This luxury 3,000 square foot penthouse apartment is centrally located in the heart of Florence. Just steps from the Piazza della Signoria, the Uffizi and the Ponte Vecchio. Boasts a large, 650 square foot rooftop terrace. Light and airy, it is one of Florence's most beautiful apartments.
It has everything you need for a luxurious stay in Florence. Fully air conditioned for the summers, a large romantic fireplace for the fall and winters, WiFi internet and satellite TV are just a few of the amenities, not to leave out the professional kitchen and your own parking space in the underground garage. Just a few steps from the Uffizi Gallery, the Piazza della Signoria and the Ponte Vecchio, it is centrally located as well!
The apartment is located in a historical palace in the heart of Florence that dates back to the 12th century and restored again in the 17th century to its grandness. Destroyed during World War II, when the nearby tower crashed into the top floor of the palace, it was restored after the war from the same stones and bricks of the tower that fell onto it. The new millennium brings another restoration. This one blending the old with the new, as the interior designer owner used layers of paint to highlight the post World War II restoration.
A lovely terrace offers up beautiful roof top views.
Centrally located, on a quiet street you are a short walk to restaurants and sight seeing destinations.
It goes without saying that this building has an elevator - to whisk you up to your fourth floor apartment in style. Make sure you take the beautiful vaulted staircase down at least once during your stay!
