Attic apartment with terrace near the Cathedral

My apartment is near Piazza Duomo, in the heart of Florence. It's easy to reach on foot or by taxi from the station and it’s only a short ride from the airport. Located in the center of Florence, it will give you a chance to visit all the main places in just a few minutes. You will like it for the location, for the wonderful attic and the terrace overlooking Brunelleschi's Dome, for the views and privacy. This accommodation is suitable for couples, families (with children) and adventurers.

The interior of the apartment will take you through the history of Florence from the 16th century onwards, with some unique pieces of furniture adapted to the rest of the furnishings.

Each large and sunny room enjoys the tranquility of the place.

The main room, adjoining the kitchen and with an additional sofa bed, overlooks a spacious balcony where, for much of the year, you can comfortably relax, looking at the Cathedral, just a few meters from you.

Two independent bathrooms will allow you to better manage the time at your disposal: one of them is at the exclusive service of the bedroom.

The modern kitchen is equipped with all appliances.

The 16th century building was owned by the artist Bernardo Buontalenti and was renovated by his heirs probably in the early 18th century.

The building changed hands many times and probably at the beginning of the 19th century some neoclassical decorations were added in the interior.

Its front shows elements of the 16th-17th century tradition, with some later alterations: on three floors arranged on nine axes, it has two portals framed by stone ashlar and enclosed at the top by a mask with tied volutes, clearly in late Mannerist style. The windows of the upper floors are bounded by elegant strong stone frames.

I’l l be happy to help you any time you may need, willing to make your stay enjoyable and unforgettable

Walking through the narrow streets of the old town center means imagining the intense life of the traders around the Cathedral, of Piazza della Signoria, with the majestic figure of David by Michelangelo (a copy). The beautiful statue has been standing for centuries facing the Loggia della Signoria, a real art gallery in the open air, and Palazzo Vecchio, one of the most important medieval public buildings in Italy.

From here is the entrance to the Uffizi Gallery, the oldest of modern European art museums.

Florence “is the Arno”, the river that runs through the city: a walk on Ponte Vecchio is not to be missed. There you can visit its historical shops of goldsmiths and silversmiths, and see the corridor designed by Vasari, which connected the buildings on the right bank with Palazzo Pitti, on the other bank of the river, and that was used by the Medici family as a secure way to reach their home.

Palazzo Pitti is the most monumental building and houses the Palatine Gallery (with works by Giorgione, Raphael and Tintoretto).

The apartment is 10 minutes' walk from Santa Maria Novella railway station; from here several bus lines and sightseeing buses depart for the hills around the city.

In the same street of the apartment there is a food shop, a tobacco shop, a bakery and several typical local restaurants.
