Some of us are city-dwellers by nature and, even in our downtime, never want to be too far from the action and constant list of things to see and do. Some of us can't or don't drive or want to avoid getting in the car while relaxing on holidays. Some of us need to be able to stroll in any given direction and find a cafe or restaurant or corner shop.

For whatever reason, you might be the kind of person that has no interest in picturesque villas in the countryside or rumbling palaces. You might, instead, be more inclined to look for a nice apartment, in the thick of things, where amenities are never far away and you can easily wander or hop on some form of public transport to explore, relax and enjoy your holidays. If so, this is the article for you as we have rounded up ten of our thousands of incredible apartments in Italy for your viewing pleasure.
