"In no other place of residence in Florence have we lived in such intimate touch with the city's historical past, and in so many of its expressions." So said Pulitzer Prize winner R.W.B. Lewis, author of 'THE CITY OF FLORENCE, HISTORICAL VISTAS AND PERSONAL SIGHTINGS', in his description of the palazzo during his stay there.

Imagine waking up in the heart of one of the world's most beautiful cities, in a luxurious apartment still owned and managed by an important Florentine family. Plan your day with an espresso and pastry from one of the many nearby cafés or watch the city come to life from your apartment that overlooks Piazza Santa Croce, home of the breathtaking Franciscan Basilica whose sacred walls house the final resting places of Michelangelo, Galileo and Machiavelli among many others important Florentines.

Centrally located, you are steps to The Uffizi Gallery and Piazza Signoria, This apartment is in a magnificent palace that offers you a slice of Florence life. From this large piazza you have views of many of Florence's monuments, including the Duomo, Giotto's Campanile, Saan Mniato al Monte even the hill town of Fiesole in the distance.

The apartment is tastefully decorated and equipped to delight with period details, comfortable and beautiful furnishing and fabrics, well-equipped kitchens and state of the art comforts including heating, air conditioning, laundry facilities and dishwashers.

The location is ideal for sightseeing, right on the Piazza Santa Croce and the magnificent Gothic church of the same name. The tombs of Michelangelo and Galileo and other famous Florentines are housed there. A short walk will take you to some very small but very interesting museums, such as the Horne Museum, the museum of the story of science, dedicated to Galileo, and two ancient herbal shops, Erboristeria and Erboristeria della Antica Farmacia del Cinghiale (Herbalist at the Old Boar Pharmacy). You can purchase herbal soaps, potpourri and fragrances made from ancient recipes by monks and nuns throughout Tuscany. A few more steps and you are at the Piazza della Signoria and the world famous Uffizi. And that's just in one direction!

This apartment is one of several in a majestic palace right on the famous Piazza Santa Croce. Each apartment is accessible by elevator or a short flight of stairs and is kept in premiere condition by the noble family who live on site.
