Cradle of the Renaissance. Welcoming up to two guests, this delightful apartment with views of the piazza below provides a sophisticated and beguiling base from which to explore the cultural treasures of Florence.

Compacted into a relatively small space for such an important city, Florence is full of museums, galleries, palaces and churches. Around every corner and in every square is a place where you can stand and gaze in awe at spectacular architectural wonders. A must-see is the Library of San Lorenzo, an Instagram-worthy architectural marvel created by the genius that was Michelangelo. Art lovers should set aside plenty of time to visit world-class art exhibitions in the Pitti Palace. When you need to relax for a while, the wide-open spaces of Boboli Gardens are ideal for a stroll in the sunshine.

After another busy day of cultural indulgence, the comfort of Duca di Giuliano awaits. A sumptuous living room is sympathetically decorated in a fusion of classical motifs and ornate furnishings. Modern living essentials are carefully added into the mix to create a welcoming home with fast Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV for some evening entertainment. A sleek kitchen provides everything you need to rustle up a tasty breakfast or a light evening meal. The bedroom is a restful, soothing oasis where soft tones and a cosy double bed lull you to sleep at the end of the day. The bathroom is a symphony of marble and high-end fixtures, with a deep, rolltop soak tub and refreshing shower.

Palazzo Portinari Salviati provides guests with all the indulgences you would expect in the former palace of the Duke of Tuscany. For an additional fee, an indulgent spa offers Turkish baths, massage and spa treatments to nourish your body and soul, while a Michelin-starred restaurant headed by one of Italy's best chefs tempts you with Florentine cuisine cooked to perfection. Duca di Giuliano introduces you to the finer things in life in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
